They have your trades, mail, AH, whispers, everything you’ve done recorded, you can request the data. Blizzard doesn’t want to sift through it all.
How do they detect it, if it was never actually traded?
Just put into the pot by the host
Just another reason it was banned
and yet they made changes to make it easier to track the gold
How is one supposed to get the gold if it’s neither traded nor mailed?
Yes, because they didn’t want to sift through everything…
Gdkper with 0 gold wants to buy an item for 100k so he tells the host. He then bids and wins it.
The host puts 100k of his own gold into the pot, while taking payment outside of wow.
The pot is then dispersed to the other players. The lump sum is never traded to the buyer. There’s no log of the buyer paying 100k for an item.
Buyer gets item, raid gets rmt
Everyone that joined the gdkp has now helped launder and sell gold. That’s why they get payment.
Congratulations, you’ve just learnt the easiest way to launder rmtd / botted gold! This is why they are so desperate to have gdkps back on anni. Because now they are losing customers to bans, and cuts for selling it on g2g.
Keep naively believing these same guys are running 7+ gdkps a week for the love of the game though.
I doubt that this is a common occurrence. And if it is then banning GDKPs wouldn’t stop this it’d encourage it.
Who’s running 7+ GDKPs? No one I know.
Ah yes, blizzard and I just made that whole thing up. That must be it.
Literally 5 of the big gdkps are advertising this right now on arugal
Playing dumb is why gdkps were banned on all new servers
With god as my witness we are all in awe of your erudition.

That’s funny, because every GDKP I’ve ever joined announces the trade in raid out loud, in real time. That means it’s tracked. The bid is called, the winner is confirmed, and the gold is traded visibly. There’s a chat log, a combat log, and often a spreadsheet or Discord record to back it up. If someone tried to slip in off-WoW payments, it would stand out immediately.
Your scenario only works if the entire raid is complicit and silent which isn’t how legitimate GDKPs operate. Transparency is built into the format. If Blizzard wants to investigate, they’ve got logs. What they don’t have is a reason to ban a system just because it could be abused.
Your strawman arguments are always debunked!
What are they advertising? Is this your “LF afk buyer” fake news claim again one you’ve yet to prove? We’ve been asking you for months, Ripsod, to show the evidence, and you still haven’t provided it.

Well that’s good
Luckily blizzard has been on the discords and sees what happens
Again, I didn’t make this up. Blizzard has said this.
The days of “hit me up for some gold” are over sorry friend
they can increase gold dropp oh wow
You keep saying
like it’s gospel, but where’s the actual quote? If Blizzard had publicly confirmed Discord surveillance and declared GDKPs as RMT hubs, you’d be linking it not repeating it. Vague claims and secondhand hearsay aren’t evidence. They’re just noise.
And let’s be clear: the days of
were never about GDKPs they were about direct RMT, which Blizzard has always banned. GDKPs aren’t the problem. Abusers are. If Blizzard’s watching Discords, great. That means they can target the real offenders instead of gutting systems that thousands use legitimately.
So unless you’ve got a blue post, a policy update, or an actual citation, all you’re doing is parroting speculation and hoping it sticks.

They had an interview with a Dev
He said blizzard had actively been on many discords, and saw the amount of rmt going on
Games up
Proof? Where’s the link to the interview, video, or article? If Blizzard actually said that, you’d be posting the source not vague claims. Put up or pipe down.
I didn’t say that you made it up, me saying “I doubt that this is a common occurrence” isn’t me refuting that it happens…
He’s saying that the GDKP ads are promoting it but all I ever see is X GDKP is doing Y raid looking for Z players. There are some that do say AFK players welcome but to what extent idk.
No it’s not and you know it’s not.
Gdkps exist because of rmt
That’s why they advertise for afkers / buyers
That’s why they run 7 a week
We all know it
Blizzard knows it
Gdkpers 
Wrong. GDKPs exist because players want agency over loot and gold. RMT is abuse of the system not the reason it exists. Running multiple raids a week isn’t proof of RMT it’s proof of demand. If Blizzard “knows,” show the quote. Otherwise, it’s just speculation dressed up as certainty.
She just can’t admit she’s wrong that’s all this is!
Textbook denial: the refusal to accept reality or facts because doing so would mean acknowledging fault, losing face, or surrendering control. It’s not about truth anymore it’s about ego preservation at all costs.
