Blizzard has said publicly they are happy GDKP is banned and haven’t noticed a lot of negative feedback about it being banned.

From the article
At the very beginning there was a huge outcry in the community over the decision when it came into force. Now I no longer see it as such a hot topic. It’s almost as if people said to themselves, “Okay, GDKP is banned in the Season of Discovery.” I guess that’s life.” And then they just put it behind them. We don’t see a big outcry [now] from people who were unhappy about it.
GDKP is an excellent method to launder money and an excellent method to conceal the path of gold. Without that kind of shield, it makes it a lot easier for us to clean up other things and be a little bit more steadfast in other aspects of the economy.
I agree with them. Not many people complaining and it has helped stop money laundering.
Win win all around.

I remember when they posted this. Someone mentioned it on the forum. I never saw the original until now.
I had an AI find it for me.

And they said AI wasn’t useful

Old article from the early days of them banning GDKPs in SoD, no date given of when the article was made. Old information referring to another article, should’ve linked the original so I’ll do it.

Would you look at that, it’s from the 25th of Febuary 2024 and was already talked about here on the forums.

I don’t know why you’re bringing up old stuff as if it’s new.
It’s odd if they haven’t changed the policy since then and kept them banned in Anniversary.
I guess they are still happy with the ban
Okay? Why are you positing as if it’s new information though, it’s a year old and we’ve heard nothing about it since other than they’re not allowing GDKPs in the Anniversery servers ~9 months after it was banned on SoD which was likely an experiment in of itself.
Why does this affect you so much?
What? It doesn’t. It just seems like you’re trying to mislead people into thinking that Blizzard has made a statement recently when it’s over a year old.
Where did I say it’s recent.
I linked the article.
Your wordage makes people assume it’s recent.
There’s no date on what you linked, there’s a date on what I linked which is what it referenced.

Has no date.
I linked the entire article you can read it.
Not my fault you don’t like the news.
Obviously they are happy with the ban still since GDKP is still banned.
Doesn’t seem like the news has changed since then
I used Ctrl F there’s no 2024, no 25th, no Feb, no date and there’s not even a /
Sorry but you’re wrong.

Sorry but it doesn’t change the news.
Clearly it was when SoD came out from the wording of the questions.
I can tell this flusters you but clearly the sentiment at Blizzard hasn’t changed since then because GDKP is still banned.
They even carried the ban from SoD into Anniversary.
All signs they are still pleased with the results.
I would not bother with him he lives to troll and ragebait people
You framed it wrong, I’m just correcting you.
You said it had a date, it didn’t.
I’m not flustered in the least, I play neither SoD nor Anniversary as you can see by the character I’m posting on, I just want an honest discussion, leaving no room for deceit, intentional or not.
They likely are pleased with banning GDKPs in SoD and Anniversary I’m not denying that it’s just how you present this thread.
Edit: honestly > honest
It’s clear they are still pleased since they haven’t changed the policy and even extended it.
It’s a nice insight into their feelings on the subject.
I’ve brought this up to people in the past and they told me it never happened.
I was just posting this so people are aware of how Blizzard feels about the GDKP ban.
The AI even took 3 attempts to find this for me. I didn’t want this to be lost to history,
Don’t worry I have it bookmarked now.
Simple reality is that if they were bleeding subs over the GDKP ban they would had reverted it a while ago.
You can argue in circles and semantics about the topic but that’s the only aspect that matters to Blizzard.
