Hot Take: Getting Rid Of GDKPs Was A Mistake (Part 1)

I’m eating and got twitch/youtube streams up on second monitor. Just chilling making the trolls look dumber than they make themselves.

Raid on retail later today so don’t want to log in to wow and farm/grind. Just wanna vibe.

no I want you people to think you complain about bots and rmt but you just say ignore that and give me my gdkps back

Blizzard is already ignoring it and it didn’t do anything to affect RMT/botting to ban GDKP. So why not have GDKP?

Like, are you genuinely incapable of understanding that the ban did nothing?

It’s like when they removed master loot on retail. Cool, now groups can’t use ML but people still can cheat with class stacking.

Nothing changed. Nothing stopped.

2 week ban perma ban same thing for punishment becausse they just hack peoples account or buy new accounts awesome job you stopped nothing. you have gdkp you just dont want to play that version of the game you want gdkps on the more popular version

I’m not blizzard I could come up with a way to remove all bots but it wouldn’t matter, convincing Nothingburger of some make believe fantasy that is never going to happen is boring.

I have no power over the game, this whole debate is pointless, it doesn’t matter what you come up with or what you agree on for changes because those changes won’t ever happen lmfao, it’s all pretend.

You’re literally on the forums trying to come up with some imaginary system that blizzard will never put in rofl.

Gdkps are banned and aren’t coming back, you don’t have to defend anything, nothing anyone says is going to change that.

2 week perma for buyers and banning bots before they’ve farmed 3 million gold would do massive damage to the RMT scene. But admitting that would be admitting you’ve been wrong this whole time.

Like, you don’t genuinely think gold is $10 for 1k because they can’t sell it right?

I wish we could downvote posts, or atleast emoji react them.

when you think about things you understand why companies or people dont do certain things. But ofcourse thats too hard for you

Because of money.

Lmfao.

Everyone knows bots and rmt stopped with the gdkp ban Sarcasm

It’s very obvious there’s still plenty of demand for rmt regardless if gdkp is banned or not all they did was harm legitimate players in enjoying gdkp’s in the process for no real gain.

Here comes the gold seller with his daily bump

Agreed. The ban may have looked good on paper, but in practice it didn’t really work out.

On paper its even more obvious… haha

Very nice, follows the exact same path classic did which is considered their best sub improvement since WoTLK.

That’s why they deemed SoD a success, and continued the gdkp ban which was considered successful

Now show us a graph of the only season that allowed gdkps?

Whether they admit it or not the playerbase knows the gdkp ban was a failure and only negatively impacted the player experience.

Hence why after all this time its still the most discussed topic by literally everyone had it actually made the game better in anyway most would of accepted it and moved on.

As a player who has played since 2004 i can say without any doubt that the removal of gdkp has negatively impacted my experience and the ability to play alts and raid more.

We can argue until the end of time on the pros and cons of GDKPs. Boosts RMT, doesn’t boost RMT…the undeniable fact is it degrades Pugs having it banned.
Guild raids are generally Loot Council, DKP, or some mixture of those generally so doesn’t have a huge impact either way but if you have alts that don’t raid in your guild runs you are going to pug.
Pugs on the other hand not many people want to go to a pug where the best 3-5 items are HR’d and either going to the raid lead or being sold on the side (people will argue this but it happens).
Does going to a GDKP and that one item you have wanted for a long time drops and losing it to someone who may have used RMT to outbid you sucks but atleast you had a chance at it unlike if its HR’d. Then at the end you get some form of a payout to help offset your ingame costs.

The reasonable compromise/solution for everyone is giving the players the choice to play on a server with them and a server without them if they aren’t willing to completely remove the ban.

Until this happens we will all just go in circles im not going to stop pushing for them to return and im sure there’s some who will keep going to keep them banned.

Ultimately people will quit the game if they can’t enjoy it the way they want so its in blizzards best interest to provide a server allowing them to retain those players.

Also with the mega server mess that is Anniversary farming is near impossible with the huge population and bot problem. The resources do not reflect the server population.
The only farming options are instance based ones like Dire Maul jump runs. But unless you dual box a dps/healer or play a certain class you aren’t doing that. The people doing the above method is prob well under 10% of the raiding population.
So how are the other 90% of the raiding population supporting their cost of raiding? They are either casual andies and not using most consumes or they are using RMT to fund themselves.
Anyone arguing this it just being dishonest and trolling.

100% but all the anti-gdkpers would cry because there anti servers would be near dead on launch.

its only talked about cause you wont move on. Please for the love of god move on to another game to sell gold

I hope people quit because they cant gdkp we dont want them anyways
