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

it is a fallacy that they are doing nothing when you are actively campaigning against something they are doing.

Blizzard also made the choice to buff feral druids in wrath. Blizzard made the choice to nerf armor pots because warriors were using them. Blizzard made the choice to nerf fiery weapon in less than 18 hours because “old enchants” while letting rogues craft a caster dagger, wear felstriker/rod of the sun king, and wear stormshroud armor (all level 70 or lower items besides the caster dagger) to do like 40-50k aoe dps.

They are doing nothing OF VALUE. Banning GDKP as an attempt to curb RMT when the sources of RMT go unpoliced is the definition of not doing anything. Bots aren’t even trying to hide what they do. They flyhack, clip through the world, all use the same pathing scripts, remove textures, etc etc etc. And now we have to play a worse game because of it.

It didn’t do anything but drastically decrease the quality of raids really. Have you bought anything off the AH. The prices are wild. I’ve got plenty of gold from farming and investing, but it’s still wild. The amount of bots in Azshara and burning steppes is still crazy.

So Bliz is the enemy because they won’t allow you to trade gold for gear, you are in too deep.

Brother if you think the state of the fresh open world/AH is fine YOU’RE in too deep.

I mean, if you want to go with a third group of mostly indifferent people…fine. But they don’t post much.

So you’re saying there’s a strong link between Paid Runs and the Greater Economy? maybe that’s another reason they are banned.

There’s no “paid runs” in fresh though. And the economy is worse than any “paid run” server.

If taking it away caused catastrophe it sounds like withdrawals and addictions, maybe the high wasn’t worth it

Yet another post personally attacking individuals and not actually addressing anything were saying.

Are you stupid?

Taking it away didn’t do anything. That’s literally the point I’ve been making. The catastrophe is that RMT and botting is unchecked and doing more damage to the game than GDKP ever did. And you (along with every other anti) refuse to engage in discussion and just constantly slander anyone who disagrees with you.

You’re so disgusting man.

It’s not a paid run. It’s a pug with a gold bidding system for loot. Stop being so disingenuous in your every post.

Listen it is fun to wind you guys up but you kind of get lost in your own fallacies,

it does nothing, it helps so much back and forth back and forth

It causes catastrophes for swipers who want to buy bis gear. And the people who received a cut of that gold. And of course rmt not nearly what it would be with GDKPs.

K so you belong on block list because you have no argument you’re just here to troll. Got it. Love engaging with anti’s who can’t actually discuss the ban because they didn’t get to go to the GDKP run or smth.

You literally argue like an anti-warrior player. Reed stolen in a pug in 2019 for a warriors dflask set and now you’ll spend the rest of your life being irrationally angry.

I wish we could have a real discussion on GDKP and the ban but no, everyone who comes in here wants to just attack those in favor of GDKP, the same way you losers have behaved for literal months now.

Well I’m not ignoring you because you changed your hat to prove you’re in game some of the time.

Also how does allowing paid runs fix the catastrophe? I mean I try to follow these threads but paid runs do nothing? but they will fix the catastrophe? I dunno man

It’s not about “fixing” anything. The ban didn’t do anything because the RMTers are going to RMT anyway. The ONLY real argument they have for the ban is that it reduces the number of gold trades on logs. WHICH I ALREADY SAID. But they aren’t banning RMTers. They give them a 2 week suspension and so RMTers have no reason to stop RMTing. Creating more demand for RMT/botted gold because “literally everyone else is and they don’t even lose their account for doing it”.

Maybe if you’d ACTUALLY READ, you’d see that I’m arguing for blizzard to actually come through and enforce their EULA. So then we can see if GDKP banned is better than it not being banned. But you won’t. And they won’t. So instead you have an unplayable game flooded with more RMT than we’ve ever seen.

But GDKP banned. You put a band-aid over the gunshot wound. There’s only 20 more but it’ll be fine.

See again with the wishy washy, The economy is terrible and all they did was ban paid runs, they aren’t punishing people enough etc etc

but the implication is that paid runs helped with these things in someway but the link is hard to articulate,

people have made arguments that paid runs increase gold selling and buying and are supported by bots and scripts,

what are the benefits of paid runs for the economy at large? what is that link? because I don’t see any argument for its return other than it is a lesser evil to big rmt daddy even if it is a lesser imp or demon?

that don’t make no kind of sense

I’m gonna just assume I’m ignored really anyway though and log in, I gotta farm firewater to look big in the next raid, so peaceful in winterspring

I’m not qualified to make an argument on the impact of GDKP on the economy. But I have 2 eyes, a functioning brain (a little broken thanks to being audhd but that’s fine), and some pattern recognition.

SoD’s economy would be just as bad as the fresh economy currently is if they didn’t put in so many QoL fixes to pump up crafting. You get high level materials from reals boxes (literally just run dungeons and you can get free end game mats). You get more herbs from nodes in the world. You get more potions/flasks/elixirs from alchemists crafting keeping the costs lower. All of this and more was REQUIRED to keep SoD’s economy in line.

I don’t know if I’d call that a coincidence that the two server types with GDKP’s banned needed external support to keep prices down but it sure is suspicious. Maybe someone with an actual education in economics would like to explain why GDKP didn’t cause price issues on any other servers? I mean I never had issues affording anything from 2019->present on any other server. Without blizzard having to go out of their way to QoL fix materials/crafting. Well, technically not entirely true, I couldn’t afford flasks in 2019 before the lotus fix then but I play a class that doesn’t need a flask so I didn’t care that I couldn’t afford one. And I probably still could have but why spend the time grinding gold for something you don’t need eh?

Paid runs are something different than GDKP.
