We are, sod forum is separate
They said in line with their sod policy.
What was that?
No wonder you need gdkps to pay for a game
Blizz just needs to start a POLL or survey.

“Policy: a course or principle of action adopted or proposed by a government, party, business, or individual.”
Where in that definition does it say anything about causes?
Make it make sense.
Linguistic expert by the way
What?
Their sod policy was to ban gdkps.
Their reasoning was it was filled with rmt. Not because it caused it. Not because it would reduce it.
Because it was riddled with it. And was an easy way for buyers and sellers to avoid detection.
So when they announced their plans for gdkps on anniversary, they said it was in line with their sod policy.
Which was to ban them because of said rmt problems, and social / guild structures.

True
Their reason was guild structures and RMT, then dropped the RMT later when SoD had the same RMT post ban.
You have no source for this, and obviously its still easy since theres been no drop in raiding pop on nightswiper.
This is correct
This is where you intentionally lie to bait for attention because you are lonely
GDKPs are riddled with RMT and a cause of them. It was used to launder gold as well. And also degrades the guild structure and social dynamic of the game.
It was banned for all those reasons. For both SoD and Anniversary.
Fixed it for you.
Since we have proved GDKP has nothing to do with RMT.
This is my favorite Zaalg quote

Where have you proved that?
The opposite is being proven with how many people are currently being caught for rmt

Thanks for once again agreeing than RMT is not caused by GDKP.

Gdkp 100% causes rmt. It’s not the only cause though

It’s crazy he’s still repeating that nonsense.
He’s really trying to make the argument that a loot system based on buying the best gear in the game with gold doesn’t encourage gold buying? 
Wow, that’s hilarious. He’s gone off the deep end.
Anyway yeah, GDKPs are not only connected to RMT…they rely on it. They wouldn’t exist without it. But obviously it’s not the only cause of it. And the ban obviously wouldn’t remove all rmt. The only people who’ve made that supposition are pro-GDKP trolls.
So you agree we should ban every thing RMT is used in.
Until blizzard is willing to fix the botting RMT,=.
No, but a system that encourages buying gold to get the best items I would definitely ban.

Yep we should ban the AH.
Oh yeah let’s ban the AH that you can buy 1-2 bis items from for 1 class for the whole of classic.
Meanwhile with gdkps its 17 x 9 per phase for only 1 spec each class. 153 items per phase if we only look at one spec each class 
If we only look at the major instance releases (MC/BWL/AQ/NAXX) that is 153 items x 4 = 612
612 items vs 1
Really comparable
He’s talking about banning the AH? That argument has been laughed off the forums. The AH doesn’t require RMT. GDKPs do.
Example. Let’s say a new server launches. Everyone even gets handed premade level 60s. Within the first hour the AH will be full. Obviously there’s no RMT going on yet. Simple supply and demand. GDKPs, on the other hand, would not be going on. They require that massive gold pot.
The AH is simply a method for people to spend gold. It doesn’t rely on it. And saying it ‘creates’ RMT isn’t correct either. Eventually are players buying gold because of AH prices? Sure, that’s because supply and demand gets inflated due to things like massive botting or server congestion. THOSE are the causes. Just like GDKP is a cause. The AH is not a cause. What happened when Blizz finally added Black Lotus to all herbs? The prices dropped and the need to buy gold plummet.
See how Blizz can actually impact those prices? They have no such way to manipulate what goes on in GDKPs. That’s just…greed. Greed from buying the best gear in the game. Good luck doing that in the AH, by the way. The best gear isn’t there. And the prices in a GDKP DWARF those on the AH. To compare the two is a joke.
But let’s just pretend AH was somehow banned. Players simply resort to trades. It’s more tedious, but that’s it. But that might actually raise the prices. GDKPs, on the other hand, being banned…what happens? Players go back to raiding with guilds and regular pugs. Nothing takes its place as a way to spend those thousands and thousands of gold. Sidenote: this is why people claiming banning them somehow increases RMT is laughably ludicrous.
I could go on and on. It’s a ridiculous argument trying to compare the AH to GDKPs. Just a silly strawman because they can’t actually defend GDKPs, so they try to make the topic about something else. The typical forum tactic of changing the subject and diverting attention from the actual matter at hand.
Worth a chuckle though.

Yeah, they care way too much about pixels that are never going to return for them
