Gold farmers will always find a way. Imagine your normal working wage was $1 a week and now your earning $100 a day, at all costs you would be finding ways to get around the system.
It is the same with scams you basically cant ever fix it you just have to remedy it which is the reason why gdkps were banned and they made their new ah system.
No, they dont have any devs tracking stuff. They probably have an automative system that flags an X amount of gold being xfered. If they have devs tracking stuff you can probably say around 90% prevent gold selling/buying.
And the punishment should be enough to scare the hell out of people.
The punishment atm is 1st 7 days 2nd 1 month 3rd perm. I dont think you realise how many people who donāt buy gold would be banned even with a dev watching, these gold farmers/sellers/botters are generally extremely intelligent people from third world countries that found a way to make 3000% of their wage and upwards of 10000-20000%, the equiv in us would be earning 600-700dollars an hour when u would usually be earning 2 dollars an hour.
If you think after awhile these people would be basically impossible to stop then you just donāt understand enough to ever get rid of this type of thing.
How you figure? if a human is watching and investigating and has the proof (logs, everything can be traced). Then ban the hell out of everyoneā¦ if you mean ābut I joined a gdkp and gold was pass out at the end, I didnt now it was brought goldā. NOpe, you should be ban still.
my man thats what is happening right now, instead of banning 3/4 of the playerbase because they didnt know they were in a gdkp with gold a buyer they just removed the rng and removed gdkps. If your in a gdkp with an entire guild you know its just a guild run.
I dont what ur taking aboutā¦ I havent been involve or seen any gdkps in sod. I pug alot on both alliance and horde. There is absolutely zero gold being passed. As a matter of fact last night one of our new members ask and 24 other people immediately responded āno, you can get banned for thatā.
I think you are thinking about Era. No one gives a damn about Eraā¦ lol
You seem to be confused and have lost track of the conversation twice now.
The conversation was about gdkps and the loss of people due to it. My response was that I like gdkps but theres no way of banning gold buyers due to how much money they can launder, which you said you could fix that and i told you cant due to the laundering.
At no point did I say anything about NOW on sod or ERA or anything.
I disagree that it canāt be monitored it would just take too much manpower to track the gold movement. Something blizzard doesnt want to spend money on.
My friend trillion dollar government schemes cant even stop drug money being moved between countries and laundered let alone something worth far more to people who have no money for a game that makes hardly anything.
There were gms in person banning people during anniversary realms at the start and gold was 3 dollars 100 the first day.
/smh
10chars.
go buy those 5000g new trinkets for your alts problem solved
itās probably like 95% buy gold and 5% donāt. Thatās the issue. They would have to ban everyone.
Its never really like this, its the same as freemium gaming where whales (probs 5-10%) of the population hold 90% of the wealth bought while most other people dont. However it is such a huge amount that it basically adds millions and millions of bought gold to the economy.
Account wide rep would also be excellent but I need a way to gear up alts in an enjoyable manner. Right now, there is no way to do that unless you are part of a large guild who runs multiple raids for alts which I donāt think exists in SOD
What server are you on? My guild run and been recruiting people to finish out SOD and barely get messaged
I have about 90g at a time because I am farming WB consumes for the guild. And dealing with ninja looters like Bennz (screens on CS discord). But good for you that was a good start that payed out well. Maybe you can start a philanthropy streak.
V me 5000 gold so i know u really have the gold. 
So this is a good summary right?
Join a guild that runs raids? Ive taken my rat alts into MC in horrible gear and been geared out enough to get by in a week or two.
We donāt want GDKP. Go away.
