which would be absolutely fine if buying those points with dollars was a not an easy and readily available thing, because if you can then the bots flood the server to generate the gold for the whales to buy, and the price of materials drops so low/payouts become so high when items that are bis for a long time start getting involved it makes doing anything else for gold pointless.
this is what we mean by GDKP harming the game for everyone who does not wish to interact with that p2w system.
no RMT = GDKP not a problem
RMT = GDKP is a problem
I was on a loot council years ago. I was very unbiased hell I usually voted against myself getting the gear even if rest of raid wanted me to get it lol. You can be unbiased not saying itâs common though esp with humanity being in the mix. And honestly removing gdkp isnât gonna effect 90% of the playerbase. Lol so the supposed vocal minority is bs lol
âlater raidsâ being the key word here so like AQ40 / naxx (sometimes even progression mc /bwl) one should bring 5-10 of multiple dps consumes, 2 flasks, 5-10 resistance potions, grenades, sappers, sharpening stones / weapon oil, full wb (which is free but takes time unless you pay for DMT) - at that point you easily have 1000+gold of consumes in the bags
sorry i was speaking to the price of current gdkp items on average
with your reply⊠i couldnt agree more⊠all those consumes take ALOT of gold to keep up with and will be a HUGE source of RMT⊠WAY more than a GDKP
i would argue that GDKPs would help lower RMT as people will simply go to GDKP runs with their alts to make their gold to purchase their consumes⊠but logic and foresight= hard for many it seems
People who are vouching for GDKPâs on the forums are just trying to fear monger because theyâre scared of not having them anymore and are trying to convince others who want it gone that we actually need it. Let them squirm
Blizzard included banning gdkp to help with building traditional guilds. If they want ppl to do traditional guilds and not pug, they should maybe not do 10 mans for 2 phases. 10 mans kill guilds more than anything. Weâre in constant recruitment mode because everyoneâs bored to tears with 10 man casual content. No reason to stick around.
GDKP allows for ppl to slot in and fit in when people disappear. Itâs early in SOD so the roster boss already existing is bad for the longevity of the game. If they want guilds to form, give them something more to form around. A real raid experience, or faster phases to get to them. Else give people the freedom to have good pugâs through gdkp till theyâre ready to ACTUALLY focus on being guildsâŠ
Most people bidding are buying gold with rtm. Supportting botters. Same botter jack the prices up in the AH so people have to buy gold to be able to afford anything.
People who rtm/gdkp/botters⊠all of it is bad for the health of the game.
could you please show me where you are pulling your numbers from to be able to assert most people who run in GDKP RMT? I havent seen blizzard release any internal data yet so a link would be great⊠or are you simply acting as if assuming and speculations = Fact?
