Feedback from who? GDKP complainers on the forums? None of the GDKP players were voicing feedback in the weeks leading up to this decision. We were all playing the game instead of complaining about a symptom of a botting problem.
This is why I’m saying they never asked for feedback.
The only tantrums are the 20 trolls I’ve been fighting off for 5 days now, yourself included.
From people that can communicate a coherent thought. That’s why they’ve decided to support one side.
Arguments and points you are incapable of refuting =/= tantrums.
Have you seen the posts in this thread? Give it a scroll mate
Its true that its popular… but I want to establish a point here.
A flaw in GDKPs here is that it can be susceptible to gold buying, if gold buying is enforced with 6 month or permanent suspensions, it wouldn’t be a problem but this is Blizzard were are talking about and I have said in my previous post, a couple of higher ups would rather invest into something that makes them money then invest into a team that crack downs on gold buying and doesn’t make them money. The only option here is to axe GDKPs.
To be honest with you, I dont think banning GDKPs is going to cause a mass exodus of players as much as you think it will, the game has survived without it a couple times throughout its life.
How does banning GDKP make them money?
Yes, that’s why I have clarified for you that the arguments that destroy your stance are not tantrums. You being unable to refute something is not a tantrum.
I’ve seen the posts in this thread. I’ve taken note of your penchant for bemoaning attacks against you or your guild, when you’ve also thrown around more than a few jabs at people and their guilds.
If you want to be taken seriously, don’t hypocritically bemoan attacks while throwing them out yourself.
And that’s not even a criticism of your attempts to present your fevered defense of GDKP runs as somehow indicating a greater support of them within the community en large.
The “radio silence” would be a side effect of not needing to make any statements about it. No one is hounding blizzard devs for information about this.
You not expecting them to listen to feedback, after seeing a blue post blatantly stating they are going to listen to feedback, is weird. Perhaps you meant “listen but not make the changes I want them to make.” That doesn’t preclude anyone from listening to feedback. Or even taking it into consideration.
If you’re the best the GDKP’ers have to offer, you’ll need to do far better. (And before you get outraged at that, remember you’ve thrown quite a few barbs here yourself. I wouldn’t want you to be a hypocrite, after all)
That’s not what a strawman is, though. Attacking a strawman is to attack something that is not the point, but that you’ve constructed. More than 1 person here has explained why GDKP runs are problematic, and what they caused within era servers. Banning them isn’t a strawman at all. It’s one avenue blizzard has at their disposal to address the problems they see. Regardless of whether you think that problem is the money blizzard brings in, or the social fabric that GDKPs chip away at.
Disagreeing with the choice is one thing, but calling it “a strawman” as a way to avoid talking about the reasoning given, isnt a sign you’re doing well here.
Repeating something over and over doesn’t make it true it just makes you delusional. Everyone can see how indignant you act when you’re wrong.
I’ve been here defeating trolls and bad faith arguments like this one for a week. You simply saying it doesnt make it true.
Why dont you quote me doing this? The only jabs I’ve taken are at obviously troll posts, suggesting they post things with content. Distinctly different than the personal attacks people have made at me, highlighting their weak postions.
This thread has 10k views and in total my threads have 15k views, more than the GDKP post itself. And more engagement as well.
Attack the person not the idea. This is the same weak argument ive been defeating all week. If you want to debate come with an idea otherwise leave my thread. Im not attacking anyone unless they come here with 0 ideas and just personal attacks. And even then I’m only calling them out for the lack of substance.
This is a strawman.
The issue is bots and RMT. People on this forum have constructed a strawman in the form of an argument about GDKP. In reality, the issue isnt GDKP at all and remains bot and RMT. Instread of attacking the actual problem Blizzard is attacking GDKP and acting as if they have addressed the problem.
Textbook strawman.
Couldnt agree with this idea more. If only you posted anything to connect it to my words instead of ironically describing your own.
Avoid talking about the reason? Ive been very clear since the OP. What isnt clear is the substanceless posts from the same 20 trolls. Then after trolling for 2 days, declaring victory.
Anyone that has presented an argument has had a genuine response. Those that haven’t have been called out for trolling.
If they view that “solution” as an issue it most certainly is their job and the ToS states this.
They don’t have to do this, they already have approved loot systems in the game to use.
Hol’ up. I pointed out that you’ve thrown barbs. You asked me to quote it, then willfully admit you’ve done it? Why do I need to quote it,when you’ve admitted to doing it?
That’s still not what a strawman is. And yes. Thats the issue. Blizzards choice to combat RMT (which already is against TOS), is to ban an activity that blatantly promotes it.
So not a strawman at all. Just an action you disagree with.
