There is literally blizzard saying it’s a perfectly legal plot system.
Is LC built into the game??
Is SR built into the game??
Is +1 built into the game??
Is 1-2 HR built into the game?
You’re just 100% wrong and trying to save face.
Blizzard putting loot master into the game made these loot systems viable and it’s why blizzard put it into the game. So players had agency on how to handle loot in their raids.
Correct - any place you get RMT gold from can result in an account penalty. Do not engage in things that seem shady, or too good to be true. Buying gold from a detected seller account, is obviously a ban. However being a pass through can be too, esp if the account has a pattern of it. That can be the AH, GDKP raids, carry groups, anything really.
That’s not the same thing at all, you cannot choose who buys your item but with a GDKP you can. Why do people seem to use this Strawman argument any time you mention this?
Sadly that is not going to happen. No more than the local police telling you what price for a watch is too good to be true. They will only tell you to beware unofficial sales/trades and that there exists the possibility that it is stolen. You get caught with stolen property once, it might be an accident. A person who regularly has stolen property is usually penalized as being part of the operation, even if adjacent and not directly engaging in the theft.
If you’re avoiding group content due to being so risk averse that you have decided altogether that avoiding group play is the only way to keep your account safe (and this is the meaning I’m drawing from your post) it seems that you’ve hit a very sad place in game.
Personally targetting Mirasol for pointing you at Blue posts re: GDKP and correctly warning that suspensions have and are handed out in this context is foolish.
You’re probably an adult. In fact, I’d guess all of the players in this chat are adults. As an adult you can make a risk assessment here. Know who you are playing with and GDKP is not a super risk. It is still there. Now, invite those randoms, the ones vetted by showing how much gold they have available on the character, and maybe the risk increases. As an adult, you get decide if that multi-decade account is worth the risk. Some chose poorly, you do not have to.
How about we hold the people accountable who should actually be held accountable??
The damn company of the game.
Unless the players are skipping a way to prove with 100% certainty that a player buys gold and still groups with them in a gdkp this actually shows had bad of a company blizzard is.
It’s so bad the players think other paying customers should be held responsible for what other people do in a game they have no authority over.
The state of the game is sad, the player base is so used to being abused by blizzard this is what we do now.
How are you supposed to Vet people in a GDKP? I mean have the leader post a message that says “By clicking ready you agree all your gold is fairly gotten and not bought or otherwise gained in a manner that is against Blizzard’s ToS.” then do a ready check?
After all Clicking accept on terms and conditions seems to be enough for software companies.
Oh goodness. No I did not mean to give that impression. I don’t play group content for a ton of reasons, but account risk is not one of them. I have a whole huge post in the Council forum about wanting solo dungeons and content. Dungeon and Raid Solo Accessibility for Old & Current Content I have major anxiety and other issues. It has been more than 15 years since I have done group content and even then it was with people I knew IRL. They don’t play now. My risks are social, not account related. I am a bit of a hermit.
