Everyone needs gold. Not everyone needs to trade gold from one version of the game to the other. That should be banned, flat out.
I know you’re completely tilted you can’t just buy your gear like a little whale, but the GDKP ban is good for the game, reduces RMT, reduces botting. And the swipers whining about being banned can get bent.

No, I won’t be posting those sites on the WoW forums. 
because you are completely making it up.
Bots are there to sell gold.
They dont make money trading 500g for 500g.

If you think I’m getting mad, you know absolutely nothing about me. I’m beaming right now. The seething of whales is really, really funny.
And what question? You keep saying this. There hasn’t been a question. Or one that can even be answered. What do you want? Peoples’ credit card statements showing they bought gold? I know your tactics. You ask questions you know can’t be answered.
the question is how does trading gold = rmt as you claimed.
You said trading gold creates rmt, you have yet to explain the mechanism behind this

I’ve said it about 5 times now. It creates a demand for gold. That demand is met by bots.

You answered your own question. There’s significantly less gold traffic/transactions so it makes the remainders easier to parse/flag/investigate.
There were thousands of transactions every hour with GDKPs, a lot of them likely legitimate (as in legit from both the buyer/seller of GDKP items). Now all those transactions are gone. Making it easier to spot the bad actors. Aka they’re less ‘obfuscated’.
Edit: GDKPs were used to launder gold but ALSO buried illicit transactions in hundreds of thousands of general transactions.

trading gold creates a demand for gold?
okay, let me help you out
When player A trades wrath gold to player B for sod gold, where does player c (the bot) come into play?

Every single person I’ve ever known that actually got a ban on WoW, temp or otherwise, has eventually admitted that they did in fact know what they got banned for and that it was bannable. They almost all claimed innocence at first too, but the only people I believe when they tell me they haven’t done anything ban worthy are the ones who haven’t caught bans. In general it’s fair play to assume the company is in the wrong on most things, but when it comes to this, nah I doubt any were legit and got banned accidentally.

Don’t forget account theft is also a source of gold for sellers. I was a victim of that in Cata. Everything on my Alliance characters was vendored, and my Horde paladin was used to farm Black Temple for hours on end. Fortunately Blizzard was able to restore all my items and even let me keep everything the bots had farmed.
You can’t be serious right? Ok, I guess that character of yours will have to go on Ignore too. Until you break out another alt.
It’s transferring gold from one version of the game to another. Do you really think players can naturally generate the same amount of gold in Vanilla that they can in Wrath? SoD is a botting fiesta to make that kind of gold.
By the way, you can try to change this subject all you want…I’m familiar with that tactic too. And GDKPs will remain banned, and hopefully that ban gets extended.

changing the subject
I am happy to have this conversation posted so everyone can see you dont know what youre saying
you blocked me i win. LOL
player A - has wrath gold
player A trades wrath gold to player B
player B has sod gold
(Zaalg attempts to insert player C within this transaction, but fails to do so) (Zaalg does not realize it is not a 1:1 ratio for gold. he thinks trading 10k wrath gold = 10k sod gold, this dude is a newb)
Enjoy reading everyone!

I got hacked way back in…I think original TBC. Or maybe it was Wrath. I didn’t have an authenticator yet. And that’s primarily how bots back then made the money. Now they’ve found ways to create accounts for dirt cheap and it’s not even worth hacking accounts.
As far as the farming, their programs are sophisticated. But it’s nice to see Blizz finally doing something about it. We can see the impact already. Just look at these whales freaking out. And the bans too. I have to actually give Blizz some credit.

Guess the only way we know is from those who have gotten suspensions reversed.
That’s something that happens.
