Mass reported for gdkp advertising

[Dovahkîn-sargeras]

agreed so much!

[Noxranna-bloodsail-buccaneers]

OP asks questions, responders jump down their throat because “GDKP bad”, OP, rightfully upset, starts to clap back, responders switch to “see we knew you deserve the ban by your attitude”

anyone?

@Goog-atiesh

are gdkps against TOS?

Not against the EULA as far as I can tell.

@Goog-atiesh

why is this happening

I would guess that it may have to do with being reported enough times to hit some automation thresholds, and then potentially being human reviewed and found to have participated in what may technically be against the supported chat-channel use cases.

Here’s a thread from the Customer Support forums that may have some information or links to information that you may find enlightening:

@Axxo-skyfury

I’ve been posting a recruitment message for a GDKP-focused guild/raiding team in /LookingForGroup chat and have received a Behavior Warning. Apparently several people have reported me for posting this.

@Leilleath-moon-guard

LFG is for forming groups to run things in the right then and there. It is not meant for advertising, be it guild adverts or GDKP or anything else. People have absolutely been getting silenced or even suspended for using the channel for anything but forming groups because it was never meant to be a global Trade chat.

@Axxo-skyfury

I have since received a temporary chat and mail suspension.

[Yoggsothoth-lone-wolf]

Considering the person selling those runs is fly hacking, and usually a bot. It’s totally the same as gdkp.

[Partyrock-skull-rock]

whatever you say, gold buyer

[Deunan-atiesh]

Another thing to watch for, as prior to the new year there were some CS posts on this, is to make sure as best you can that there is nobody adding RMT gold to any payout. They have been hitting people for receiving RMT based gold in GDKPs. Run with trusted people whenever possible.

Obviously not saying that you did anything yourself RMT related.

[Noxranna-bloodsail-buccaneers]

So that’s a no on the popcorn, then?

@Glinda-lava-lash

I knew this was bait.

2/10 low effort bait

Your post is #112 in the thread.

Your post is #112 in the thread.

what, you think I can read or something?

@Byyp-ashkandi

you think I can read or something?

I think you like bait just as much as the rest of us.

[Beanzey-crusader-strike]

I report every GDKP I see advertised.

[Wardrink-emerald-dream]

How much gold was it? This will tell everyone everything they need to know.

[Sodsuckx-crusader-strike]

Classic players hate GDKPs. You deserve this.

[Dorfvenn-lone-wolf]

No gdkps are totally kosher. I do think it’s kinda funny that these morons think Blizzard will ban GDKPs when Blizzard won’t even ban them for abusing the reporting system which is actually against the rules. But I bet these same people think irony comes from ore nodes.

[Calignos-perenolde]

I’ll happily go out of my way to report hack GDKP folks, only just to see them tear up on the forums for not getting the message that they’re not welcome.

[Sometroll-wild-growth]

Imagine thinking spending 300+ gold on a blue that sells for maybe 50s is not encouraging RMT.
OP is crazy.

[Rogonoth-bleeding-hollow]

GDKP is just the ToS valid way of laundering RMT gold purchases. Change my mind.

[Sodsuckx-crusader-strike]

Why change your mind when you are correct.

[Deebó-stormrage]

Depends, if its an average player like most of us, then yes we can get banned.

If it’s a Streamer like Sodapoppin, then you can buy gold and nothing happens. Even if you tell everyone you bought gold, as long as you’re a streamer or someone important, then you can do whatever you want without fear of consequences
