[Poem] Bots/Inflation/GDKP

Don’t bother arguing with people who defend GDKP on the forums, it is not worth the time and effort, trust me. I guess drink forgot our conversation on this the other day where I finally got it through their head.

For the idiots, here is the simplest way to write this so your puny brains can understand: More money in circulation, higher prices.

For those of you who aren’t as dumb as Fonze and Drinknblink: If the supply of gold grows faster then the real economy can produce, prices will artificially increase due to more gold being in circulation. It does not have to effect every single individual market, it will effect the overall market.

This is basic economics that you can google not even mentioning what will be taught to you in an economics course. Arguing against very basic econ is legitimately brain dead.

I provided analysis from the Federal Reserve countering the idea that simply accounting for money supply will let one perfectly predict inflation

Interesting that you would then take the tact that we aren’t able to grasp economics

That’s funny, because if you had actually looked at the Federal Reserve website you would also see where they say that, generally, increasing the supply of money in an economy will cause inflation, what cannot be precisely predicted is the degree of inflation, they also will try to strategically determine when they add money to the economy so as to best prevent runaway inflation. But keep trying to make disingenuous arguments.

And yet it didn’t.

Theories are wonderful and all, but it doesn’t mean anything when reality happens anyway.

You should know then since you have the Federal Reserve’s website memorized, that there are other market forces contributing to inflation

Simply looking at money supply isn’t enough

And in the end, none of the theories prove whether inflation exists or not

So what are you even trying to prove here? Are you saying inflation in SOD exists?

But what you’re saying doesn’t make sense because by the time the gold is being spent into a gdkp it was already put into the system.

Meaning the gold already cause inflation before the gdkp even took place.

Before the raid even occurred the inflation was already there.

I don’t have a BA in economics, so OP can you please give me a quick explination on how each of these effect the WOW economy?

You are ignoring the incentive aspect of creating gold into the economy that was not there, for every person who decides to buy gold, that is more gold that the illicit money printers will farm in the future.

Imagine people printing counterfeit bills, they only make a few because they are only making them for themselves, but if it goes undetected they might decide to make more and sell it to others, the bigger their illegal market gets, the more money they introduce to the economy, creating a feedback loop. Just because it existed already does not mean that it does not cause inflation, you are looking at this from too narrow a viewpoint.

You guys are essentially arguing with flat Earthers. Both in how absurd and disproven what they claim is, and how fervently they’ll continue to argue.

But this is how whales are. They’ll never acknowledge the negative impact bots and gold buying (which are directly linked to GDKPs) have on the game.

They concoct the most ridiculous arguments, ignoring every fact of reality. I’m just watching and laughing.

No we are all laughing at the fact that the thing being blamed is something that doesn’t inject gold into the economy and how you’re all trying to say it causes inflation.

You want to warrior for something let’s talk about how blizzard is trash at banning bots and gold buyers.

I’m sure the 1900 layoffs are helping!

This is pretty simple and points to my other point.

There is real life consequences for counterfeiting meaning if you get caught you go to jail.

Does that happen to bots or rmt?

This all literally circles back to Blizzard being bad.

Again, you are either actually ignorant, or just looking at this whole thing from a hyper narrow viewpoint, you are missing the forest for the trees.

Sorry it’s hard to hear you over all these low AH prices

I’ve had that troll Drink on Ignore for months now, but couldn’t resist reading that post. Low AH prices on megaservers full of bots and gold buying whale GDKPers? :rofl:

Literally the opposite of reality. They just say nonsense with a straight face.

Yea that’s literally the reality

Ah prices are lower than any other version of the game on Benediction and it has trillions of gold on it, sorry this doesn’t line up with your narrative

You can literally log into the server for free.

Go check the AH out

Glad you finally admit increased gold supply causes increases inflation, but hey, this is why no one respects you because you’ll say anything in an attempt to win an argument, even lie in the same thread. :laughing:

Either way, game over for you. Move along.

Here i actually found an AH website for SOD that uses TSM.

You see how mana potion retained its value? Because they cant be crafted so bots arent as effective at farming them.

Notice how the items that can have bots farm the materials to craft them are dropping in price over the entire duration of SOD?

There are more variables than you are willing to acknowledge. A lot of consumables decrease in price late in phase since people simply don’t need all of them. Bots can affect prices of steady demand items because their owners buy up market and re-list them. I’ve seen this on numerous items.

Again, you are either incredibly ignorant to economics, wow bots and RTM, or lying so pick one.

What would i be lying about?

Im the only 1 providing data.

You don’t know how statistics works. You give 3 items out of the thousands for sale and that’s proof? Haha

Name how many you want me to link?

This is ez for me, youre wrong with evidence.
