Real talk on "banning" a playstyle

We’ll talk in three months then i’ll explain the difference between Micro and Macro economics and how closed systems operate.

Loot council is worse then rogues, because it is like a group of rogues.

It’s a loot distribution system.

I watched the relevant part of this linked video, because of this comment, and I’m not disappointed, so thanks for sharing Draug :slight_smile:

has it?

I’ve done GDKP for the last several years and you a non-GDKP raider appears to know more about illicit gold selling prices than me.

Kind of interesting. A dev should look into your account.

Fair.

My driving style is drunk

Ah yes, the ubiquitous microeconomic principle of inflation of goods and services in the broader economy.

Like where do you clowns come from?

Is there like a circus with a free-to-use Internet cafe and wow forums set as the homepage on all the machines or something?

Yup.

Reading is fundamental.

Go ahead and report me, no skin off my nose.

My only ingame discipline in almost 20 years was a 24 hour squelch for telling dad jokes in trade.

None of these are even remotely as easy to farm compared to raw gold.

The staff in BFD is going for 2,000 stacks of linen cloth.

(They think they’re going to keep buying gold from the botters and using it to buy crafting mats on the AH to confuse Blizz. I surely hope Blizz’s new detection software works as well as they say it does.)

In the real world Inflation is interdependent on elements from Macro and Micro economics. The dependencies from the Macroeconomic side are what is missing inside the World of Warcraft economy. But you knew that right? You economic genius you. I don’t need to tell you something that basic do I?

You’ve conflated closed economic systems with microeconomics twice now. All economic systems are closed if you zoom out far enough. Furthermore, ALL macroeconomic phenomena are interdependent with underlying microeconomic factors.

What you’re suggesting would be analogous to claiming that because the few functioning brain cells in your head are dependent on principles of molecular biology in order to occasionally fire, what little cognition is occurring cannot be considered to fall under the more general categorization of “biology” or “human physiology,” etc.

Get rekt, bro. :clown_face:

Guess I’ll talk to you again in 3 months. :joy::joy::joy:

ur playstyle is banned get over it

I like how people keep posting about potential loopholes for gdkp before they make the rule list official.

The shock when your examples will be on the list of banned activities.

RMT is a play style?

The majority of end phases/xpacs gdkp’s = top guilds carrying swifter casuals, that don’t have time/patience to farm raids, or that don’t find/are accepted in a guild.
This idea of banning gdkp’s = hurting no casuals is ludicrous.

There’s an huge difference between rmt’ing for mats/consumables, even for black lotus, flasks or arcanes and the direct purchasing of end game gear. People won’t invest the same amount of real money in consumables vs bis gear, only a dishonest person would think the contrary.

Besides, if you just rmt your way through consumables, (which is still reprehensible), you still have to raid to get your end game gear, while with gdkp’s, you just have to use your card, bid and voila!

Gdkp’s are not a loot system, gdkp’s are a direct doorway to p2w, which promotes in game elitism and trivializes end game content

It’s done. Time to move on.

has anyone ever actually shown the numbers that GDKP had?

.how many people bought gold for GDKP?
.how much gold did they buy?
.was RMT a massive, far reaching thing that most players did, or was it a smaller group of whales doing the bulk of it?
.how much “damage” did this actually do to the economy? on living flame consumes are like 20S. How is that ruined?
