Reconsidering the Ban on GDKPs in Classic WoW

You ranked 20 years ago. The game has evolved a lot since, and it continues to evolve.

No one said it had to do with skill. If you’ve ranked at any time since Classic released you would have a lot more knowledge on the game, which you clearly don’t

You need to watch clips of me play because you don’t play the game at all yet act like you know what you’re talking about lmao.

No because sitting here arguing about verbiage is the stupidest thing ever it has nothing to do with skill you knowing verbiage literally means nothing.

I want you to show me skill.

Like calling the ramp to the roof banana isn’t some high skill thing you’re confusing verbiage with skill they’re not the same thing.

SHOW ME SOMETHING

I never said it had anything to do with skill. I’ve said for years that vanilla is knowledge based, not skill based. Knowing what items in the game and when to use them, or how to play the WSG map is about KNOWLEDGE. Something you DON’T HAVE, because you DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

What does this conversation have to do with GDKP?

Don’t get me wrong…I enjoy watching Drinknblink get schooled, but it feels like you’ve veered quite off-topic.

Absolutely nothing, but these forums aren’t monitored at all by real humans so c’est la vie.

I’m not getting schooled.

Dude can’t even show a clip of him, notice how all you rats just hide rofl

GDKPs enable us to buy pvp consumes, vanilla is a pvp game, thus we begun talking about pvp :stuck_out_tongue:

So you’re not good you just use buzz words like banana in wsg when you’re defending the ramp up to the roof, that’s what I thought

Keep hiding poser, you’re trash

Taken out of context this is funny.

Calling it ramp to roof while calling me a poser HAHAHAHAHA

In context it’s hilarious. It’s not a buzzword, it’s just a callout lol. People have had call outs for map locations since Quake.

Changing my toon doesn’t change the question, so why can’t you answer it?

GDKP is like communism: it sounds great in theory, but in practice it really sucks.

In theory, everyone has something to gain from attending a GDKP raid - from the fresh 60 in blues ready to bid on some cheap upgrades in MC, to the decked-out veteran raider who wants cash for a higher raid or an expensive BoE on the AH.

In practice, the people who run these things group everyone into two categories: carry, or buyer. If you don’t have gear you cannot be a carry. If you don’t have cash, you cannot be a buyer. They then set a minimum bid on all items, for example 300g for blues and 600g for purples. Don’t have that much gold yet? Well, you can’t obtain it by running GDKPs unless you’re already geared, so your options to gear up are to farm obscene amounts of gold for hours a day, or just swipe your credit card on an RMT site. Coincidentally, a lot of the people who run GDKPs happen to be involved in RMT on the supply-side.

And that’s the issue that caused Blizzard to ban GDKP. It is inextricably linked to RMT.

Everything with gold is…

Nah there are some self found characters out there.

I mean I doubt any of the anti GDKP whiners has actually never used the AH or traded with another player but technically you can have gold without it being RMT tainted.

How so?

Bots keep your prices down by over supplying everything on the ah.

I know how much you love those bots!

Have you considered GDKPs are a pug system that perhaps isn’t the best for gearing your main.

But it is amazing for running as a carry or gearing alts.

Oh yeah bots were so fun back in 2019-2020 when they mass reported you for even stepping in their territory. /Sarcasm

Also flasks were absurdly expensive because the bots controlled that market and there was no real competition they set the prices.
