Request: Bring Back GDKP for Phase 3 (4 now)

Exactly, perfectly reasonable REQUEST.

You guys are ridiculously dogmatic toward Blizz. This game is built for the community. Blizzard serves us. This game is not “theirs”

And you choose to ignore one of the only factual data points we have by saying the overwhelming majority support your viewpoint. If that were true then GDKP wouldn’t dominate every version of classic wow. You ignore it because you’re clinging to the idea that sod is somehow different and hoping the nanny state gdkp ban remains.

Then maybe other loot systems should be better.

On one hand, I can go into a raid where I need maybe a couple of items that aren’t huge upgrades but would be nice to have, suffer through grey/green parsers griefing the raid with their own ignorance and lack of care for the team, spend my gold on consumables while they sandbag their unbuffed corpses throughout the fights, then watch the one or two items I need finally drop, only to roll a 7 and watch them take it away with a 86 roll. That’s only if the tank and healer duo combo don’t drop raid half way through because the tank only needed a boss in the middle, thus making the rest of the raid wait to fill, if possible to fill, gambling my lockout the entire time.

Or I can go into a raid where I know the players are vetted enough to be able to breath through their nose instead of their mouth, it’s clean, fast, and a full run with minimal gold loss to consumables and minimal time loss. I can guarantee the gear if it drops because I have a currency everyone wants, instead of relying on pure RNG, and I recoup the gold loss from my consumables, possibly even recouping the gold loss spent on the item, or, I just outright make a decent chunk of gold.

I wonder which raid system players like myself will gravitate towards. Maybe if pugs weren’t so brain damaged, players like myself wouldn’t loathe every second we’re in a non guild/non gdkp raid.

Why dont you quote me then?

Thank you

Quoted everything you have contributed to this discussion that wasn’t a blanket insult.

Now begone from me, you’re insanely tiresome and boring.

Still no quote. I accept your concession.

Makes sense it went over your head.

And im the one insulting? :joy:

Not surprised you cant respond to this

You do realise that you are the one whitout any data, right? lol.

Lone wolf the boosts and bots reduced greatly, it went form having hundreds at sfk entrance no literally none at best you can still find leveling ones.

Your post completely ignore the fact that GDKP increases the demand for gold tenfold compared to any other form of gold dumping, the biding for BiS items will always keep increasing whereas the epic mount will always be the same price.
Statical prices also tend to be less and less important as more gold enters the economy, they basically have a net zero yeld on inflation in the long term.
Basically you have limited knowledge about basic economy.

Oh, and by the way having positive effects in the short term tends to accumulate in the long term in case of RMTs

It skyrocket inflation to anyone whom is not doing gdkp.

Basically you are etiher forced to go into one or be suboptiomal/inexistent in the economy. considering the impossibility of 0 rmt, which no mmo has ever achieved.
It literally sucks all the game economy gold in itself.

Its a dead end.

Btw everybody is being extremely generous with the “no rmt at all” because your suggestion of completely banning all possible rmt is as possible as swiming towards the sun in the vacumn, so try to have an argument in actual reality intead of the elephants of no mass equivalents.

rmt will never go away but it’s effect can be greatly diminished by a series of models, gdkp whoever literally incentivize the entire gameplay to be about rmting.

The only data I have is from Nora Valletta who said in the interview that there is no data to back up any positive changes regarding the GDKP ban. Unless more data is given, none of us have anything to go on. But please continue with your “facts”

We do have something to go on though…they didn’t bring GDKP back this phase. If Blizz felt it would help their bottom line they’d shoot their grandma so not bringing it back is all you need to know.

I can also say that since there hasn’t been any indication that this experimental test is over, then it is still a test. These statements don’t have much value.

no its better without it

You’re playing a game where the economy literally has infinite growth. Gold literally appears out of thin air. Inflation will forever be an issue because gold is literally infinite.

But sure let’s discuss gdkps as if they’re in a non infinitely growing economy.

Why were you afraid to quote the rest?

Especially the second part…

Just say you want to take RMT gold. We all know that’s your agenda.

GDKPs are a reward and reason to continue doing content after you get geared. People got bored faster with P2 than they did with P1 despite being the quickest phase.

I’m fine with GDKPs coming back I’d just like them to be officially supported by Blizzard. With an in game UI that divides each winning bid evenly across the entire raid. The only issue I have with GDKP are scammers that will steal your lockout, get you to carry them, and then bounce with all the gold at the end.

people who felt “gatekept” from GDKPs will find any excuse to hate them and deem them cheating :roll_eyes:

literally never happened to me in all my time spent GDKPing. don’t know what groups you joined :expressionless: you should probably vet the raid leader better i dunno

Nope. No thanks. Hard pass.
