if you don’t have a guild already you are also playing slots in the hopes that loot isn’t going to all the GM’s friends. I already have one thankfully, searching for a good one is a massive gamble.
As evidenced by the overwhelming sigh of relief that GDKP won’t exist?
That’s fine, I prefer you have to jump through the hoops than to ruin the game for me with your RMT antics.
If you dont like gold buying, then dont buy it? Let people play how they want!
Thats how stupid you sound
Uhm little bro those are my words not blizzards. Yall are still ignoring what blizzard stated.
And what i stated is still facts
Do you think people still buy gold now?
-because you literally dont need to RMT gold. the cost of consumables isnt being inflated in a non-gdkp system because its at relative to the playerbase size in market equilibrium. what little RMT is occuring isnt having a large effect on the economy. In a gdkp system the cost of BoP items is the limiting factor driving the influx of RMT and bots generating excess gold not the cost of consumables. purchasing of consumables is the excuse gdkp “carries” use as the reason they gdkp. the ban counters that argument because consumable costs are lower in a nongdkp system which has been proven in sod.
no my data points are every era server 1 year in with stable populations and SoM. im comparing 2024 sod to 2020 era between supposed closed system economies.
im aware of that and once the bulk of the population hits 60 and the influx of new players drys up the server will reach an equilibrium between supply and demand in terms of leveling greens. At the same time, it will reach an equilibrium for level 60 relevant items. atleast in a non-gdkp system for most goods. certain BoE items like lionhearts helm and devilsaur items i expect to be exceptions because of RMT targeting the AH. but that will be a lot less gold influx without every BoP item in the game being commoditize.
Has GDKP contributed? yes, definitely. But to what extent? significantly. we know this because the devs have given a hit that it has and thats the most youre going to get out of private company in terms of internal metrics and because blizzard got in on the game themselves via wow token in other forms of classic and retail. the demand for buy to win is clearly there and profitable. it’s just not healthy for the game.
This seems to be the MASSIVE misconception regarding gdkps, they dont inflate consume prices.
Not liking the loot system is fine but being wrong about what it does is not ok.
You sound mad no one will take your LFR hero status to a gdkp…
Maybe start using hotkeys and remove S as a movement key?
Because you’re dumb as crap lol. You also don’t see how changing specs mid fight could be exploited by some in pvp. Seems not understanding obvious things is kind of your shtick.
He basically said that the amount of gold on the server dictates the prices of consumes.
Except he and apparently you are wrong.
Benediction has 10s of MILLIONS of gold on it if not more, yet i pay 4g for a potion and 7-10g for a flask.
This fact literally contradicts what youre saying in every possible way.
Potions should be 400g and flasks should be 1,000g/ea.
They arent.
A single gdkp will net you over 30,000 gold btw.
You can’t even understand the basic concept of inflation.
Way to deflect because you dont understand whats happening.
Im repeating what HE said.
LMFAO
Supply and demand come into play also. More gold going around, more bots farming consumes to sell to all the cashed up rmt and gdkpers.
Wow no crap…
Like i have said…the thing that ACTUALLY dictates prices… supply/demand
Youre starting to catch on idoit.
it does it commoditizes BoP items which are essentially all of the 60+ experience. which then in turn creates an additional black market for Botting/RMT which artificially increases gold supply which impacts the pricing of consumes due to a relatively static supply and demand.
It commoditizes it for those who GDKP.
You don’t like GDKP, don’t go GDKP.
But gdkps DONT increase the price of consumes, we can look at actual current live servers like Benediction.
Do you realize how much gold is in circulation on Benediction?
Why am i not paying 1000g per potion and flask??
Im paying PENNIES LITERALLY for consumes.
Youre 100% wrong.
the black market economy impacts the rest of the game. i went a step further and quit era altogether
Items that arent over bot farmed to counter the inflation are over priced though, so while your simple example may be true the grand picture of the economy of the server is worse.
