I have a real job and my finances are none of your business. I have never bought gold in my life and my account is 20 years old. But I know RMT has existed since the beginning

Not all GDKPers are RMTers. But all RMTers are GDKPers. Furthermore, enough GDKPers are RMTers that banning GDKP puts a major roadblock up to prevent laundering all that RMT’d gold. Non-RMT GDKPers are an ultra minority that know exactly where the gold comes from and are content to look the other way as long as it benefits them. Boosting is another major front for RMT’d gold laundering and more people figure that out every minute which is why the push for anti-boosting measures grows daily.

You sure about that? I seriously doubt that’s true. I’m sure there are loads of people that RMT before they hit 60 and quit the game before they even have a chance to spend gold in a GDKP. Probably many more that RMT and don’t even do GDKPs. They just don’t want to work for consumables.

Blizzard doesn’t seem to think so. They didn’t list RMT as a reason for banning GDKP from fresh.

You just completely made that up. You have no idea what you’re talking about. You have no data. You have no way of knowing this. And I’d bet my Atiesh you’re wrong, at least on Era.

One hundred percent. And you know it too. That Atiesh youre so keen on betting likely cost you a couple hundred bucks buying the shards.

Answered your own question. Give it a shot though.

And what are you basing that certainty on? A feeling in your tum tum?

Didn’t get it in a GDKP :wink:

Nice try.

Im sure youd love to know so you can find ways to make this about me and not you.

but youre defending a pro gdkp stance, which automatically makes you ultra suspect given that gdkp and rmt have gone hand in hand. I wonder how far back wed have to look at your gold transaction history to start noticing nice neat bumps of 1000/2000/5000/10000 increments.

I unironically do not believe you for one second. The moment you defend RMT or GDKP in any capacity, for any reason, or those who partake in either, every piece of gear youve gotten at 60 becomes suspect. Especially when it comes to Legendaries.

According to you. So that holds about as much weight as a mouse in a hot air balloon.

This type of surgically specific and misleading statement betrays your true intentions. They didn’t have to, because RMT was listed as a reason for the original GDKP ban that was implemented in SoD. If it wasn’t effective, they wouldn’t keep doing it.

Empty accusations the best you can do? Just blaming people for things you literally know nothing about?

It’s so amusing to watch gold buying GDKP cucks attempt to condescend to other people while being so pissed off they can’t cheat in fresh.

They really do just always tell on themselves. Its hilarious.

I wonder if he’ll figure out the best course of action is to stop drawing attention to himself and fade away quietly?

Probably not, i expect a full on ego trip accompanied by gloating-but-not-gloating. They usually cant help themselves there either. And inevitably in doing so end up telling on themselves again.

Hell of a way to self report, trying to flex on a forum.

Oh it’s effective. It’s effective at keeping the mouth breathing masses convinced that Blizzard is actually doing something to combat RMT. They’re not. Gold selling sites have been selling gold to fresh players since day 1. It won’t stop because Blizzard is negligent. And the mouth breathers are praising them for their continued negligence.

So are they selling more gold or less gold after the GDKP ban?

There isnt you clown. Remember when they first banned gdkp? And people tried to get past it by not saying anything ingame and it was still easily detected, warnings and bans were issued. You act like its some hard thing to detect lol

Nah there isnt cornball. Its not hard to detect and it was proven when they first banned gdkp. People tried getting past it, it doesnt work

Just don’t raid with any anti-gdkp player and watch them squirm as they did in SoD

Unfortunately it hasnt stopped them completely. They just cut out the gold buying and went straight to paying “carry crews” for it. It goes down like a silent auction in game but in disc they either bid for it with actual money or have preset prices and FCFS.

Is this meant to imply that MS>OS and SR# runs just… dont exist?
