So how exactly is GDKP banned?

[Äbstinence-aggramar]

Blizzard sells gold. They want GDKP around in all versions with the token.

If GDKP was allowed in fresh hundreds of thousands of gold would not be getting exchanged. It takes years for that much gold to be regularly flowing around in the economy.

It will grow for the game’s entire lifespan and includes a market of nearly everyone in the game.

@Alsharptusk-fairbanks

Early game a pair of edge master’s handguards will be more expensive than anything that would be selling in an MC GDKP save thunderfury bindings.

And will decrease everyday for the game’s entire lifespan and includes a market of one class.

@Alsharptusk-fairbanks

It’s a perfectly valid point.

It is perhaps the dumbest point ever contributed to this topic, which makes it easy to not take you seriously.

@Petdetective-pagle

No. BiS gear never drops in price unless there is deflation. And it’s for warriors. That’s not just “one class” in vanilla. That’s THE class.

Your unwillingness to accept it doesn’t make it dumb. It just means you don’t want to accept it.

@Dorfpriest-living-flame

Well yea, it’s a known thing that the four people who want GDKP in the game sock puppet for it to make it seem like there’s an outcry for it.

You have a mental condition. Seek help.

[Chislev-defias-pillager]

If it wasn’t for rmt, gdkp’s wouldn’t even be a thing.

[Kendaltrennr-barthilas]

Wrong, gold is gold. Doesn’t matter where it came from, it’s stil a currency.

[Velurm-nightslayer]

But if GDKP pots were 300g due to the lack of RMT, they would cease being a thing.

[Skymindx-skull-rock]

a 300 gold pot split up is more than youre getting in an sr pug. so no, incorrect

[Kendaltrennr-barthilas]

Wrong, it’s all relative.

Do you have any data to back this up or is this just how you feel?

@Alsharptusk-fairbanks

And it’s for warriors. That’s not just “one class” in vanilla. That’s THE class.

It’s one class out of many. Please learn to count.

@Alsharptusk-fairbanks

Your unwillingness to accept it doesn’t make it dumb.

Right, it’s dumbness makes it dumb lol. Me accepting it or not has zero bearing on that. It is objectively just a stupid statement that defies logic which is why Blizzard is comfortable enough to ignore you.

[Alsharptusk-fairbanks]

@Petdetective-pagle

Do you have any data to back this up or is this just how you feel?

I could ask you the same. But check the AH on Era and on fresh. Let me know which one is more and what the difference is.

@Petdetective-pagle

It’s one class out of many. Please learn to count.

The cost of gearing different classes is not equal. You know it. I know it. Let’s not pretend otherwise. Warrior is by far the most expensive class. Don’t be disingenuous.

[Vampt-crusader-strike]

@Malsidious-dreamscythe

No! The majority of the players hate GDKP intensely.

False, that is inaccurate and a blatantly made up statistic that is wrong.

[Kelger-pagle]

Read the room better. A lot of people in general dont like GDKP because its Pay to Win.

[Cheery-argent-dawn]

If the majority of players prefer not to do gdkp, it should be no issue for them to form raids of just non-gdkp people

The only reason to ban it is if gdkp is more popular, or they’re about the same.

[Kendaltrennr-barthilas]

So don’t join GDKPs and do other raids.

Pay to win doesn’t apply when you all have access to the same loot with or without “paying”.

[Göozfraba-benediction]

naw, GDKP ruined classic. far beyond a degree you will never comprehend.

[Bravado-emerald-dream (Bravado)]

They could block gold trading in raids and soulbound all drops after 5 minutes.

[Kendaltrennr-barthilas]

Care to elaborate?

[Kelger-pagle]

Part of the reason of the GDKP ban is to prevent it being from popularized and be the set standard.

You can try to twist it however you want but people running Pay to Win runs is still Pay to Win. And people dont really want the few Classic servers that lack the monetization to ruin the integrity

[Nosorry-benediction]

“hOw DoEs iT aFfEcT yOu???”

^ Anyone who uses this argument is straight up an Basshat arguing in bad faith.

It seems a large portion of the current WoW playerbase thinks it is 100% OK to cheat in a multiplayer game.

To them, if they swipe their credit card to cheat in the game and get all the best gear, they think that’s totally fine and not something anyone should be upset about.

They’ll tell you just worry about yourself, don’t worry about how they’re cheating, and they don’t even see paying real money for gold, and then buying items with that RMT gold, they don’t think that’s cheating or wrong at all in their minds.

There’s not much you can do to convince people who just think it’s OK to cheat and pay real money for advantages in an MMORPG.

They just want to pay for the status to make themselves feel better than other players, without actually having to play the game to attain the gear or the accomplishments.
