This is the best part, infinite amusement for very little effort lol
There isn’t anything illegal about them, though Blizzard is a private company and can decide what is against their rules whether you like it or not. Doesn’t have to be against the laws to be against the rules which it is by the way.
No one has to cheat you out of anything to have a personal stake in it. People can tell you objectively that its bad for the game and that’s okay.
If you aren’t gonna quote the whole thing at least you can read the whole thing.
Its very easy to come up with your own conclusion even in your example, easily verifiable.
You BELIEVE that it brings less but objectively it brings more. Fresh 60s are likely to buy gold to supply themselves, that might mean that you on your main can pass that gold down to bid on gear on alts but any new entry to the scene will end up buying more. No one enters the raid scene without the initial investment into that first character. Eventually gold becomes meaningless as it just becomes a tool to trade raid pieces in which so much having been bought and sold that the economy blows far out of proportion.
Raid consumables will be expensive for the core used classes such as Warrior. They will almost certainly be the bread and butter buyers from the RMT sites, because this is what the locusts do. They swarm a thing pretending to be gods, and yet are almost not worthy of being considered men, then because “I have a wife and 18 kids and cant play that much” so they swipe their CC and buy raid consumes, driving the price on the AH to the moon.
Meanwhile GDKP is big bad evil and gives access to gold for non gold buyers due to the fact that it levels the playing field additionally giving access to meme specs for loot use; this is actually a really cool feature I did not consider before I got into GDKP this last month.
I really wonder if they’re waiting to see how RMT is in TBC.
From what I’ve gathered, that’s the time most people were abusing RMT the most. World buffs are gone but consumables don’t have CDs like WotLK and are even more powerful compared to player power.
WotLK had alot of players RMT for the first time for the Greatness Decks.
if I play TBC its because my guild comes back to Classic, in that instance I will not worry about any of that nonsense, since we will just raid traditionally in what really is fairly simple content.
Not sure about TBC consumables being more powerful than Vanilla. Vanilla flasks are really OP in early tiers. Supreme power at 150 spell power in MC where your casters have maybe 300 to 400 sp on gear. Distilled wisdom in Classic gives more mana than the TBC version. Also TBC reduced stackability of consumes.
You keep saying that thing except that every GDKP is a 0-sum gold ledger so the gold you get has to come from somewhere. Every gold has to be obtained by farming something in the world either by legit players or gold sellers. In that regard GDKPs may not be the problem but by the same logic they can’t be the solution.
