I sincerely don’t believe the majority would be unhappy with PL, specially after this last two months farming the BFD huge loot table, many times to be stomped over and over by bigger rolls.
PL has everything to be a success, specially if blizz add post raid content. Removing this persistent feature, where after you get your last piece of raid bis gear, “you done”, would be awesome.
amateur ish
I mean proving that hes reporting people doesnt prove anything as it doesnt say the reason for the reports.
Like the pic i linked above i could lie and say i reported anti gdkp players.
And I’m fine with adding it as an optional loot method, I don’t think many groups would pick it but sure as an option why not.
Main reason, would be to put an end to get end game pve gear through rmt, aka gdkp’s, so it couldn’t be an option.
But thats won’t put an end to it lol. At all.
Yes and it was widely hated in retail when it became mandatory while also doing nothing to prevent people from buying runs.
Retail is a very different environment and probably there are multiple ways to implement it. Buying runs, is much less harmful for the game and hasn’t the same appeal to rmt.
GDKP’s = Direct spending your bought gold into a specific item, you don’t lose your gold/money, if someone outbids you.
Buying runs = Spend gold, (eventually bought via rmt), without having certainty you’ll get anything at all.
So, just that factor, will reduce substantially the investment in RMT.
It might reduce the pools potentially, but most likely not. People are still going to buy the gold from RMT.
Only thing that will work is outright banning carry services bought with gold. Or effectively stopping the bots, sellers and buyers. Though blizz seems incapable of doing the latter.
It’s same amount of RMT getting into the economy whether it’s bought runs or GDKP’s.
You could even argue that bought runs are worse because those are typically hosted by guilds who are turning around and dumping that gold right into raid consumes/items for their progression.
And none of that changes that forced PL is terrible for most guild runs.
LMAO no way bro just said this 
Yeah the problem is you got an insane amount of people profiting off RMT gold. Not sure why you think thats okay, just because you didnt buy the gold directly doesnt mean you arent spreading the problem
Precisely once that gold’s in the game it’s in the game and it spreads. Until blizzard actual wants to do something about RMT you just have to accept that a certain percent of gold in game will be from RMT.
No, it won’t obviously be the same amount, as i demonstrated before, no one will invest the same amount of money in runs, than in direct bids for end game game gear.
You could even argue that bought runs are worse because those are typically hosted by guilds who are turning around and dumping that gold right into raid consumes/items for their progression.
This happens all the time with Gdkp’s, many, if not the majority of them are organized by well established guilds.
And none of that changes that forced PL is terrible for most guild runs.
Not necessarily, if decent algorithms are applied to it, which, i suppose, nowadays is relatively cheap and easy for Blizzard to implement.
I’m sure it would also help to fight many injustices, committed by raid leaders and guild masters, which many times explore the time and effort of some players, in favor of friends and boot licker($).
Please continue to report ALL GDKP and Boosting suppliers AND buyers.
Let Blizzard know we will not accept CHEATERS in the game…ever.
The more people that report…the better the game will be.
Please report them all.
Why wouldn’t they? The people RMTing don’t care about the RL money much.
That’s not how GDKP’s work, even if they’re hosted by a guild and there’s a good chunk of guildies in it the pot is still being split among the raid who do whatever with it.
Sure but now you’re talking about something quite different than PL.
I mean they could just remove all loot from bosses and have them all drop a raid currency instead. That would do away GDKP’s, reduce the value of buying a raid spot and fix problems with bad RNG on drops.
/shrug
Ofc they do, they are exchanging their real money for online goodies, like many people do, not only in p2w games, but also when they buy any digital product.
That’s not how GDKP’s work, even if they’re hosted by a guild and there’s a good chunk of guildies in it the pot is still being split among the raid who do whatever with it.
Yes, that’s how guild GDKP’s work, the majority of raid members are guildies, therefore the bigger chunk of the pot, goes into the guild pocket, in many cases to provide consumables/mats for future raids.

Personal loot, would be a better system, because that way, every run would value something concrete, therefore justifying a higher real money/gold investment.
With personal loot, there’s always a chance to not get anything, besides helping the other chads… So heavily investing on it, is always risky.
False reporting is also ToS
Until blizzard is serious about punishing gold buyers, there will be a botting problem. They could have made an example out of Soda but instead they went light on his punishment and showed us they don’t really care that much. I’m not saying hardware ban the guy, just ban his account and make him start over on a new one.
That be like blizzard doing something about the boosting you know like they did in SoM
