Its the best PUG system for parsing chads that buy gold.
It never really bothered me until the realization that GDKPs are a huge reason why there are so many incessant bots out there.
Need gdkp on lava lash rp server, otherwise the server is dead
No, botting is because peoplenare buying gold and a lot of it. It is easy to buy gold and gear up quick in GDKPs. Are GDKPs 100% at fault? No…but it is a HUGE beneficiary to farmers and them pumping out all those bots…
Can blizz do anything? I dont know, probably not. The video states how they are trying to put a clamp down on the farmers…The pug system didnt bother me until i realized its a significant factor in bots. They are So damn annoying.
It’s pretty bad on Crusader Strike but on Living flame horde side not so bad.
Could be just because more people.
Regardless get Bulletin Board addon to filter that crap.
Just cuz it’s lower cuz less less people need the gear doesn’t mean that phase 2 will be the same…
In fact it’ll been even worse
Don’t cope with your false assessment of a situation you have no grasp on
So many people are just taking this to personal it seems and looking for anything to hate GDKP’s though. So let me ask you this. If there was absolutely no RMT and no botting possible, would you still have a problem with people running GDKP’s?
You barely make like 10-20g a GDKP atm, only time it goes for more is it something like the staff drops, which is extremely rare and many groups haven’t even seen 1. Even then, tour payout is never more than like 30-40g at best. Highest I ever saw was 50g and that had the staff and the 2h drop and both went for like 150g each with the other stuff.
Like 90% of runs are between 10-20g. Even if you try to stack people with gold and make them compete they won’t do it.
Over half of the loot is useless and nobody wants it because greens or dungeon gear is better
Why do you care if people run GDKP? The AH promotes far more RMT than GDKP ever has.
This is what happens when you let people farm gold for two months. Hopefully you’ve collected the bare minimum of 500g in this time.
Got any proof? Cause I have done GDKP’s and my experience differs from what you are claiming.
No one has any “proof” of which one actually promotes more RMT, but you would be pretty ignorant in having your “educated” guess be that GDKP’s see more RMT than the AH lol.
EDIT: also it doesent matter. The FACT is they both “promote” RMT. So until anyone starts to boycott the AH like they are GDKP’s then I will not respect their opinion on GDKP’s being “banned” lol
This is the most basic common sense. GDKPs allow you to buy items in a raid with gold, so players with more gold get more items. If you buy gold you have an advantage.
GDKP makes the real money → character power pipeline simpler and easier than ever.
Dont join gdkps then?

Show us how to buy raid gear on the AH or your comment won’t make sense.
The AH just promotes normal trade between players. Boycotting it would be like boycotting the request trade feature. This game has something called “bind on pickup” exactly to limit what you can trade, and gdkp helps players circumvent that.
Why would I collect gold and waste time when I can just buy it lol.
It’s a heavily botted game. Trying to keep up with bot inflation by farming is a losing game with less and less returns. It’s much faster and more time efficient to just buy a bunch of cheap gold. This is the Classic experience everyone wanted 
You mean how you can buy BIS pieces on the AH better than raid gear? Did that show you how?
I think you mean Master loot helps players circumvent that. You are delusional because lets say you could not trade loot to anyone right? Well you would just put the game to master loot and with GDKP’s still start the bidding. Then whoever wins, the ML would say hey trade me the gold and once the gold is received the ML would insert the item into the bags. BUT WAIT, lets say they took away ML. There will still be carried and paid for items just from the basic need/greed/pass rolling system. “GROUP: WTS whatever item you want in BFD. Only pay on drop.”
Now use your brain and come up with the many other ways this would go about happening with GDKP’s, because believe it or not its already being done. I have seen it. Guilds selling the trinket. and other items and they arent doing “GDKP’s” lol
If that was the case people would just get all their gear on the AH and not even bother with gdkp. In order to get the best items you have to raid.
Crazy how I basically write “unlike the AH, this thing helps players trade items that aren’t normally traded” and this semi-analphabet reads “this is the only thing that helps you circumvent that”
I was referring to your previous statement that you’ll only respect people’s opinion on GDKP if they started boycotting the AH as well. The AH is completely different from GDKP or any other method of monetizing loot distribution in raids. There’s nothing wrong with being against RMT and things that further incentivize it and NOT being against the AH.

I think anything that involves gold is going to incentivize buying gold in some way.
I have done GDKP’s and seen the prices, and I have also seen the prices of some bis/pre-bis on AH, and with that information and those numbers, my conclusion is the AH incentivizes RMT more than GDKP’s do.
Now, this might be incorrect, but we can’t know that. It’s just safe to assume the AH and trading is just as bad, if not worse. We can’t get rid of it all, we don’t want to. Blizzard just needs to ban the rulebreakers.

I literally just told you that there are BETTER items than in the raid that are on the AH right now going for hundreds of gold… Stop trying to go in a circle and admit you were just proven wrong with that one fact…
I never said they werent different? I said they are guilty of “promoting” the same thing and which one “promotes” more RMT is besides the point here lol. Which means if you are against something because it “promotes” RMT and something else also promotes RMT but you are okay with it (the AH), then you are a hypocrite. Its literally the definition. It would be like saying “I absolutely hate banana’s and will never eat them”, but then you are in the corner eating banana bread.
You just showed your cards and admitted you are a hypocrite. I will not continue having this conversation after you openly admitted that.
And I just told you that the the AH is no replacement for actual group content as most bis items are still bop – an item or two that are boe will not change the fact that you still need to raid for the rest. Again, buying stuff on the AH and buying with gdkp are not even comparable.
When we say GDKP “promotes” RMT we mean beyond what is normally traded. Obviously as long as the game has trade between players, there will always be some incentive for RMT. Since items traded between players are boe, real money will not make a huge difference to your character’s power when it comes to the AH alone. It’s the possibility of getting bop items with gold that really makes RMT a huge deal.
Suggesting that you should be against player trade in order to be against RMT and things that promote it is just dumb. It’s like saying you can only be against contraband if you’re against the import/export of any product. There’s nothing hypocritical with boycotting GDKP and not the AH.
