Someone made GDKP as a service

join group, send report, leave

you didnt do any gdkp at that point, and if the group then proceeds to do their gdkp after you leave, they probably get the banhammer :dracthyr_shrug:

Blizzard is just going to do a token response to GDKP. If they won’t remove bots in a timely manner, they won’t do anything about GDKP.

They are just going to throw a minimum effort automated response at it with little to no manual oversight and call it a victory.

Simply by making it against TOS they will see a 80-90% reduction in GDKP, because contrary to what people shrieking on these forums and reddit will tell you, most GDKP players are not cheaters and don’t want want to get banned.
They can achieve this result with no enforcement, just the threat of a ban is good enough and will make most players avoid GDKP forever.

If you didn’t buy anything or accept the gold at the end you’re not part of it except adding damage/tanking/healing. They have no grounds to ban you.

Also snitch or not screw GDKP people I hate logging in and being bombarded with
BFD GDKP 50G MIN BID PST ect.

GDKP people deserve no sympathy for ruining LFG. Like damn I just wanna run freaking Deadmines shut the hell up.

which of these 2 is easier to detect?

  1. a botter who constantly updates his bot to avoid detection even after you put in measures to catch him

  2. a dumbass trading 50k for piece of loot in raid

now guess why blizz might enforce against the GDKP’s instead of magically being able to ban every bot

If they don’t ban people when they receive the gold, what makes you think they will do it when somebody receives an item?

because there are a ton of reasons outside buying someone could be getting traded a large amount gold out in the open world

inside a raid when loot is happening, not so much

I hate logging in and being bombarded with BFD GDKP 50G MIN BID PST ect.

(1) download the Bad Boy addon
(2) enable filters for “GDKP” , “WTS” and similar buzzwords
(3) enjoy the lack of that which you hate in the LFG channel thanks to the power of having agency

Why should I have to download an addon for people being annoying?

They are forming a group, just like you, why is that annoying to you?
If you don’t want to participate in their loot system, block them.
Until recently, this was within TOS and the LFG/trade channel was the only way to advertise, what alternative would you suggest they use to form their PUG with?

You’re being disingenuous and you know it.

People doing GDKP’s are not just saying it once. It’s spamming oh sure you can block the 1 and then you can block the 2ed and the 3rd.

It’s a major problem when it’s the majority of LFG.

Also GDKP is a plague to the actual game. Why play the game when I can just buy my way through?

( i already covered your question because it’s so predictable )

“I hate X”

“here’s a solution for dealing with X”

“WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!?”

incoming reply from Seraca explaining why she shouldnt have to do anything, everything should just be done for her.

You shouldn’t need an addon for people spamming.

Am I freaking crazy for thinking it’s ridiculous that we have to download an addon for people spamming?

it is a bit high strung, addons to filter chat are a thing

but nobody is gonna miss the constant GDKP spam except the people who organized them

It’s never going to stop as long as masterloot exists.
