What exactly constitutes a “gold bid” or GDKP raid?
So no carry runs either 
sorry your gotcha moment didnt work 
I think according to banning gdkp community. Boost run is also illegal. Selling runs is illegal.
Oh btw, I also sell lock mount runs in dm in classic. Was good gold too
Absolutely should be as well
Agreed this bans carries too. It’s in black and white.
Carry runs can easily be reported under these rules as they are defined.
So if I run a MS>OS run, someone wins an item over me, and I tell him I’ll buy it from him for gold I’ll get banned?
That is a grey area you can test at your own risk.
I would think it’s fine if you aren’t doing it intentionally to avoid the GDKP ban.
Like if you do it every raid, every lockout, and a lot of items, they will probably figure that out man.
Use common sense.
Yeah I think we need a solid clarification on selling a raid spot is the same as selling items
It’s like breaking any other rule/law, just don’t get caught and you’ll be fine.
Yeah definitely a gray area. I wouldn’t do it under the new stipulations.
This says awarding items for gold is banned.
So carries are banned.
It’s pretty clear.
hahahahahahah.
“WELL BUT I CAN STILL CHEAT IF I DO…”
I don’t think so, as written it says “runs where items are awarded in exchange for gold”.
If the person who won the item decides to exchange it for gold to someone else in the run, that should be a seperate transaction which occured after the item was awarded and devs would have access to the logs in order to confirm this.
That’s fine on a 25 I suppose but what happens once you are neck deep in BWL or AQ. Is it worth risking time you can never get back or is it just easier to do it the way it’s intended?
Decision is yours. Good luck!
It’s good that they clarified. Because it would have been too easy of a work around to just do carries for gold like retail does instead of actual GDKPs
Ain’t selling the gear, you’re selling the raid slot.
Getting gear after that is just a product of people passing on loot
It needs clarification because it’s a grey area
Idk, based on the wording boosting doesn’t technically provide an item. Except for pvp boosting. Just boosting for exp tho doesn’t seem to be against the rules.
Selling runs for farming boss loot…… anyways. I don’t mind ppl do that. I have my mage and hunter on two different sub. I can farm anything myself
Except the logs wouldn’t show anything other than a person getting the item and then trading that item for a sum of gold sometime later, without any logs otherwise.
If their detection system is easily fooled by just having people randomly acquire the item and then trade gold for it after loot is distributed, then GDKPs can live on as they always have with a very minor manipulation of how loot distributes (with addons to sort it out seamlessly anyway).
But given how sure they are in detecting GDKP behavior inside and outside of an instance, I have a feeling they’re looking for a lot of means by which people will try to circumvent the ban, and this seems like a super easy thing to track and treat as suspicious.
Well… what happens to the items that drop? If the gold allows access to any of that… the wording (broadly construed) could include it.
Well let’s put our lawyers cap on and use the “but for” test.
But for that money, you wouldn’t of gotten that item. Therefore, you used money to get the item.
So by the rules I would think looting anything on a carry run would be bannable.
