I am publishing this report to document the activities of Cheese GDKP, a raid organization operating under the guild Cheese Alliance on the WoW Anniversary servers.
Based on publicly available information from their Discord server, raid announcements, bidding platform, and website, the operation is managed by individuals including CHEESE, SNSTR, Aikos, Gwap, and Razz. The group organizes multiple raids every week across both Alliance and Horde and has built an entire ecosystem around external bidding, account balances, deposits, payouts, and withdrawals.
At first glance this may look like a normal GDKP. However, after reviewing the available information, it becomes clear that this system goes far beyond the traditional concept of players bidding gold for raid loot.
Instead of handling bids entirely inside the game, participants are directed to an external website where they maintain balances, place bids, receive raid payouts, deposit funds, and request withdrawals. Item values are presented in USD and the platform effectively functions as a marketplace where raid gear can be acquired through a balance system tied to real-world value.
The screenshots attached below show examples of USD-denominated item values, account balances, deposit and withdrawal functionality, raid payout announcements, website bidding activity, raid scheduling and recruitment, and instructions related to the platformâs use.
Players participating in these raids are reportedly spending hundreds of dollars on individual items, with some spending well over $1,000 in a matter of weeks to obtain near-BiS or full BiS gear. In many cases, participants are not even bidding directly with gold. Instead, gold is converted into website balances which are then used within a system where items are valued in USD.
One notable participant associated with this ecosystem was streamer Vnscool, who was reportedly banned after participating in these activities. Despite reports of buyers receiving account actions, the operation itself continues to run multiple raids every week with little interruption.
Beyond the obvious concerns regarding real-money trading, another issue deserves attention: the amount of trust participants are placing in a privately controlled third-party platform.
The website controls balances, deposits, payouts, and withdrawals. Players may be holding significant amounts of value within a system that exists entirely outside Blizzardâs control. If disputes occur, balances disappear, payments are reversed, accounts are restricted, or the platform shuts down, participants may have little recourse.
This report is not intended as a personal attack against ordinary players. Its purpose is to document how this operation functions and to warn players who may be considering participating. Anyone thinking about depositing money, converting gold into website balances, or spending large amounts of money on raid gear should understand the risks involved before doing so.
The evidence attached below consists of screenshots taken from publicly accessible sources related to Cheese GDKP and Cheese Alliance. Readers are encouraged to review the information themselves and reach their own conclusions.

If Blizzard chooses to investigate these activities, the information contained in this report may assist in understanding how the operation functions. Until then, players should be aware that participation in systems involving external balances, withdrawals, and USD-based raid item valuations may carry significant risks regardless of how established the organization appears to be.
For transparency and verification purposes, all screenshots are provided at the bottom of this report. The following screenshots were obtained from publicly accessible sources associated with Cheese GDKP and are included so readers can independently review the information presented and draw their own conclusions.
