The GDKP Workaround

The Microsoft AI they use now will know.

false bans preceded gdkp bans. its far easier to get false banned for inappropriate chat than anything else.

it’s not reports. if it was itd still exist via discord. it’s likely the same tools they use to detect RMT but converted to gdkp detection, if u read his thread–trading, mail, ah, etc. nothing is going to be false about it. ull just get banned

Tell me you aren’t an engineer without telling me ^

A sophisticated automated discord bot based on a karma system exclusive to regular GDKP members.

A barter system with a liquid asset that goes quickly, such as a flask set at an agreed upon value not subject to manipulation. This is offset by regular bot activity.

A digital coin system completely made up, similar to bitcoin, where players pay RMT to obtain it and exchange the coin for gear in the raid. Think of FG from jsp.

3 systems off the top of my head.

It’s not going to work.

You are wasting time even discussing it. GDKPs are done.

Every single player on the server will know which item is being bartered, and the gdkp distribution will remain the same: funnel the gold/items and redistribute, which is very easy to track

And every workaround will be easily known and tracked

So do you. Do you realize how many people are going to make an entire game out of sneaking into these “Hidden groups” just to report them? There are whole discords being formed already. As passionate as the GDKP people are, so are the people that hate it, and one of those sides are now backed by Blizzard.

Have fun with trying though, can’t wait for these communities to bug out on eachother, trying to find rats, and reporting people that outbid them.

Block all gdkp, it’s bad for wow.

Ban people trading large sums of gold outside of their own account, unless tied to epic gear or known bis gear trades.

Work around that

Must be very easy to track like all the RMT that’s been going on since 2008 and thousands of players never getting caught once.

Now sure, there will be people getting caught, just like there has been people who received 2 week suspensions for RMT, but guess what, people still out there RMTing in droves and the gold market still out there existing because people still brake the rules and there are another 20 reasons to buy gold outside of “GDKPs”.

It’s a start tho. Gotta try stuff out, start somewhere since the “Ban bots” approach has quite literally NEVER stopped bots and RMT anyway. All it does is put more money in blizz pockets periodically during the mass ban waves and botters just buy new game licenses.

Even if some people manage to slip past blizzard scrutiny, the vast majority of players will stop doing… 90% less RMT is better than nothing… It’s impossible to stop RMTers and not every solution is a 100-0 solution

If you think about what needs to be tracked in game to deal with botting/hacking/RMT as well as GDKP transactions it probably follows similar patterns. In the end it’s gold being transferred between players. How often does that actually happen outside of RMT or GDKPs? AH purchase? Transfer between alts?

No casual player is doing GDKPs.

It’s almost impossible to track the majority of RMTs, that’s why they tackled where they spend

I can still see a lot of bot/RMT usage especially in phase 2, so there will still be RMTers, but a lot less

They’ll make it, someone will report it to blizz, blizz cs will join the discord, ban everyone in it.

GSR is the new GDKP 10g/soft reserve or more depending on raid lead with a max of 10 reserves per player.

It will be bannable

Exactly. It must be extremely easy for SR to incorporate a “zenny” field and let players do what they wish with it.

And how does the “casual” player earn hundreds of thousands of gold to bid on inflated items? It maybe lvl cap 25 now but we all seen gold cap bids on items in classic so it will not change and again how does the “casual” player as you put it reach gold cap to feel competitive. And as a casual why would they world buff, consume, ect ect when they are again “casual” as you put it…raid leader sorry you didn’t pump you get no cut your just a “casual”

The main thing is the GSR system is 100% legal compared to carries or GDKP as no gold is exchanged for items

Find a guild, raid with guild, get loot.

Or

Make your own pug, invite people that don’t need what you do, get loot.

Dunno why gold ever had to be involved in the process.

Not all GKDP players buy gold, but nearly all of them are using gold that was bought, just turning a blind eye to it. This is the reason people want it gone. If you wanna personally farm and hyper inflate the economy, good for you. But swiping, and using swiped gold to do so, is just not how things should be working.
