It was a first hand experience I saw numerous times, if you’re a buyer with gold you can AFK because people want that gold, it’s literally the entire point of why GDKP’s require buyers to run them, otherwise it isn’t worth it.
It’s not misinformation or ignorance when it’s 100% true.
Keep coping if you think casuals lost out the most.
You’re all buyers.
This is the dumbest thing I have heard
You would be a buyer when MC came out
Who’s the buyer and who’s the carry week 1???
In this hypothetical the carries are the full Pre-BIS farmed characters with world buffs who put in the time and effort to level and get ready to clear the raid, and the buyers are the full green fresh 60’s or 59’s who mostly AFK then magically purchase perditions blade or band of accuria and win any bid for any other item they want over any of the carries, and the carries let them do this because they want their cut of that gold.
That’s a hypothetical that didn’t really happen there, but if I recall GDKP’s didn’t start to pick up steam on Benediction until at least P2 or especially P3+.
In the real world GDKP’s are truly are the easiest most direct way for RMT gold buyers to purchase items for real money, and in the same go launder their bought gold thru the entire raid it’s ridiculous to pretend this isn’t a feature of GDKP’s.
Even if 100% of GDKP’s don’t have this happen (and let’s be honest, the vast majority do or the cuts aren’t worth it), that’s still the main purpose and effect they have on the game among the numerous other negatives to the social aspects and the way people play the game.
Without the whole GDKP system, it is much much more difficult to just buy gold via RMT and then win whatever bid on whatever item you want because the whole GDKP system directly supports gold buyer’s ability to do that, it’s a built in feature of GDKP’s.
No point arguing with stupid really. I guarantee they aren’t even actually reading your post as can be seen by this gnome mage replying to you
Everyone no lifes the game now.the epic mount was an achievement for most people becauae most people didnt know all the best ways to make gold and when people played back then . It wasnt about making every single second of your playtime as optimal is it could be
Are they?
GDKPs are usually pretty strict about parse requirements or min gold (and even if a buyer is rich, if they are not playing well they will laughed at and may not get a cut). Players playing bad on purpose aren’t motivating to the raid and generally get pushed out by gdkp parse culture, esp in naxx.
The easiest way to get gear is to get carried by a guild.
Thats their opinion, not mine, personally I dont think the game wont be worse off without GDKP.
Because GDKP as a loot system isn’t the problem here, The problem here is RMT.
I have said this multiple times in the past GDKP threads yet the anti-GDKPers want to plug their ears and refuse to listen to any opposition.
RMT is against the ToS and those people that partake into it should be banned period.
If they buy gold and then go into a GDKP, That Individual in question should be banned, not the entire loot system because of one guy.
If an individual is going into GDKPs, getting the payout gold at the end of the run and is going to sell it, he should be banned, not the entire loot system because of one guy.
But of course this is Blizzard and there going to take the easy way out instead of not enforcing their ToS,
Yea like I said you have 0 experience in organized discord gdkps.
Your experience seems to only be trade chat gdkps like I suspected.
Now I will say era content is brain dead so the trade chat gdkps are able the clear the content while carrying afk people.
Once the content got harder in TBCC those trade chat pugs were garbage just like any trade chat pug, they weren’t killing pre nerf vashj or clearing sunwell
The organized discord gdkps were better than your guild raids.
blizz fan girls coping that the gdkp did anything to RMT 
Meanwhile game is infested with bots and rmt and sites are literally selling gold in trade/LFG.
Saw a level 51 warrior with Edgies on earlier.
I’m sure he farmed 60 arcane crystals np.

And then these Anti-GDKPers will say that there are no bots and gold buying is dead because GDKPs are banned.
The only people who say banning GDKPs would completely eliminate RMT are pro-gdkp trolls.
But it’s a strep in the right direction and has been wildly successful. Swipers can continue to seethe, but that’s a good thing.
its obvious it did nothing, to say it did is massive cope
How do you know it’s wildly successful? Because blizzard decided to stick with it?
They stuck with the complete removal of batching despite the horrendous affects it had on pvp, and all the pve mechanics it broke, that they never fixed. Do you think that is wildly successful?
Do you consider the wrath feral buff wildly successful? Since blizzard left it in the game despite it being absolutely broken?
How about the addition of the wow token? Is that successful/good for the game? They added that to wrath classic
Would you say that blizzard using the wrong damage calculation formula for all of wrath classic is wildly successful because people were still able to clear raids? I thought the point of classic was to replicate the original releases. Not be Aggrend’s playground.
People who don’t swipe are not at any kind of disadvantage. There’s always the option of self sufficiency or group support through things like friends and guilds. They’re just playing the game the normal way whereas cheaters are buying time to stay ahead of them.
“Non swipers” aka normal people are not victims of people buying gold. The first casualty in gold buying is any notion of integrity.
Like saying all gdkps are rmt?
Funny when YOU speak in absolutes it’s fine.
Having to kick at 60% cast and still seeing the spell go off was so much fun…
GDKP is banned because Blizzard has data proving that it is a strong outlet for swiping. That is the real reason. Get over it.
