Yep anyone who sells anything on the AH has RMT gold.
It would come from legit players if blizzard banned sellers / buyers.
But its fine y’all can enjoy the bad pug raids in fresh - I know I won’t be helping any pugs there.
The only thing gained from anti-gdkp is further split between good and bad players, because you ban the system that gave us a reason to carry underperforming pugs
No pro-gdkp carry will ever have a problem getting full bis - because we know how to pump and will raid LC.
Come on, Ziryus, you’re better than that. At least you used to be. Comparing GDKPs to the AH is like comparing robbing a bank to finding a penny on the street.

This is 100% Bass backwards.
People buy gold, the vast majority of gold, to purchase items in GDKP’s.
By banning GDKP’s theres literally now 3-5 items they purchase gold for, compared to dozens of items in multiple raid tiers that they would purchase an even greater sum of gold to buy via GDKP’s.
GDKP’s are by in large the largest driver of RMT, they aren’t the only driver as evidenced by items like edgemaster’s, but again going from people RMT’ing to purchase dozens of items in multiple raid tiers, to RMT’ing to purchase 3-5 items, is a massive improvement.
Not to mention like I said, now that we can identify the select few items gold buyers are RMT’ing to purchase, it becomes much easier to identify and ban gold buyers should Blizzard choose to do so.
Banning GDKP’s is a massive improvement over allowing them.
In my view, the people supporting GDKP’s are the same people buying gold or wanting to take a cut from people buying gold.
It’s scummy as hell all the way around, and you can PUG just fine without a GDKP.
The negatives of GDKP’s massively outweight any small positives of “convenience”
Based on the amount of people who have gold cap from running the AH, I’m gonna disagree.

More like robbing a bank with a gun and robbing it with a knife - does the difference really matter both are robbing the bank because half the fresh players are buying gold
What’s the point of gold cap you can’t buy gear in GDKPs?

Yes it is an improvement, there’s more to be done, but absolutely it’s easier to deal with someone robbing with a knife compared to a gun.
That’s a bad analogy, but even in that analogy it makes sense to ban GDKP’s as an improvement…
That’s my point. Gold is farmed outside the raid. The GDKP doesn’t reduce the need for someone to farm outside.
The same thing as always? Consumes, BoEs, Enchants, Epic riding, all that for alts?
You don’t need consumes, BOEs, etc.
I raided all of classic and barely farmed at all.
Hope you enjoy your multi hour MCs with the non-performing player in greens putting the same SR as you and winning the roll, week after week.
I have a guild, we cleared MC in like an hour?
GDKP’s make less people join guilds as well.
This whole argument about “GDKP’s have pro elite players and all PUGs are noobs” is complete BS.
If you filter people the same way via logs and WB’s and all that crap people already do, the players are exactly the same.
That argument is just cope by GDKP players to try to make themselves feel better or something.

Raids are easy in classic it doesn’t matter if people are in greens.
I’ll still get loot.
I got both BIS daggers on my rogue from MC in 1 run in Classic and in WOTLK bro I got the touch.
Okay so just obliterate all the pug runs because you have a guild.
I also have guild but I don’t ruin the game for others because of it.
Thanks karen.
You don’t need flasks and protection potions or your elixirs and food? Dang man I’m glad I didn’t play with people like you. That progression must have been brutal.
If by “how they want it to,” you mean “to appeal to those who don’t want GDKP,” then yes it does appear to be such.
In so much as we can say that they implemented the policy for SoD and have decided to implement it for Anniversary realms we can see simply that they have not decided that it is such bad policy that they don’t want to implement it.
That doesn’t mean that they have decided it works or is good policy, nor does it serve as evidence that they are sure it is doing anything positive at all. Just that with whatever metrics they may have gathered or are looking at or are assuming, they have decided to implement the same policy for Anniversary as they did for SoD - both of which also happen to have Dual Spec.
We don’t know that it’s good or bad, we don’t know that it’s effective or not. We don’t even know what the intended purpose of the ban is.
Nope.
I never flasked once in classic on a warlock and we cleared AQ40 just fine.
Don’t need anything.
You can’t talk to reason to these people. They just miss their huge gold source being gone from the game. And none of them can be honest about it, so they come up with completely ludicrous arguments that have been disproven time and time again. Imagine saying gold sellers want GDKPs banned. Imagine comparing GDKPs to the AH. 
I honestly feel embarrassed for them after reading those kinds of posts. I’d at least respect it if they were honest about why they want GDKPs.
Too bad folks, but no massive secondhand RMT gold cut from GDKPs for you. 
By the way, the money laundering and gold inflation caused by GDKPs is only part of the reason it was banned. It’s also incredibly anti-Vanilla and anti-community. People always forget that was part of the reason Blizz says they banned it. Besides the plethora of negatives it causes to the game.

Half the people in this thread supporting GDKP’s are claiming GDKP’s entirely eliminate the need to farm gold outside of them because they hate farming gold.
So they disagree with you on this.
That’s one of the biggest problems with GDKP’s, with gold buyers and RMT it makes everything else in the game irrelevant because you get a massive amount of gold from the pots from RMT cheaters buying huge amounts of gold specifically to buy items in GDKP’s.
