What a weird way of admitting their counter argument is correct. If you view high-priced BOEs as an exemption then GDKP itself should therefore be an exemption as well.
Carries are in full effect in retail. Maybe you don’t have your “Services” chat channel turned on, but its there.
People are not obligated to participate in GDKP.
If RMT users can’t use their gold on GDKP, they will instead just use it on things such as rare AH BOEs and inflate those prices.
Enforcing the ban on RMT will reduce RMT. Ban the buyers & the sellers.
If you won’t get a reward for running SSK you just won’t run it. And this is a fact. An actual fact, not you failing to pass your opinion as a fact.
Gdkps boosted overall playtime and have kept old content relevant. It’s your flawed assumption that screwed you over - but of course when you treat your own opinions like facts it is easy to get blindsided by the truth.
Good insult that didnt add to this conversation at all I guess? Then saying I have absolutely no clue what I am talking about without stating your stance and why. lol. good talk i suppose
Name what bit of mental gymnastics. I haven’t used any.
Yes, he used a retail point. Boosting servers became too big and detract from the main forms of playing that didn’t promote RMT. They fix it by banning these communities now you see a lot less people involved. I know as I had a lot of booster friends who can’t find “work”.
It is much less main stream now. Saying otherwise means your opinion is worthless as its just not nearly as big as it was. Its a fact and I am not going to argue to you about it.
Yeah you are for sure going on the ignored list. The fact you can’t understand what I was saying there means you can’t have a more then a surface level conversation.
Its not about being obligated. It takes players out of the normal guild raid system to a PRO RMT system.
Someone not being able to buy a BOE is better then losing gear to and RMTer in a raid.
I just don’t like the fact people are buying gold and buying their gear with real money. I didn’t know this was turning into pay 2 win for classic world of Warcraft…
How are you losing gear to a RMTer if you arent going to GDKP’s. No need to thank me on coming up with this mind blowing solution of not going to GDKP’s. Also what if that BOE is better than any loot in the raid and is BIS? your argument just doesent make sense and I hope you can humbly admit that.
Yes, because the work is now being done by guilds. The change did nothing to impact demand, it just made it so only guilds could realistically meet the new rules.
As mentioned, look at the services tab. Plenty of people still want to buy boosts.
I argued to much on this point above, if you have anything to help try to sway my opinion on what the definition of pay to win is in wow please feel free to try, but the definition is on google. I know Crud used that definition to pick apart what he THOUGHT was right, but it just isnt. I will say this for the last time. Pay to win by definition in a video game is when you can buy something (for example a weapon) that is better than any other weapon you can get for free in game, and can only be purchased with real money.
Imagine being unable to formulate valid arguments against your stance and resorting to “ignored” instead. Interesting coping mechanism you have there.
They were never that mainstream to begin with. The fact is that they still exist.
Please refer to the very first post in this thread for reasons why it takes players out of the “normal” raid system.
Your argument is that the player pool for normal raid system is being reduced because of GDKP. Is that correct? Or am I strawmanning you? If that is your sole argument, then yes I agree, GDKP draws away players from the normal raid system, alongside other factors such as players who are already so geared they have no reason to run the raid, players who are jaded because they have their loot ninja’d or lose rolls grey parsers, etc.
Losing gear to a grey parser, or a ninja, or just in general is worse than losing a roll to an RMTer in raid because at least in a GDKP run, if I get no loot I will at least get some gold. Literally one of the main reasons for GDKP.
