Great video. Touches on all the points and can’t be interrupted and derailed by gold buyers mid point

I bet you think guns should be banned as well. They “only” contribute to murders and killing. You keep crying about GDKP but the real problem is gold buying and botting. without those two GDKP’s are pretty much the perfect loot system unless you fall under one of the three original points I made. I suspect you fall under number 1,2,3.
back in 2006 before GDKP we would bring 4-5 people (buyers) to our old raids that wanted specific items that no one else in the guild needed and we would sell them for a set price for the guild bank.
remove GDKP and this can still be done except you could just trade arcane crystals or tons of herbs
did you stop RMT at all?
nope

Different guilds did different things, I suppose.
This augment is devoid of reason. Join a guild that likes running older content. Play on more populated servers.
Stop supporting gold buying, gold selling and botting.

and your argument excludes the human condition and reward system. no incentive = people dont do said thing
I agree with that but on the other hand don’t see why I would have to let other people’s cheating limit my enjoyment of the game. This isn’t the Olympics, it’s more of a pickup game in the park so I wouldn’t start stressing about who is using drugs.
People are mad about GDKP because blizzard refuses to do anything about botting which is the root cause of everything.
RMT will always happen but the majority of gold being generated into the economy is coming from autonomous accounts farming things people want. GDKP have nothing to do with that.
blizzard could literally hire 3 real people per server to work 8 hour shifts and completely decimate the botting world, but they dont.

Not all incentives are monetary, but again like I said iny post above I don’t mind people who prefer to play that way. There’s just a dark side of that argument where you start calling suckers or losers those that don’t monetize their raiding time.

no they arent, but we are creatures whose efforts are rewarded with dopamine. this is reality. if the efforts do not result in a reward we will shift to other efforts
When your argument is so thin you gotta make things up about your opponent to attack instead. Fantastic.

The real reason you hate GDKPS
I don’t hate it, but denying that it promotes RMT is denying reality.

I play games for fun…how about you?
Maybe you should find a new hobby instead of ruining mine with cheating.

so should everything that promotes RMT be banned or just this one singular path? we are saying this solves nothing about the root issue
Nah, the gold buyers’ accounts should be banned. Permanently.

Some people would argue another version of this game is better at providing those rewards consistently without even the need for social interactions 
Not even singling you out, a lot of people here who complain about their game time being wasted by bad groups or loot RNG may be firmly in the 'you think you do but you don’t ’ camp.

Except, even without GDKPs, people would buy bot-farmed gold to buy consumables, crafted gear, etc. GDKPs don’t actually accelerate that.
GDKPs don’t ruin the economy, they keep money flowing which would actually be good for a real economy, but in Wow doesn’t really matter. Instead of 1 player having lots of gold and crappy gear, now that player has no gold and good gear, while other players have that gold. It doesn’t increase the amount of gold in the system.
Bots ruin the economy, and yes they should be stopped, but that is a completely separate issue from GDKPs.
having an incentive to continually run the old content is fun
