What problem?
GDKPs? Not a problem
Gold selling/buying? There are other reasons people buy gold so gold selling/buying would still exist.
Bots? Bots would still exist in same ammount.

Is there a specific chat addon to filter posts using keywords like GDKP?
I know peeps want to say ignore them, but after about 15 ignores in less than a hour and itâs still spammed I just want an addon to mute their post.

No way?! The same couple bobble-heads to defend GDKPsâŚ
its not. you just switch it from a gdkp to guilds selling boosts. 3 buyers, 3 different armor types, feed gear to the 3 buyers, they all pay x amount up front for the gear+carry. Just like in retail, make the 3 buyers pay 300g each and boom. just like a gdkp but gold split 7 ways.
This may help:
Reporting every single gdkp in chat, is probably more effective at a long term.
Gdkps are the kind of problem that has the potential to put SOD and classic in general down.
Imagine spending thousands of hours in a mmo, that will turn into a boosting/gdkp simulator, based on rmt, by the 3rd or 4th phase.
Imagine working your way out in end game pve, during those phases, just to stare at capital cities full of card swifters and bis carried players, while gdkp sellers completely dominate the economy of the server, just because they spent the last months sucking the whales milkâŚ
YESSSS CLOG THE REPORT SYSTEM, GET A BAN FOR FALSE REPORTING! LETS GO!!

There is no problem.
Itâs just a loot method.

what if i told you, you didnt have to go to GDKPâs and Join Regular MS>OS/SR runs? or join a guild that doesnt do GDKPâs? 
Wouldnât stop the GDKPs from ravaging the server.
Yes, sure, because people will surely pay upfront huge amounts of gold, knowing that the probability to get their loot will be substantially reduced, or trusting those same huge amounts of gold to strangers, hoping they will return it back, if they donât get the lootâŚ
Those types of boosts in raids like BFD, which have very large table loots, where is normal to spend like 10 lockouts, without getting any loot, wonât have the necessary thrust to fly.
Personal loot, with some adjustments and keeping raids under 20 players, preferably with just 10 players and almost puggable at the beggining of each phase, are the solutions for this mess.
The only people who do not buy gold for GDKP, are the ones knowingly receiving RMT gold from the ones that did.
Maybe not all of these bad actors are sellers, maybe some just enjoy hoarding gold.
All of them alike however, will say anything to protect their scheme.

Gdkpâs = End game gear shop
Itâs pay to win, do you understand? Pay to win mmoâs are DOA, every time, for obvious reasons.

LOL ITS WHAT THEY DO IN RETAIL BUB. People pay 300k for 8 timed 20 M+ and 1mill for AOTC, and 10mil for edgies.
Ban GDKPâs and this is what youâll get.
$15 for 300 gold? people pay more for a pc of gear.
omg i never thought i would agree with or like a drinknblink post but this is just worse in everysingle way.

its not pay to win tho. its an auction if the gear even drops.
Pay to win means you pay money to get that Item automatically, gear that regular players cant get like diablo immortal.
Personal loot is a non-starter.

Semantic arguments are bad arguments. You know precisely what that person means and that person is right.
