Like the title says. Nobody plays the game. People buy gold then buy gear. Chinese tiger team from the goldfarmers comes in, takes gold, hands out loot. GDKP makes the game toxic.
If pay to win GDKP is the way - Blizz should directly sell gold for classic and/or sell raid gear/guaranted drops/extra drops on the cash shop. Cut out the middleman in Hong Kong + get more profit for Blizz.
Bobby Kotick would approve this message.
Speak with your wallet, unsub and put the reason as gdkp runs ruining the game for you in the feedback box. Then, move on with your life
No need to ban it. You can simply not go to those raids. Problem solved.
It’s never getting banned because there’s nothing actually wrong with it from a TOS perspective.
It’s simply just a better way to pug, does it encourage gold buying? Sure there’s an argument for that no doubt, but again it’s just simply the most effective way to pug content for many reasons.
People are less flaky and don’t leave halfway through, there’s incentive to continue even after a few wipes etc etc
I have about 10 people I play with who I’ve been constantly trying to convince to drop this game for a while. It’s easy, fun, not a problem to multitask with. Unfortunately - there’s that nostalgia thing that comes with the Purina Dog Chow of games – and people who still play this dumpsterfire of a game don’t know what they’re missing out with.
I don’t play this game for the game. I play for the people I play with.
I didn’t know that GDKP makes 25 people who couldn’t clear raid suddenly able to clear it.
That’s not how it works. There’s a bunch of buyers and a bunch of carries. I can carry people and do GDKPs. I don’t … because it’s a toxic format.
I have actual money that I can count … I don’t need game gold. 
I know that feel. Best way to do it is to just start playing other games in your free time rather than doing chores in wow, talk about other games with your friends, and what kind of fun and escapades you get up to in them, stream them on discord for the to watch, that kind of thing. Just start exposing them to other games in general.
Bro - I hear you. I’ve even resorted to BUYING them copies of different games we can play. I’m willing to pay for other peoples games to finally leave this game.
there’s no Ulduar GDKPs doing HMs and also bringing carries. Later in the phase sure, but right now GDKPs are only taking people who are equipped and ready to carry and also buy.
Oof. Thats rough, yeah. Are these wow friends, or irl friends? If wow friends, maybe its time to move on
What’s the purpose then. Boosting/paid carry/selling BOP gear should be banned.
Oh IRL friends. We get eachother stuff … so it’s all good.
So players still have to spend their effort to clear raid and loots don’t magically appear.
They literally have sit afk at the entrance of the raid and buy gear GDKPs.
Ah, then all i can really say is, just quiet quit playing wow. Make other games your primary game, and spend the least amount of time you can wasted on wow
The purpose is to distribute gear through an auction of gold instead of imaginary dragon kill points or rolling /100
Why not just make all gear boe then, and let people put it up on the auction house?
Because that is not the gear design of Wow and never has been. The game wasn’t designed around GDKP, GDKP evolved in the community as a better pug system and that’s it.
They won’t do that. Do you know how many bots they’d lose?
That was a facetious statement meant to highlight that exact point.
