Why allow boosting but ban GDKP?

GDKP would be so nice if no one bought gold tho…imagine getting DST in grulls lair for like a couple thousand gold instead of 200k but that’ll never happen so we’re better off keeping it banned but boosting and bop dungeon loot selling should be also

I did prolly 40 gdkps for just gruul and i have never seen a dst go for that much.

These outliers are not the norm but keep being passed off as normal.

Yeah everyone having the same outliers means they aren’t outliers.

Sounds like your raids are the outliers.

That doesn’t fit your narrative but

Show me payout sheets of 5 DST’s going for 200k gold or 5 Gressils going for 100k.

Should be easy, it was so common right?

Yall are so uneducated on how gdkps actually work your only info is from click bait youtube videos with massively insane prices you think is the norm.

I did a bunch of GDKPs towards the end of my Era playing because that’s what 90% of pugs were sadly and I wanted to raid. I saw a gressil go for 110k once but were usually 40-60k. Saw kiss of the spider go for 80k once rest were same as gressil 40-60k. Anything outside of melee bis weaps and trinkets were sub 10k. Tier tokens were usually deleted or sold for min bid 500g.
This was near the end of eras high population where the people still playing had stockpiled gold and were dumping it on items at the end of Eras life. I would reckon this was the average, I don’t doubt there were some runs that had giga swipers in them and stuff went for more but those would not be the norm.
Tldr yes 40-60k is still a lot and prob mostly proceeds from RMT I am not denying.

I don’t think you can write off legitimate criticism as copium especially if it comes from enough people. Laziness only gets you so far; a ton of people participate in long vanilla grinds even at max level. If leveling was really that good, why is boosting so popular?

That places food sucks!

They have a line around the block.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh you found 1 video when it was the most common loot system?

There have already been more people saying they saw it.

I don’t think you understand what outlier means

Right
That’s the energy I’m seeing
It’s like they’re trying to say the food place is great when it’s a ghost town in there and the McDonald’s across the street has more people

Yup my thousands of gdkps vs your 0.

You def know more cuz you saw a Prefox video showing a gressil sell that high,

Oh yeah and DST is min 200k now.

I don’t know that they banned GDKP for any other reason than keeping up appearances. They just want people to think they’re trying. And a GDKP ban is an extremely low effort way to do that. Whether or not it actually puts a dent in RMT, who cares? You think it does. That’s all that matters.

He’s making even less sense than usual, and that’s saying something.

The problem with your position is you have gdkpers telling you your examples are outliers while you yourself don’t gdkp. So you’re using relatively minimal data from outside sources to dispute people who actively participate in the system and have more visibility and therefore credibility as to the prices than you do.

Yea i have only done 1000s of gdkps.

But he saw a prefox video so what do i know?

I have done 100s of GDKPs in TBC and I’ve never heard of the prices he’s throwing out there. 200k+ was a ton back then; the only time I heard of things going for that much were PvPers buying glaive sets and that was really only in the “elite” GDKPs.

Its because those pvp’ers sold carries so they had a ton of gold too.

Yes 200k for dst is such an outlier it isnt even in the realm of what 99.9% of gdkps did.

Same with the gressil in the prefox video.

Those dudes will just agree with eachother because they arnet here for anything other than to argue.

Well I think it’s primarily because of rated content mattering like 300% more than unrated content. If you’re pushing for r1 you need every single advantage you can get.

And glaive set is a bigger advantage than anything else I can think of.

The problem with that opening statement is that it’s not just my position. It was alot of people’s position including blizzards hence why they banned it. My position is the right one, not the wrong one.

Gdkps plagued servers, if you wanted to keep up you had to gdkp. Saying people that disagree with gdkps never gdkpd while openly admitting it was the #1 pug loot system doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s just an argument they use without much critical thinking.

Most anti gdkp people gdkpd, saw it for what it was but had to keep going to keep up. Blizzards own words “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”

You thinking that people arguing to get a loot system reinstated would have more credibility with their prices is also very low critical thinking. Why would I be skewing the numbers when the system is banned, wouldn’t it be the people trying to get it reinstated that would be skewing the numbers? Not the other way around?
