Why are you allowing GDKP in SoD?

[Zaigo-bleeding-hollow]

@Ziryus-pagle

It hasn’t been an issue

blinders are funny

dont care
ban gdkps

@Therontus-emerald-dream

People buy gold, they pay a crap ton of gold for whatever they want. The gold gets spread between the people in the raid. The people in the raid that didn’t buy gold just got a stupid amount of gold. At least a handful of these people use this ill-gotten gold to buy consumes or whatever else, sometimes they buy everything out. People repost things for stupid high prices. People with the GDKP gold don’t really care how much they have to pay for whatever they’re buying from the AH, because they have so much, so they pay whatever the price is for whatever they need. The prices skyrocket because for everything from BoEs to consumes because of this. Now the only way to afford consumes is to either buy gold or go to GDKPs and hope a big “buyer” comes in and pays a stupid amount for an item so they can afford consumes for whatever else they’re doing. Eventually, after this has gone on long enough, the primary way to make gold to afford things is to either cheat or to go to GDKPs or run them yourself. After this goes on long enough, the primary raid you said being run in general is a GDKP. Now all you have is GDKPs and a select amount of LC and SR runs that can’t get going because all the people that are actually trying are only doing GDKPs because they need to use their lockouts to afford consumes.

@Therontus-emerald-dream

The bots create literally millions of gold that wasn’t in the economy. The gold buyers buy that gold, they use that gold to buy stuff in GDKPs for stupid amounts. That gold gets spread to non-gold buyers. They buy out the auction house. They repost for higher pricers. Other gdkpers no longer care about the price of items. They pay whatever they have to. People keep posting for high prices because it sells. Everyone has to find someway to afford their consumes so they also do GDKPs.

This is reality. This is what happened. I know it doesn’t suit your narrative, but that’s how this works.

@Zaigo-bleeding-hollow

Then, comes the WoW token.

Imagine not understanding that they’re looking for the biggest buyers so they walk away with more gold for their time. If you think hosts aren’t incentivized to look for gold buyers who will spend ridiculous sums of gold on whatever upgrade they can get then I don’t know what will convince you. It should be common sense, no?

[Ziryus-pagle]

The vast majority of items in GDKP’s do not go for amounts that aren’t easily obtainable without RMT.

So yeah you just have no clue what you’re talking about

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

Black lotus are the least of our problems nowadays. You only need one MAYBE two per raid and that’s it. It’s any consume that has warrior written on it that’s the problem. A warrior can’t go into naxx without 3-4k worth of consumes right now. Even mage has some issues, but it’s just incomparable to anything with warrior associated with it.

[Baddtank-lone-wolf]

As a gay man I can tell you the bottoms who love getting butt blasted really love it, this mans in here typing one handed.

You’re just being obtuse at this stage. Gold buyers are trash at the game. They’re cheating, after all. You assume they can easily obtain stuff but they’re terrible at the game.

[Baddtank-lone-wolf]

Are you trying to bring up era lol? Museum servers have nothing to do with fresh and the inflation on era is because blizz let people copy gold cap then mass that gold to a diff toon and copy again.

[Zaigo-bleeding-hollow]

@Baddtank-lone-wolf

bring up era

history are doomed to repeat it, or something like that

The copied gold cap is absolutely not the problem anymore. That is far in the past and the least of the issues, and oddly enough, has nothing to do with our inflation. Because the inflation didn’t start until the resurgence and mass GDKPs.

[Ziryus-pagle]

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

You’re just being obtuse at this stage. Gold buyers are trash at the game. They’re cheating, after all. Y

Noone has said anything different.

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

Whitemane is basically unplayable because of GDKPs causing hyper inflation. You are required to run GDKPs just to afford consumes to do anything.

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

Some unbelievably naive takes in here. GDKPs are inextricably linked to RMT in 2024.

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

it’s not unplayable, you can come up in it. I’ve seen people do it pretty easily, the issue is that yeah… you HAVE to run GDKPs. I have 10 transmute alts and i barely keep up with that.

[Drinknblink-benediction]

So is the Ah.

Let’s remove it

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

It’s insane to me that these people peddle lies about how only top elite players go to GDKPs to bid on items amongst only the greatest other players. And that like no one there is getting carried and totally trust me for real no one bought gold. They’re trying to argue stuff like people RMT so they can buy a 1000g mount and then flat out refuse to believe that people turn upto buy BIS items for tens of thousands of gold. Such deranged takes.

[Äpathy-mankrik]

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

I played 60 on vanilla era as well.

So?

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

My experience is more than you’re letting on.

Not with gdkps.

[Drinknblink-benediction]

Yes that just isn’t how TBCC or wotlk classic are.

Raiding in those were way cheaper than classic because of the way blizz handled black lotus.

That’s why this inflation meme is a meme on the other versions because gdkps don’t affect anyone because the market is oversaturated with raid consumes because of bots.

There is no inflation on my server only deflation.

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

I guess it’s exhausting would be the word. I wasn’t enjoying being a slave having to boost these bad players who are killing my server just so I could play on it. I bowed out and took a break. Won’t be back sadly.

[Noxranna-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Your “counter-analogy” holds no water because the “cause” isn’t a mystery that the “doctor” needs to figure out. we know the cause is RMT, and the solution is to…get rid of RMT. But instead of that, you insist we get rid of GDKPs
