Why are you allowing GDKP in SoD?

[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.

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

[Ziryus-pagle]

@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.

It’s more that we’re calling you out on thinking that 1000g is some huge amount that could only possibly be gotten by RMT.

Which just means you are incredibly lazy and refuse to do anything to get gold in game.

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

I will repeat again, Black lotus are the least of our issues. Sure, they cost a bit, but that’s not the problem. It’s elemental sharpening stones, it’s mongoose, its mighty rage potions, its greater arcane elixirs, its greater firepower potions, its mageblood potions, it’s any sort of protection potion. That’s just a short list of the problem. Flasks are absolutely not the issue on era. They’re expensive, but that’s not where you spend the most gold.

1000g some huge amount

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.

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

@Äpathy-mankrik

So?

So, contrary to what your post says I’m not just talking about SOD. I have experience on classic. Whitemane in particular is filled with GDKPs and the economy is ruined because of it. You can keep denying that I lack experience with GDKPs but when you consider I played on Whitemane which is infamous for them then your argument just falls apart.

[Iron-pagle]

can you humor me and tell me how much gold 4 flasks and 40 sp pots are on whitemane?

1000g some huge amount

Pro tip mounts aren’t even in yet and in phase 2 they’ll only be what 50g since the cost is being reduced?

[Garbagecan-lava-lash]

thats it, im starting a gdkp group rn just 2 spite zaigo’s block text posting. pst to join, all items go for a 1k min! epics 2k! tier 1.5k!

[Drinknblink-benediction]

Interesting, why tho?

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

4 flasks of supreme power cost around 3k right now. 40 sp pots cost 2k

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

Thousands, easily.

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

I gave you a pretty long explanation last night about it. It was mass gdkps. Now I’m not gonna claim your experience is wrong, it could be different on WotLK. But that’s what happened here.

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

The toxicity of this thread is mirrored by the toxicity of GDKPs. I wonder why…

[Iron-pagle]

this is era im assuming?

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

@Ziryus-pagle

It’s more that we’re calling you out on thinking that 1000g is some huge amount that could only possibly be gotten by RMT.

Nope. Never said that. It was said earlier that people are only RMTing to buy small things and that it’s for things like buying their 1k mount and stuff and that everyones ‘too afraid’ to buy the large sums of gold that would be required to bid on GDKPs. I’m saying it’s ridiculous that these people think that way.

[Ziryus-pagle]

And here’s the nifty part there’s nothing stopping you from going out farming the mats and then selling them for those same prices.

And virtually all items in GDKP’s also don’t go for those huge amounts of gold you claim can only be gotten from RMT.

[Intru-dalaran]

GDKP is fine, RMT going unpunished is the problem. Don’t blame the players for using a loot system, blame blizz for not enforcing the rules.
