Why are you allowing GDKP in SoD?

@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.

@Therontus-emerald-dream

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

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.

So, contrary to what your post says I’m not just talking about SOD

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

Speak on your SoD character and not your WotLK GDKP haven character

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

You don’t speak on your SoD character

@Khanzy-chaos-bolt

This is a SoD thread.

You’re a quotable moron.

[Zaigo-bleeding-hollow]

@Ziryus-pagle

virtually all items

because its the end of the phase.
wait till phase 2 prices

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.

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

Last I heard, Nax GDKPs on Whitemane were seeing payouts in excess of 60k

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

Yeah, a gressil went for well over a million not too long ago. That’s 5 freaking gold caps

[Iron-pagle]

assuming you guys are talking about era.
cuz why would anyone pay 600g for a supreme power flask on wotlk

when did these prices really start going up?

[Drinknblink-benediction]

Imagine playing era still.

[Zaigo-bleeding-hollow]

@Iron-pagle

start going up?

immediately

dont care
ban gdkps

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

Era is the best version of WoW

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

I don’t disagree with this, that’s why I said it’s not impossible to come up in this economy. There are benefits to the inflated economy actually. Respec costs and repair bills no longer matter. Epic mounts are not a problem at all. Bank slot costs don’t matter at all. But arguing that GDKPs dont cause inflation is ridiculous.

[Ziryus-pagle]

@Ashenhorn-crusader-strike

Era is the best version of WoW

Then why are you on the SoD forum?

[Therontus-emerald-dream]

Because… SoD is an expansion of Era…

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

Elixir of Greater Firepower 37g
Flask of Chromatic Resistance 995g
Flask of Petrification 700g
Flask of Supreme Power 600g
Flask of Distilled Wisdom 550g
Flask of the Titans 473g

[Ashenhorn-crusader-strike]

I’m hoping SoD emerges as the new best.

And the era economy is beyond repair and horrific

[Ziryus-pagle]

/shrug it’s fine on my server.

[Khanzy-chaos-bolt]

Bare faced lie but okay. Used to those by now.

[Iron-pagle]

on whitemane classic era? what server?
