Therontus:
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:
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.
Last I heard, Nax GDKPs on Whitemane were seeing payouts in excess of 60k
Yeah, a gressil went for well over a million not too long ago. That’s 5 freaking gold caps
assuming you guys are talking about era.
when did these prices really start going up?
Imagine playing era still.
Era is the best version of WoW

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.
Then why are you on the SoD forum?
Because… SoD is an expansion of Era…

I’m hoping SoD emerges as the new best.
And the era economy is beyond repair and horrific

Woooooah it’s almost like the conversation goes in different places because you repeat the same dumb sh repeatedly. Fancy that. You’re braindead.
rmt or laundering rmt are the same difference.

The only reasons GDKPs would cause inflation are the exact same reason the AH eventually causes inflation; greater throughput. GDKPs on their own don’t spontaneously generate gold that didn’t exist prior, and will be marginal next to the AH with or without RMT.
On era, the good gdkps make sure they have at least a few “big buyers” so that the pot is good.
