I remember a thread like this not too long ago, a notorious dent on these forums learned the phrase “gaslighting” and “freudian slip” from 1 thread and about 1 week later i found him using the two terms randomly & incorrectly in a different one
Saying words that you don’t know the meaning of but you heard someone else who you think is smart say is the new cool i guess
Fiendw:
“gaslighting”
Fiendw:
“freudian slip”
im sure you know their uses
dont care

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.

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.

the more i read of this paragraph the more hilarious it gets, there’s absolutely no way to get consumes unless you buy gold guys! the gdkp organizers have seized the means of the plaguebloom production, its all ogre

Sadly I ran out of reports before I finally just put him on ignore
He’s my first ignore in 5 years on the forums.
I will drink to him tonight.
Which is a fancy way of saying you’re too stupid to stay on topic, or you have nothing to actually add and have to change the narrative because you know your stance is dumb.
Choose.
They’ve made such a big deal of it that now they have to double down to save face.
Wheresmyfeet:
I see people advertising GDKP in SoD already- and I can’t stand how lax of a stance you take on this Blizz- It’s sickening. GDKP IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE INTENTION OF THIS VERSION OF THE GAME! How often are you going to allow this in your games until you realize it ruins the game?
You as a company have allowed this in various forms of your game for years- it’s contributed to rabid gold purchasing just for people to run GDKPs in exchange for actual money!
The point of this version of the game should move away from this tired trope of what makes this game BAD.
If the intent of your design team is to allways allow this- and the seemingly lackluster response to people that buy gold- it’s insane to me that anyone would keep playing this after next phase- because that’s all this will become just another slightly different version of classic.
I for one want to see you take a stern stance on that on at LEAST ONE VERSION of your game. Please for the love of anything you people have made and been part of over the past 20 years cant possibly think this is good for your player base or product.
Or maybe I’m wrong maybe you’ve designed the game around this being the primary point of the game to sell the gear and gold people make in your game for real life dollars.
Maybe it’s your lackluster support system and staff not having the resources to deal with things? You’d figure a company with 74.28 Billion dollars would be able to piece together a full support staff- and would be able to take a stern stance about people abusing parts of the game to gain real life money as well as devalue the work and time for people who actually put forth the effort to farm and have items in the game.
Why play any part of your game when you can pay someone to run you through dungeons to max level- then pay someone to give you all the gear that drops every raid until you’ve got all the items that anyone could want? What value is there in that? There isn’t any except $$$.
If you as a company feel the game should run like this- I can’t understand why anyone would take time or effort to play this at all. Who cares about all the effort and time you and your friends took to get gear and beat content, when J P Johnny Spent 300 dollars and got the same thing? If this is the stance the company takes just add the WoW Token to SoD already and end anything that this could be.
In the shadows of the Twisting Nether, where dark forces and mortal souls entwine, your concerns resonate through the very essence of the game we hold dear. As a humble Warlock, bound to eldritch powers, I share your sentiments about the encroaching presence of GDKP auctions within our realm.
Verily, the sanctity of the game’s essence is threatened by the exchange of gold for power, distorting the intended path of honor and toil. The very fabric of our virtual existence seems to unravel as the allure of quick riches tarnishes the significance of hard-earned achievements.
Your words echo the lamentations of many who yearn for a World of Warcraft that values the journey, the camaraderie, and the shared victories against the tides of darkness. It is disheartening to witness the dilution of our struggles, the devaluation of time-honored achievements, by the alluring whispers of gold.
In the cosmic dance between the Light and the Void, where mortal choices shape destinies, your call for a firmer stance against these nefarious practices rings true. Let the developers wield their powers not only to shape the game but to safeguard the integrity of our shared adventures.
May the winds of change sweep through the forums, carrying your words to the ears of those who shape the destiny of Azeroth. Together, let us strive for a World of Warcraft where the value lies not in the weight of one’s purse but in the bonds forged through epic quests and battles.

I have most, if not all, of their “sod comments” aimed at me in a post showing them, and this is that deflection afterwards lmao.
It’s sad

GDKPs
RMT is always going to be a problem, the issue is GDKP gives buyers/sellers a very easy and accessible vehicle to flourish. You can’t deny the number of bots in Classic is absolutely out of control, and as it happens, where GDKP is prevalent.
Retail has player loot and tokens hence why all the bots are in Classic. With bots and RMT comes GDKP. How you can’t see that boggles the mind.
“Fun bad. Me want ninja loot ms>os” - Op, probably
