I played 60 on vanilla era as well. My experience is more than you’re letting on.
Not surprising in the least.
Iron:
go up in price
because of this mentality
dont care
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.

You could just play the game and ignore them, do it for your health
If someone goes off and clears out all the raid consumables because they just got handed 5000 gold on vanilla in a GDKP then yes the raid consume prices are going to adjust based on that diminished supply.
I mean you’re playing wow
Punchboi:
playing wow
oh wow i am so surprised by your use of language

You’re not a very good troll
Maybe on era it’s like that because of the way Black lotus works but I don’t play that version all I know is what you’re saying does not hold true to the version I play.
And you don’t need to do a gdkp to be able to do that anybody with gold in your example can do that…
Those servers have been out for 5 years.
Yeah some just aren’t on that spectrum I guess.
And when that actually happens then you can complain.
It hasn’t been an issue the entirety of classic though so…
Do you just have that wall of text I’m not going to read as your signature?
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?
