That’s a ridiculous assertion when chats and groups exist. It isn’t difficult at all to offer to pay someone for consumeables at a much more reasonable price that’s still worth their while.
on lockout
dont care
ban gdkps
ofcourse they have a choice lmao, its wow,
“uhh guys can someone help me? i logged in at 7:59 for a raid at 8 on a tuesday and ran to the ah to buy some consumes and they were more expensive, those darn gold buyers”
yeah its a giant leap to think gdkps are rmt laundering

In an alternate reality we woulda been friends ziago.
That would require communication and using the AH is a lot easier than communicating with someone and getting consumes made when you have a mountain of gold that you have nothing else to spend on.
That would require people caring about it enough to communicate with people about it. They’d rather just pay since the gold doesn’t matter to them cause they have so much.
I can’t believe the price of peacebloom all because some guy bought a ring in ICC.
if only, could still happen.

Its kinda funny to see a guy explain an economy in ruin by describing what has happened every single tuesday night since mid vanilla, the people who somehow don’t know that the consumes they used last week will be used tonight and they have a raid in 4 minutes and get spiked on some of their raid consumes = a master manipulator behind the scenes funded by gdkps is buying out the auction house
If that’s the case, then what, exactly, is the issue? You framed your point as if people were being excluded from content due to the prices of consumables.
That’s part of a running joke on era actually. “I saw him out there picking the peacebloom day and night, that’s how he afforded that 1m Gressil”

Can you provide proof that bots keep inflation under check? On my server Atiesh consumables have gone up more 200%.
Speed Pots in week 8 of Wotlk were 8g, today 19.5g
Flask of Endless Rage were 10g gold, today they are 33g99s.
Inflation happens over time as more gold gets injected into the economy but with bots farming, buyers doing RMT and GDKPs pumping insane gold into players pockets it accelerates the inflation.
It’s all sh t and you know it. You are personally benefitting though so you will never admit it.

This is why I farm a few days out of the week, but most of my AH listings fall on Tuesdays.
Inflated prices. I see no actual issue with the inflation cause I can pretty easily survive here, as can anyone that tries. The argument is that GDKPs don’t cause inflation. I’m arguing the contrary with my experience.
The answer is simple really, harder content x ban wave x bots taken away from wotlk and added to sod, a speed pot on benediction was as low as 4 gold during togc, that’s cheaper than a tbc haste potion in tempest keep
interested to know how he benefits tho, go on
GDKPs do not spontaneously generate gold, they move gold from players to other players. The AH sees orders of magnitude more in transactions than GDKPs could ever achieve. Prices go up as demand goes up. Prices decrease as supply increases. Devaluation of gold doesn’t happen because players trade gold, devaluation of gold occurs in part due to RMT and in part due to the game acting as an infinite minting press.
all rmters go into gdkps

So then the solution is for Blizz to more proactively, and more harshly, punish those who buy and sell gold.
Banning GDKPs just means you still have RMT, and just as bad as it was before, you just don’t see GDKP ads. I’m also not sure why you think anyone needs to “launder” gold, WoW isn’t irl.
