Boosts aren’t against the rules. How is this a point? That clearly isn’t what blizzard cares about.
Bots go where the people are. This is what you all are mad about. They’re already swarming fresh and inflating everything. Without any GDKPs.
Roster boss is less an issue with GDKP. That’s why so many people (nearly the entirety of era) approves of gdkps. Only the seasonal warriors who want to lvl a character to 45 and quit are upset about gdkps. They will be gone before this server reaches its end point. Blizzard should care about the longterm players, not these people.
This makes me laugh. How do I argue with people who make dumb posts like you? Do you just think the whole games swipers until this server was made? GDKPs exist in every other version of the game, except sod (which is basically dead).
gdkp itself is not to blame, just ban them if they are selling gold instead of banning the gdkp system
that can’t cause inflation, what can cause inflation is only the bots which farm raw gold 24/7, but if bots didn’t exist in game then gdkp would never inflate economy, & btw some servers in original tbc 2007, such as magthridon which had Nihilum had tons of gdkp’s and the economy was never inflated because bots back then was not this huge as it is in current classic, i’m telling u this because i did play in that server for a year and can link u screenshot for my character in there 18 years ago.
those people who join gdkp’s if they are boosters then they diffidently cleared that raid with their guild so they are part of raiding guilds and if they are buyers then they never wanted to be in raiding guild, people who want to be in raiding guild or wanna be social will be in raiding guild and will be social even if gdkp existed in game.
again, just instantly ban bots and ban any gold buyer / seller and gdkp will be perfectly fine.
some people always valued their game play time, in the past even in every server you can always find pugs that leave raids after 1~2wipes because they do not want to lose gold or time, this was a thing and gdkp did add nothing toward that mind-set players.
as i said i was never a pro gdkp but blizzard should just ban bots/rmt instead of banning gdkp.
lol did you read what you just typed??? I am not even trying to argue with you, you can’t even put together a logical statement. I am just laughing at you and your attempts to defend swiping and attack anyone who is against it. No, there is no argument here, just laughter. LOL.
I can only say the same thing so many ways. Little brother its time for you to go do your English homework. Come back to this post in a few years and we can discuss it further.
Im trying to make you think of why this opinion (“swipers cause GDKPs”) is wrong. Are you incapable of critical thought? Like, perhaps, you could have asked yourself “have they ever tried banning swipers and did it reduce GDKP?” Then you could have used something like, I don’t know, google? And a few minutes later learned they have, in fact, done ban waves on swipers in other versions of the game. And it did, in fact, not eliminate or change GDKPs much at all.
Then, being the smart person you are, you could say “well maybe my hypothesis is incorrect. Maybe swipers don’t cause GDKPs. So what does?” Then you could have just reread this thread to learn why people DO like GDKPs.
These GDKP threads are so amusing. They are all the same too. Person makes verbose post defending swiping. Person thinks because they spoke many words you either agree with them or you didnt read it. Person resorts to ad hominem logic fallacy with anyone who disagrees. LOL. But seriously, I can’t feed the trolls anymore right now, someone else take over.
How is this any different than dungeon running? I’ve spent an enormous amount of time farming prebis and still haven’t finished because there are times when I lose the roll on gear.
Sometimes my items don’t drop. Welcome to WoW. You must be new here.
Now this is some made up BS right here. First of all, Blizzard has never permabanned swipers. You get your gold taken and you may get a 14 day suspension.
And then there’s this totally fabricated nonsense about how GDKPs were unchanged right after these “ban waves.” Let’s see that data.
Yes, botting is banned but one of the measures Blizzard has taken to reduce the effectiveness of botting is banning GDKPs in the anniversary realms, thereby reducing the demand for botted gold to pay for items via GDKP.
GDKP buyers are a ready market for botters who sell raw gold to them for retail rates and buy raw gold from GDKP RLs & MTs at wholesale rates.
You may not like guilds but they are the core social structure of wow, particularly for realms that try and get as close to the vanilla experience as possible. GDKPs make all wipes have an implicit gold per hour cost for raiders who have gotten gear from conventional raids and are beginning to dip their toe into GDKP raids to make money as carries. This extends to normal game experiences such as deaths, having to go AFK or PVP outside the instance.
GDKPs subvert the intended loot mechanism of the game because wow has soulbound and bop loot. Yes, RMT carries will exist and so will bots but GDKP strongly empowered RMT trade and botting and therefore, while GDKP enjoyers don’t want to admit it, just like multiboxing enjoyers didn’t want to admit it, it’s a good thing for the game overall that they are gone.
