Yeah but no more Scourge invasion event and no more gate openings I get to experience. 
I want the Argent Dawn tabard!
Would have liked TBC sooner then having to play through another 1-60 again BUT really good decisions on lfg, no GDKP’s and starting with lower amount of servers.

As an Era player who wants it to survive, I’m relieved there is no GDKP on the fresh realms. That means Whitemane will continue to offer something unique and will survive. I don’t want all the 60s I leveled to be on a dead server.
This will also hopefully buy us a respite from the GDKP haters on this forum. Plus, it seems to tacitly confirm that GDKP will continue on Whitemane. I like being able to run Naxx to meet my gold needs.

Why on earth even have a new server? its already questionable with the low population, but this at least forces progression like the other servers, eliminating a lot of the easy ways that the raiders cheesed raids in HC the first time around because the servers started in P6.

Nothing will make this disappear, but they CLAIM to have cut down on it greatly and say it made hunting it down easier. I can see how it can help cut down on it in some way as there are less reasons to buy gold. What is really needed however, are GMs to police servers and the ban of boosting. Honestly a handful of good GMs could keep GDKPs healthy.

This is exactly the kind of 
eating I’m talking about. People need to stop pretending like it’s ok. If you want your games to be better then demand that they do better.

They cut down on it “greatly” in an absolute sense, since a significant portion of players stopped playing altogether. You can corroborate this by viewing the total player numbers on warcraft logs from pre-gdkp ban to current. In a relative sense, I doubt they made any progress. The “positive feedback” is from the subset of remaining players, who were always going to raid in a guild environment anyway. It is flawed logic.
This was their answer to demanding they do better lol.

Sure but you seem to be accepting it. Don’t accept.
Please do not cave on GDKP ban.
Also, clarification on the LFG tool, I assume it’s the no teleport to instance type.
Also also, 1 Realm per REGION per Type? or 1 Realm for EU, 1 Realm for NA, per Type, etc?

I’m not saying it worked well, but it had an effect that they apparently wanted to see.
No HC TBC progression is the absolute strangest move. and the reasoning is just as strange. Huge L for the HC players as per the usual.

Not a fan of GDKPs so it doesn’t really hurt me, but I am for GMs.

You mean to say the way the game was meant to be played? How is that flawed logic?

The SoD stylke Battlegrounds should be implemented so people do not Premade farm non premades again. So those who dont want to form premades can PvP in peace, while those who want to form premades dont just get free honor.
Also consider…
Paladins and Shamans for both factions from launch

I can see what they mean, in a perfect world GDKP is a useful loot system. But there is no perfect world, so there will always be give and take. In this situation the GDKP lovers bite the dust on this. I honestly don’t care about GDKPs, but on Whitemane I’ve seen plenty of swipers running around so I’m still a little sour. Still feel for the actual legit players who like GDKP, but nothing can be perfect.
Had to edit rq.
Honestly, they need to deal with boosting first.
