Well i dont see anything harmful in them
The review bombers made it unreliable as hell really.
OMG this game is trash!
Okay, its been out for like 2 hours. Even sp games have some build up and need time to actually get somewhere.
Or its the usual…it sucks. so descriptive.
When I ding games I at least point in bits about mechanics. Like with crafting in games. A big ding with me is the coded you can only get the items from 1 thing.
We want you to get wood from this…only. As I see 20 other sources of wood not even trying. that usually gets points off the score real fast.
This false argument again… man I am so tired of it.
OG Wrath is when GDKP’s first started gaining popularity.
Really, it’s that OG Wrath had multiple of millions of players pretty content with it with a very large casual base, while Classic Wrath has barely half a million engaging with end game content who are mostly sweaty poopsocking try hards and a dev team that is just doing what they have to.

They care about milking players, and GDKPs encourages gold buying. You won’t get much sympathy on the forums either because a lot of players (probably most) are ecstatic about the fact they can buy gold and buy gear.
And the people saying GDKPs were back in Wrath clearly didn’t play original Wrath. I’m sure there were a handful now and then. No one talked about them. I’d never heard the term until Classic. As opposed to Wrath Classic, which is dominated by GDKPs. They run the game.
And yes, they absolutely should be banned. I was ambivalent in the past, but you can’t deny the damage they do to the game. But that’ll never happen. Blizz likes them. They encourage gold buying, which Blizz is all about. And the players like them as well. True Classic lovers…are mostly gone. What’s left are the whales. So that’s who Classic is designed for.

post from 2010 about GDKP’s
they also used to be called pog group (Pot Of Gold) it has been in the game since it was created. blizzard has stated they will not removed gdkp’s as it is a player created loot system.
Crazy you link that article and people back in 2010 saying it pushed people too RMT.
GDKP are why wotlk classic is so dead. Just people playing casino.
You try to play, join lfg and see just barraged with gdkp spam

honestly do not know where you are pulling this info from i raid every week across 4-5 toons and always run ms-os / SR never been in a gpkp. do i see them running every now and then sure are they the only groups running god no.
if you actually spend time reading the reviews from the website you linked 0 of them are about GDKP’s majority of them are about no genders?. No RDF? Terrible LFG? Heroic +? and bots ?
litterally no complaints about GDKP then you come in saying its GDKP that is the problem ??? where are you pulling this information from ???

You’ve yet to explain why they are bad. How do GDKPs affect anyone outside of GDKPs?
Gamers back then were in awe of WoTLK. In 2023 games realized the rose tinted glasses are real and they are thick lol

it’s a lie ppl say to deflect from the fact that the game is p2w af now
saying there were gdkps is technically true even if there were only ever 2 prior to classic. The statement is worthless.
gdkps in classic are an epidemic. it’s a ridiculous comparison.

Gold inflation through extreme botting. Millions upon millions of gold are being injected into the system by bots that run 24/7. Things that used to cost 4-5k are doubled or even tripled in Wrath Classic. A BoE shield has been like 12-19k since Ulduar came out, Battered Hilt which was a 251 weapon was only 5k in Wrath Proper. Runed Orbs have been 300-400 per orbwhen in Wrath they were only around 100 or less outside of when they were current. You could get Crusader Orbs for less than Runed Orbs but once ToC ends they are going to go back up because less supply but a demand is still going to be there.
Gear going for 300k within GDKP’s affects people outside of those GDKP runs. Its almost guaranteed that the person bought gold from botters. A single character can get like 500g a day from quests (wouldnt be the only source of income) but that would take like 600 days to be able to gain that, and this was done in Naxx.
More gold on servers will mean costs increase outside of set vendor prices made by Blizzard.

I truly dont want to be combative but we must have been playing two games. Either that, or the ‘culture’ on my home server was different.
My experience was numerous pugs, that either had gear score requirements or numerous GDKPs. Oh, and people complained on the forums back then as well.
No they weren’t. Maybe on your server? Bleeding hollow which was very popular back then had zero GDKPs

Well that is what I said…maybe it was my server. Of course, I’m not the only one pointing it out.
Maybe the other posters that remember it the same as I do were all on my server???
Man we must be in completely different areas!
I bought my BoE shield for my alt for 3k a few months ago. I see them 4.5k-5k regularly.
This is called supply and demand. Literally has nothing to do with GDKPs, it is going to happen regardless because people kinda like doing current content.
So outside of your gross over exaggerations lets get to reality Do people in GDKPs buy money? Yes.
But is it hurting the economy that bad? Not really. The money they buy goes into loot which then gets spread around inside the GDKP and is used to buy more loot which then gets spread around again to buy more loot ect ect ect.
Its a self sustaining economy. The cost of mats is amazing, the cost of supplies is amazing. Its simple enough to farm everything you need and make more than enough to supply it. There is nothing to buy in wow outside of maybe a mammoth mount. Its not like people are buying gold to corner markets on the AH since the cost of raiding has never been cheaper.
Yikes I hope this was a joke. If you are basing all your income off dailies then you deserve everything happening to you. In the time you took to do all those dailies you couldve earned 5k easy instead of 500. This is a player issue not a GDKP
Ive checked the shield on medium pop servers and high pop servers. Its regularly 12-15k as high as 19-22k depening on the time and the lowest ive seen is 6.7k which doesnt last long.
These inflated prices are diectly the cause of increased gold from GDKP runs that are being supplied by gold farmers.
Thats also not a gross over exaggeration. Items have went for over 300k in naxx. The payours to other nembers were 70-75k gold. Other items have went pretty high as well. This is all documented and it is hirting the economy since it is why more gold is being injected into the economy. Swipe card, purchase gear, split pot, increased gold being injected into the economy. The gold doesnt stay in GDKP runs and its dumb to even suggest it does.
And no, im not joking. But you left an important part of that quote out like people like you always do because they have no argument. You are trying to argue something that was already aggressed. Not to mention if stuff is so cheap as you say, then how could someone get that much during wrath to compete against someone that buys gold? The answer is they dont. Especially not in naxx then the tourny grounds werent around.
Nope. Wrong. had the exact same system in last time, only to a lesser exact. You people just didn’t call it GDKP back then cuz GDKP is from a different MMO and has been around for well over a decade now.
No arena teams, content releasing differently, WoW tokens, server and faction changes that are up 100% of the time instead of only part of the time. Those are the things that ruined Wrath this time around. Oh and the fact that they have bugs in this version that that did not have last version.
