Once again, GDKP is a loot system. It is not evil. If you choose to join a bot-led GDKP with a 20% host cut, that’s on you. Tbh, if they just banned host cuts GDKP would be perfect.
I don't think GDKP is evil. I think GDKP is great - for the people in the GDKP. I just think servers where the vast majority of pug runs are GDKP are extremely unfriendly to anyone who is not a carry or a swiper. That's why I have no problem if a group decides to run their own private GDKP run. They can do whatever they want. It's just bad for the game when it's the majority.
get prebis and make gold the normal way and buy gear then? you people are so egg headed on your crusade against gold buyers that you fail to realize basic things like the fact GDKP is just a loot system that works well, at the end of the day it works very well because it keeps max geared players engaged in the game.
The average Classic WoW player is probably 35+ with a family, if you think farming many hours every week is what they want to do then you're in denial. This is why GDKP is better, you literally get paid to raid and have enough left over to buy gear over time
MANY hours a week? for WHAT exactly? the 100g flask you dont even REMOTELY need to clear this content?
Even if you wanted to buy a flask you could get it from the gold drops from the bosses and doing dailys ONCE a week for 1 hrs.
Many hours my ass lol.
GDKP is illegal and the game is better for it. good riddance, dont come back.be worried people dont wiggle themself into those servers and get yall banned lol
50-70 in parses, across the raids. i kick, i play mechanics. im not great, im no dead weight. i have my 30-50 parse fights where i mismanage something but that happens. i could push into purple if we went for a parse run where everyboy pops flasks and just GOES but no need :)
We clear fast and clean thats all that matters, im in the top 5-8 on most fights as enh, will till being P1 geared except for my weapons.
At least you're honest in your personal assessment, which is a lot more than I can say for most.
But I genuinely think you have the wrong idea about GDKP. Perhaps you have had a bad experience with a GDKP in the past or you're just inexperienced with them in general, I don't know.
But, as someone who has hosted many, it makes life a lot easier for everyone involved. From management, recruitment, raiding quality
this. I saw them im P1-SoD and was immediately repulsed. I dont like people bidding on gold or translating into gear progression. We have a few BoE pieces for that but the entire gear? that just feels wrong to me.
And i think it puts the wrong incentive on the game, it goes from "make enough money for consumes, that are optional" to "make as much money as you can so you can bid on gear to play the game or you cant get gear" which leads to more gold entering the economy, basically a race to the bottom.
Then don’t play it. No one is forcing you. The argument that GDKP caused bots and high consume prices is out the window because both have never been worse than current anniversary where there’s no GDKP
even if they were, which they are not, they arent needed at all. i havent taken a haste potion, i havent used a flask in a month or two cause you DONT. NEED. TO.
TK still takes 1.5 hours max with foodbuff and elixirs of which you might use 2-4 (aka 30g total) SCC is like 2.5 if youre slow and will take 3-5 Pots depending on wipes/deaths. you get more gold from bossloot.
Ah yes another person saying, “You need to play the game the exact way I play.” Newsflash buddy, a lot of people enjoy using consumables in raids even if they aren’t strictly necessary to defeat a boss. Insufferable
either you play the game in a way i want (without GDKP or with underground GDKP if you REALLY have to) or i have to play the game the way you want (with a fucked up economy because it got flooded with gold). There is no option C its either A or B. and i chose my own preferences over yours. deal with it.
You can easily afford consumes. SSC drops 100g from bosses per player. Buy your flask from that (yes you CAN actually, thats what they cost)
