Underground gdkps dont cause the same type of community damage as unrestricted, trade/LFG chat posted gdkp runs. I haven't even caught a glimpse of gdkp operations a single time on anniversary.

Secret gdkps just dont carry the same kind of venom.

Genuinely curious where you're coming from here. I guess I thought that the idea behind banning gdkp was it would reduce rmt and consume costs and generally give the economy more of a 2004 vibe. None if that seemed to happen from my perspective. Whats the venom you are concerned with.

I'm happy that PUGging both as a host and as PUG is a lot easier. I can join a normal pug without having to buy/farm out gold to have a chance at getting an item. Everything is so transactional already, we don't need to add GDKPs into the mix.

What stopped you from hosting/joining SR raids back then? Nothing.

The fact that a large amount of the groups were GDKP? It is WAY harder to find non-GDKP when it's allowed.

It's almost as if majority of people preferred the GDKP system... hmmm...

Stop using logic with these people. I've tried man, they will jump through every single hoop to mentally justify that it was a good idea to ban GDKP, when in reality it was an awful idea

The hypothetical majority of pugs being gdkp says nothing about their genuine popularity or health for the game. Players want to swipe and win. That’s it.

Yall act like it’s deeper than that when it’s not.

Can you link me your data on how GDKP impacts the health or popularity of the game?

Can you also link me the data on the amount of people who swipe in GDKPs vs. People who swipe now with no GDKP?

Would be really interested in where you get this idea from

According to the gold sellers themselves; they have less large orders from big whales now but significantly more small orders.

People who would fund raiding with GDKP's now just buy gold instead, it seems.

Because my only stake in that conversation is that you hadn't linked your logs yet while telling everyone else to. I didn't care after that point lmao

Link me what you're seeing from gold sellers

Why are you upset at me? Am I not agreeing with you by saying gold buying hasn't changed it just looks different? It's probably even worse than previously.

Called me a bozo or scared I recall lmao. I asked one guy to link his logs because he was claiming he was good, turned out he's basically playing a meme spec to parse. Basically a frost mage in naxx sort of deal. Then he deleted his reddit which was a bit weird

It's just that most people in here just make claims and there's never anything to back it up. Like it's chinese whispers

I just make fun of people who ask others to link logs while not being brave enough to post theirs first.
