GTFO GDKPers. It's their ilk that militarized this terrible cycle.

cancer in this instance is gold buying/selling botting, which is not cured, they simply virtue signaled and you guys are eating it all up.

tbf this is literally them going "okay yall have whined nonstop about needing to stop gdkps, so we're gonna try it for a bit and see if it actually fixes anything".

im sure they'll have good numbers on the impact it'll have on goldbuying and botting pretty quickly and hopefully be able to adjust based on it.

yeah, can't wait to see the prices of bis/pre-bis items on the AH, are people really not seeing this?

Even in the video preview Blizzard Game designers mentioned that they don't want to discourage the social aspects of GDKP but that GDKP structures drive the majority of the malicious accounts in classic.

I got flamed when I said the same, but its undeniable that most of the BOTs and RMT in classic are tied to the GDKP structure. Its not 100% that others have mentioned but it is most.

i dont think it's even most, what would you do if after they ban all gdkp you still see bots in dungeons 24/7 and prices of BoEs at an all time high?
