Idk man. Id be fine with gdkp if we had harsh and regular punishments for gold buyers. We wont get rid of the bots but you can stop ppl from buying it.

Otherwise i dont get why trading in game currency for items shouldnt be allowed.

Unfortunately gold buying is rampant and that makes gdkps exploitable p2w for the buyers in a way harsher way then rmt already is.

I find GDKP is just the worse version of it. Items have a set value on the Auction house, you look it up and know what to buy it out with. In a GDKP scenario, the value is just a guess, you won't know till your in the raid already when it drops and your bidding. This encourages people to buy more gold than normal just in case, especially if its a desirable and rare raid drop.
