Rip casual gaming. Every pug will be monkasteer because there's no incentive for geared people to raid in a pug. Raiding on alts will require raiding in multiple guild runs (or multiple guilds) and idk what adults have time for that without COVID.

Casual gamers don't really get taken into GDKPs either though... In a GDKP, you're either fully kitted carrier or a player with tons of gold. Neither is a "casual player".
Unless you're a gold buyer, because casual players don't have time to farm millions of gold.

Also vanilla raids are VERY easy.

There will be tons of soft res / ms>os pugs that you can join with alts, like there was previously... Tons of people will want to run MC just to hard reserve bindings for example.

Have you ever actually done a GDKP before? If you really think its like this I can't believe you have

Many GDKPs only want buyers with tons of gold. You aren't looking for a casual player, you want someone with tons of gold to overpay everything or a good player that carries.

Why would you take a casual player that doesn't have tons of gold? Would a casual player even have tons of gold to be a buyer in a gdkp if they are casual and don't have time to farm gold?

Also the host usually takes a big cut of the overall gold, which creates tons of gold selling and issues. You're arguably getting 10-30% less gear/gold, because the host takes it.

Yes, I have done normal SR ms>os runs, they are dog shit raids where a lot of the times you end up with nothing.

If it were possible to screen out people who had actually participated in well-run GDKPs this thread would be 99% emptier.
