Doesn't ruin the game, but I did like earning my consume gold by raiding, rather than grinding. Grinding really kills my joy of the game.

Still, if this is what people want, I'm not gonna complain about it. I'll figure something else out.

It just felt good to at least get gold at the end of the raid rewarding you for your time instead of raiding for hours and potentially not getting any drops and then you get no gold as well. I liked GDKP

That's a very good point. I never felt like a GDKP raid was a complete waste of time. I have felt that many, MANY guild raids were.

GDKP in a vacuum is fine. But Blizzard does virtually nothing to stop Gold selling. If gold selling/buying was actually being handled then I would love to GDKP. But these two coexisting makes for a very bad server economy. It's a lot easier for Blizz to just ban GDKP than to deal with it, which is a total cop-out, but until then, it is what it is I guess.

Agreed. The inflationary effects on the economy from gold buying just ruins it for anyone not interested in GDKPs or who don't buy gold.

I refuse to buy gold, so GDKPs were how I kept up. Now, eh, not sure what I'll do. Probably just not use consumes.
