  1. i hope sod is just a testing for retail so they can see that not being able to pay to play the game brings more customers and they can implement it in retail and make wow good again

  2. 'there is no way to get rid of botters completely'
    it is trivial to get rid of financial botters completely.
    you remove the financial incentive.
    how do you do that?
    how do people buy gold?
    why does that matter?
    how do people buy gold?
    idk google or some shit?
    yes so you set up a fake account, and go to a website, and buy gold from the website. then you login and recieve the gold, and follow back where the gold originated. then you ban those who gave gold. those who bot instances will have lots and lots of instance lockouts, and they will all be the same one.
    well how do you distinguish a bot from a player?
    the easiest method is to check if the client runs 24/7, followed by whether it is a low dungeon. another way of detecting a bot is the precision of player movements. another is to ban gdkps and have anyone who participates get a weeklong ban. to do this you have to look at the trade windows and see if epics and gold are traded at the same time or in rapid succession. then you look to see if rare items are being used as a covert in game digital currency. if some item is rare due to a low drop chance it can be used in leu of gold for real money trading. next you get rid of the auctionhouse's abbility to price your own items. replace that with creating per item sales velocity, and liquidity. when you put an item on the ah for x above vendor price, how quickly does it sell? what is the implied value of the item? continually adjust the price of items over the course of some auctions. take item pricing out of the hands of players, so items cant be price gouged. this will have a deflationary effect. also have items have price ceilings. like have the highest price thing on the ah possible be 100g. then whenever items which have traditionally been worth moret han that trade directly for gold, ban the trader.
    the solution is trivial. you dont focus on doing things ingame. you use selenium and ban entire networks of gold sellers. you dont focus on ingame players, the botters would use vpns. you focus on doing a financial version of a ddos. beyond that, you do need to do things ingame, but the main thing can be automated by bots. you dont ddos their payment services, that would be a felony. you dont engage in financial fraud either, when you buy gold they get their money. you just make it the last transaction they do while beign able to provide services in game.
    again and succintly, you bot the botters. they harvest black lotus blooms, and you harvest accounts to ban. you make it riskier to do gold selling.

    that said, much like older methods you do need to give time so you arent banning thousands of accounts, but hundreds of thousands. you arent trying to get rid of some of the botters- you are trying to reduce it to zero. this is teh real gold sink.

  3. I bet they are using AI to help them find these innovative solutions to all these classic problems we’ve had since forever. I know I use it in my business and it’s been a game changer.

  4. I don't love GDKP, but it is awesome to get some gold here and there when there is nothing very useful that drops in a raid but you are still rewarded for spending your time slogging through a raid.

  5. People who hate gdkp sound like moms in the 80s doing the “war on drugs”. It’s the only loot system where everyone is satisfied, you either get gold or you get gear you never lose a roll to someone who sucks and waste your time. Do a better job perma banning all gold sellers and buyers so that we don’t have to get screwed by corrupt guild loot.

  6. Also for your story in that exact same scenario you could have just as easily lost a roll as anyone, but in gdkp now you have a big payout and your chance at the next one is much higher.

  7. Another issue with GDKPS is the toxic and crappy people it brings. They're not here to play the game, they're here to feel above everyone else. The organizers are quitting left and right because their cash cow rmt is gone.

  8. This video has convinced me to try out SOD, from dealing with bots, GDKP out of the picture seems great. I do wish the lockouts are removed, since they were basically in place to let groups keep their progress to be able to completely clear a raid.

  9. There are doing an absolute fantastic job, there are only 2 things that I'm really missing in the announcements that we are getting at the moment. One quality of life improvement I would love to see is instant mail between alts. This would really help with the waylaid supplies. And the second but by far the most important thing I would love to see in phase two is dual spec.

  10. Hey @xaryu, love your chan keep it up. Real question though, do you find it odd that they have been heavy on balance between factions but with p2 released a lot of maces and to a lesser extent swords and very little for axes? with regard to human and orc racials.
