Blizzard Bans GDKP Raids in World of Warcraft Classic

The decision, set to take effect on February 8, aims to curb illicit activities and preserve traditional social structures, but has sparked mixed reactions in the gaming community.

Overview

  • Blizzard Entertainment has announced a ban on Gold Dragon Kill Points (GDKP) raids in World of Warcraft Classic, set to take effect on February 8.
  • GDKP raids, which allow players to bid on gear with in-game gold, have been a significant part of the community's activities.
  • Blizzard's decision is based on concerns about GDKP contributing to illicit activities such as real-money trading (RMT) and botting, and eroding traditional guild and social structures.
  • Penalties for violating the ban will be severe, including account suspension and permanent closure.
  • The community response to the ban has been mixed, with some players supporting the move and others criticizing it as a clampdown on player systems.
