http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=20677229658&sid=1I posted this on the Mug'Thol realm forums... anyone who wants to help me get this up and running, i'd appreciate it
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to give a GDKP run a go on our server.
Can go to:
http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t77416-gdkp_run_discussion_spread_your_server/ to see how it all works in detail but I'll give a quick rundown as well...
Loot is purchased instead of rolled on. When a piece of loot drops I(being the ML) pick it all up. Then hold auctions for said loot. Top bidder receives the piece in exchange for the gold. After we down Anub all the gold will be divided amongst the 25 raiders. Anyone that leaves early will receive nothing other than whatever loot they purchased while they were there.
Bidding will be done in 100g increments, with 10 secs being the time between the last bid and the closing of bidding on that item. Incongruous bidding, or bidding and not paying will result in the removal of that player.
The big benefits to this type of run are obvious, no QQ'ing over someone winning too much loot. If you have the gold, you have the loot. You can even purchase OS gear over someone's MS if you're willing to put up the gold. Also, regardless of whether or not you get any loot, you will get gold at the end. Initially it'll be difficult to bring together the right people but after a couple of runs this will pick up and pots are said to reach 80 000 to 150 000 gold in a single run depending on drops and makeup.
What I'm looking for here is for people that are interested in giving this a bit of a trial run, if it's successful I'll do this on a weekly basis. I'll have a day/time posted here in the near future but for now I just want to see how much interest there is. The group will need some very geared people that might be after one or two pieces or just after the gold, it will also need some people with weak gear but a ton of gold to spend to gear up. There will likely be a lot of alts in the run so most will know what they're doing. If there are issues with someone repeatedly failing, they will be replaced and will receive no gold at the end of the run. Finding replacements shouldn't be difficult as the idea of receiving 2 to 6k gold for killing one boss sounds like a good deal to any geared players.
If you have any questions either post here, send me in game mail or msg me in game on either Xasha or Moostafar. If you are interested you can sign up either in this thread, or send me an ingame mail.
Oh, and for those that are going to go on and on about it being a scam, I will post the following at the beginning of the raid so a GM can intervene if anything fishy happens...
"Welcome to my GDKP run. All items (Including BOE's, enchant mats, Orbs) that drop will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and the combined gold pot will be split evenly 25 ways at the end of the run. Raid members will only receive their share of the gold pot if they are present when the final boss dies.
In the event a player is AFK for an extended period (or performs poorly, i.e. uneccessary wiping on purpose) fair and reasonable warning will be given initially, but they might be removed from the raid and forfeit their share of the pot if it continues. If any of this is unclear or you have further questions, please speak up now."
The inaugural Mug'Thol GDKP run will be on Friday 10/30/09, to start between 9pm or 10pm server time. See you there.
