“Furthermore, third-party ‘boosting communities,’ particularly those operating across multiple server realms, will no longer be tolerated,” the manager concluded, sealing the fate of several large-scale gold-making operations.

While Blizzard’s stance is definitive, the WoW Classic player base is far from satisfied. Many feel the developers are out of touch with how the game is actually played in the modern era.

“This is about as disconnected from reality as it gets,” noted one commenter, highlighting the gap between official policy and player behavior.

“The ban simply isn’t enforceable,” argued another skeptic. “The developers are delusional if they think this will stop gold-for-services transactions.”

The sentiment from a vocal segment of the community is an ultimatum: “Bring back GDKP or watch the player count plummet,” warned another player. Despite the threats, Blizzard appears committed to its vision of a more “traditional” raiding environment.

In related news, Blizzard clarified that it isn’t “walking back” its UI mod restrictions: “Our intent was never to dismantle the addon ecosystem, but to preserve competitive integrity.”
