"The Gold Rush: GDKP 25DS"
|
Greetings to all.
"The Gold Rush: GDKP" Hosted by Gnomelike, Ålyssum\ Tankretholly is forming for its saturday night 25 DS run. Invites go out at 7pm server time. Groups will be set at 7:45 ST. With raid commencing at 8pm ST, and going on until 10:30 St. Be prepared to put in hard work as it isn't faceroll content! While the core are capable, it depends on those that join us on how far we go in. We plan the run as a time = gold ratio and try to maximise gold the run makes for all 25 to ensure it is viable for them over let's say farming herbs, ore for an equal period of time. We Value Time. All time invested by everyone in the run should be equally matched by the returns. We don't believe in minimum wage but Top Dollar ( well, gold :D ) for your efforts! If you would like to join, kindly leave a post in this thread and please mention whether you are tank/dps/heals and your prior raiding experience or send Gnomelike, Ålyssum\ Tankretholly a tell in game. Looking forward to putting the Biggest Baddy of Azeroth in his place with all of you fine folks!! <3 |

*** BASIC INFORMATION ***
-GDKP stands for "Gold-DKP". It can also be known by similar names such as "Gold runs", "GKP runs". - Everything of value will be auctioned off in raid chat. The highest bidder receives the item and the gold they pay is added to "The Pot". - "The Pot" keeps growing in value until the end of the run. - "The Pot" is split evenly at the end of the run to all 25 players in the raid present when the final boss dies. Everyone gets an equal share. - There is no mainspec > offspec priority, its gold which determines who gets what. But if no one wants the item, is available for the minimum bid. BoE bidding is open to all. You can sell it on AH, it's not a taboo. *** Rules *** 1. All Auctions and Bids will be in public raid chat. Items will have minimum bids, but no maximum bid. No private tells for bids are accepted. No loot is reserved. No item limit. **There is no extra loot/gold for the raid leader.** 2. Raid members will only receive their share of the gold pot if they are present in the raid when the final boss dies, no exceptions. If you leave early, you forfeit your share of the pot unless you have pre discussed it before the run with Gnomelike, Ålyssum\ Tankretholly 3. In the event a player is AFK for 5minutes, or without notice - or performs poorly*, is unable to connect to ventrilo, "disconnects" often, does not follow Raid Leader's instructions, displays racist/elitist behavior, starts drama - a fair first warning may or will be given, but they may be removed from the raid and/or forfeit their share of the pot if it continues. It also applies to those being rude to others on ventrilo. *Denotes performing bad based on current gear, and/or standing in fire, and/or wiping the raid due to a boss mechanic aka being bad. 4. Gold must be **immediately** payable, sorry no IOUs. If you win an auction and refuse to pay you will be kicked and banned from future runs. If a bidder is found to be bidding higher than the money they have they will be kicked from the raid and the bidding on the item will start again. 5. If an item drops which happens to be an upgrade for someone in blues, we expect them to bid the minimum at least. They don't have to outbid someone necessarily, but as a courtesy for those others who are putting in that extra dps for the buyer's share. We won't force anyone to buy anything, but then don't expect to be carried and then not buy anything and yet get an invite back! |

*** What are the benefits of GDKP run? ***
1. You have no commitment to attend them every week. You only attend what you confirm you can attend. Family > Pixels. If you cannot show up, there is always someone to take your place and 24 people are not incovenienced for it. You have no pressure at all. 2. Make gold doing what YOU love! If you're a raider but don't like the pressure of raiding multiple days a week, several hours daily, a once or twice in a week run which takes down the available content AND nets you 6000 - 30000 gold is certainly something to think about. What's the use of being in hardcore raid guilds that don't complete content before nerf hits ? 3. If you are the lone ranger types, it is a chance to meet some wonderful people just like you. Some of my best real id friends today are from previous gdkp runs. No drama. 4. Pro Raid leaders who make boss fights simple for you. - They are amazing! They constantly direct you what to do, where to stand, etc on vent during the fight. They make the effort to briefly explain you a fight in layman's terms with no abuse or disrespect. 5. Chance to get characters you play well into DS raids and get the current gear! |

*** Questions & Answers ***
Q: If I have never come to your run before, and have no experience, should I still sign up? A: Yes. As long as you are above iLvl 375 and can perform, sign up. We sometimes have our core wanting to bring their alts and thus we require a certain class to fill their previous role. Bosses are pretty easy and our Raid Lead takes the effort to explain each fight in detail. Q. How do I apply for a spot ? A. You contact Ålyssum or Gnomelike. They will send you a calendar invite. However, Raid spots aren't guaranteed until Gnomelike forms the raid group before raid begins. Q. Is my spot permanent? A: Every week has a different signup roster. First come first served. It isn't an implied spot guarantee. If you ask for a spot early on, even right at the end of the previous run, you are almost guaranteed to get one. If you aren't doing SIGNIFICANTLY more dps than the tank, we won't be rude to you, but please improve yourself if you want to be a regular. Q: Noone bid on a piece of loot. Can I make a lowball offer ? A: No. You can watch that item being disenchanted. ** More Information via links about GDKP's ** http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/06/14/gold-capped-gdkp-raiding-for-fun-and-profit/ Gold Capped: GDKP raiding for fun and profitby Basil Berntsen Jun 14th 2010 http://wowphiles.com/2010/09/how-to-run-a-gdkp-loot-system/ How To: Run a GDKP Loot System [Sep 3, 2010] by: Jason Zimmerman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FiXr4XQkHk WoW GDKP Raid Guide by Kripparian |
