GDKP Raid [Easy way to get gold/items]

[festyr]

GDKP, which stands for Gold DKP, is a loot system in which players bid gold on items that drop in a raid rather than rolling on it. The item then goes to the highest bidder and all the money that was bid goes to the raid leader and stays in the virtual pot. At the end of the raid the pot is split amongst the raiders.
GDKP in Action:

Once you down a boss the loot master opens bidding at whatever the preset price is, for us it was generally 500-1000 gold (some more popular items start at 2000). People bid in whatever increment they want until no one bids for 5 seconds and the raid auctioneer declares the bidding over and then they exchange the gold for the item.

Generally the groups push on as far into the raid instance as they can. A well put together GDKP run should now be able to do at least 10/12 bosses in Icecrown Citadel with the 30% buff.

The amount of gold bid on items can be quite high. Bidding on some items can go as high as 23,000 gold and there have been reports of items going up to 70,000 gold. (Usually the hosts of the GDKP always post the previous weeks results in the realm forums.)

An average GDKP run on this server grosses around 200,000 gold for anywhere from 8 to 11 out of the of 12 bosses in 25 man ICC, which generally ends being around 7500 gold per person.

Some of the benefits of GDKP

If you really want an item but always seem to get beat when rolling, or you aren’t on top of the list in your guild (using a look system such as Suicide Kings) you can essentially buy the item if it drops.
If you bid but don’t win anything you still make a few thousand gold for your time raiding.
The group is probably going to be a quality group, so there’s a good chance it will clear more more bosses than a regular PUG and be more of a fun raiding experience.
Some of the Cons of GDKP:

If someone has a tremendous amount of gold, you still may not get the item you want.
The run is done all in one night, which can be a longer night of raiding than some are used to.
There is potential for a headache if someone is a scammer who is trying to steal gold (though if someone has a reputation for running GDKP raids, chances are very slim you have to be concerned.)
A true PUG as a whole will not go this route because you need to have a group that is going to push through a lot of content. There are often people in PUGs who want to reserve something (in my opinion this is worse than a GDKP run). GDKPs are generally only going to be conducted by the best guilds on the server.

For anyone who’s playtime is limited and sporadic, or is in a smaller guild that hasn’t been able to successfully raid, GDKP can be a great way to go. GDKP runs give you a solid chance to get the gear you want, with a much slimmer chance of dealing with a fail PUG.

si de ce ar fi asta mai bun ca dkp normal?
cu asta or sa ia iteme doar aia care au gold, in loc sa ia iteme cei care participa la raiduri si strang dkp normal.

At least he had the intention to help those who do not know what 's that GDKP, although struggling to write in English.
