GDKP Raids

Selling no drop items
It is not allowed to 'sell' loot rights to any no drop item, be it a quest item, raid loot, or ancient/relic/archaic turn-in pieces. (Hint: these items are no-drop for a reason; if we wanted you to sell them they would be droppable.) This includes payment in platinum, cash, items, etc. Violators risk banning, items gained this way will be revoked.

Selling services such as leveling exp for in-game pp or paying for somebody in game pp or items to increase your set traps skill is currently allowed. If it is abused we will revoke this privilege.

I see GDKP raiding as skirting the ToS, but not outright violating them. It's a closed group auction, not a sale of loot rights.

Saying a thing is not the thing that it is, doesn't make it not that thing. In the GDKP situation you have no drop loot being awarded to people on the basis of a plat transaction, its that simple.

Turns out someone else already asked basically the same question w/o using the phrase "GDKP raiding" and got some further clarification.

You cannot distribute anything to the raid that did not come from the raid; i.e. that is not explicitly loot. Platinum that is explicitly looted within the raid can be distributed among players that did not win items if you so choose; this could be considered similar to a "split" among group members at the end of an exp session.

However, you cannot pay the players in the raid from platinum or items on your player or in your bank for helping you achieve any raid-necessary objective. If we find you have done this, we will revoke your item or items; and you won't get your money back either.

What more do you need then me telling you that no, GDKP is not an option on this server?

This discussion is officially over.

Legal or Not Legal?

In a GDKP raid, all items of value are auctioned off in an open bidding system to all participants. The person willing to pay the most for it will get the item in exchange for gold, and at the end of the night, all the gold that was collected is divided out among the raiders.

Back in the day, when cashing out to American banks was made illegal in online poker, you could work around it by buying calling cards and immediately reselling them for face value to some 3rd party. Seems applicable.
