Once weekly raid? It's daily. We already raiding sometimes 2x a day. Check the Kronos logs if you don't believe, we have two 40 man raids (MC, BWL) and soon a 3rd. And we're just one Chinese guild. Please think.
You are contradicting yourself. If the Chinese already raid that much, they don't need gdkp at all. They will soon have all the gear they need. I did some Armory inspects and most members at rank 1 or 2 had full epic gear.
They seem to do just fine.
If their national hobby is to accumulate an excessive amount of virtual currency, good for them. Unless they try to sell it, in which case I say, permaban their asses, I don't see any harm in that.
That's not how it works with Chinese, it never has and never will. Why do you say they are failed people because they think different to you? It's two different worlds IRL and In game that takes time to get used to. I didn't understand either at first, but then I learned their play style and really enjoy raiding with them and being a part of their community. I wasn't always with Chinese those on ED know that, so I was shocked at first at how different it is, and how things are.
Translation: I met stargirl and fell in love. Well, congratulations! You did better than me, cause my fiancées either run away or refuse to become Scarab Lord...
On a more serious note, instead of dancing around the issue, what if you started to share some factual info with us about this 'different' method of raiding. You state that you enjoy it, so it can't be that bad, can it? We won't laugh, we are genuinely interested to learn more about this (for us) alien culture.
You are wrong and have no idea like I keep saying. I've been raiding with Chinese GDKP for a very long time, and items would sell for exactly what I said, 1500g blues to 50,000g legendary. I actually was to pay 50,000g per binding, total of 100,000 for Thunderfury.
As I explained before those prices were heavly influenced by gold hacking, botting and item duping that ran rampart on Warsong especially in the early years. millions of extra gold in the market leads to those high prices.
You keep in denial when someone who actually raids with them is telling you how it has always been. You are not inside the Chinese community, therefore you don't know what you're talking about. Do you raid with the Chinese all this time attending their GDKP? No because they usually won't allow foreigner as you cannot understand them.
If they just gdkp inside their own circlejerk, that doesn't harm us. They will just pass money to eachother.. Again: A raid doesn't generate money....
Yes I would earn 1000's a week from sitting in IF only attending GDKP. While Europe GDKP earn you nothing because you are not huge farmers and also know exactly what the bis items are in game and won't spend on anything else. I was R14 and full bis, every week I would just make 1000's gold and never need to spend it.
So all that money was completely useless. Again, no harm done. In fact you helped the server by acting like a sponge, soaking up liquid currency from the market.
You would all be very surprised if you were a part of the Chinese community, 'cause it's really different from European or American guilds. Explaining all of this is pointless because you can't ever be a part of it unless you can speak and understand Chinese for raid purposes.
So far , all you are doing is picturing the Chinese as a bunch of *****s with a good work ethos. I am sure they are not dumb, but in general pretty smart. So we would appreciate if you would share some more substantial info about their play style. They like to farm.. Ok we know that. What else do they like?

sorry for multipost...
Sadly you don't know what is going on in Chinese guild.
I don't know because neither you nor Snuffles ever answers our questions!
