Title: GDKP
Post by: Vaelia on March 24, 2010, 08:40:58 AM
I'm thinking of hosting weekly GDKP runs for ToC 25 to make a little cash and gear some alts. Would anyone be interested?

I'm thinking of hosting weekly GDKP runs for ToC 25 to make a little cash and gear some alts. Would anyone be interested?

I would recommend ICC 10, it would be easier to organize, you could probable make more money (per person), and the loot would be better.  The easy modes are very easy, and a hand full of hard modes shouldn't be bad after next weeks (I presume next week) 10% buff.

Meh. ICC 10 seems too dependent on drops since at most you'd only have a few buyers per competent raiders, plus it would be harder to get competent characters to come and drag people through it, especially if there are still a few items these toons need.

ToC at least has 5 guaranteed trophies, it only takes an hour, and there are lots of easily attainable high ticket items (trinkets). It's also a lot more forgiving if you have several horribly geared yet rich characters, which is the intention.

Although, an ideal situation would be to eventually extend this to ICC 25 once a regular, competent group is formed (and can be done without mains). Hmm hmm hmm.

I'd be down for a GDKP run on gunt, either toc 25 or icc 25. Your pot's going to be much bigger on icc25 of course. You might give icc a shot before the 10% buff goes in, but certainly after.

Depending on when this is, I would be willing to go.
Title: Re: GDKP

Most important thing will be picking a good day and time and then keeping it consistent. Probably won't do anything this week since the Jaraxxus weekly sort of kills things and Piston is already doing a ToC run on Sunday (supposedly), but I'd like to start spreading the word for the following week.

Personally, I'll be bringing whatever toon I happen to feel like spending money on and then defaulting to maybe the hunter or druid once I have nothing left to gear, but to make the runs successful we'd need:

1) Good, geared players who don't need anything and want cash
2) Good, geared players who have their eyes set on a particular item and are willing to spend a shit ton getting it (Death's Verdict)
3) Average players looking to fill out a few slots
4) Extremely undergeared players with huge pockets

It would be nice if we could grab several type 1 or 2 people who can tank or heal, form a solid core, and then look for people willing to spend cash to build around it.

Also, before I move ICC into the system it would be nice to have a few more runs to gear up our alts in there some more since those are the toons we'd be relying on to make it happen.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Uhuru on March 24, 2010, 09:40:47 AM
You can also advertise in our forum posts that once the group gets solid enough it will migrate to ICC25.  That should get a lot of incentive for people to come help out.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Deepz on March 24, 2010, 09:43:51 AM
You know what would be cool, we'd probably knock out ToC25 in a heartbeat. Time pending the first 4 bosses in icc25 would be a pushover as well.

I'd highly reccomend reading the GDKP thread on EJ, as I'm sure there are some good ideas to make the run successful. It's a public thread, so also probably full of anecdotes like (lol i made 15k) and then an infraction though.

Dun did nigga.

For those who aren't aware:
http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t77416-gdkp_run_discussion_spread_your_server/ (http://elitistjerks.com/f15/t77416-gdkp_run_discussion_spread_your_server/)

Best possible candidates for timeslots are Friday and Saturday nights, Sunday afternoons. Of course, our schedule will eventually open up as hard modes become more on farm, but it would be important to keep things consistent.

Provided people don't care to compete against each other for still relevant loot we could jump into ICC 25 immediately, though ideally we're going to have a handful of people in each raid that are deadweight Scrooge McDucks so it would be nice to gear up our competent alts with at least one more "free" run first.

Post by: Ulfius on March 24, 2010, 10:18:19 AM
I would tank or dps this on Nemcron (DPS set is better but my tank set is more then capable for toc 25). Saturday or Sunday runs would work best for me. I also think we should try and extend this to icc 25 as there is more money to be made and as stated the first 4 bosses are a joke.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Viodia on March 24, 2010, 10:19:59 AM
I'd most likely heal.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: monmoth on March 24, 2010, 10:35:19 AM
I could tank it on either toon.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Vurin on March 24, 2010, 11:51:18 AM
I could bring catea to tank/heal my heal sets pretty lolz at the moment, but holy paladins are OP and make for some easy victories in ICC, and I could get her up to an instance appropriate level in about a week if this is going forward, and you want me to heal.

Won't carry the raid for healing but gotta start somewhere =P
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Athanyel on March 24, 2010, 04:15:06 PM
As long as I'm not working, I've got alts that can heal or DPS on these runs.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Shamlarie on March 24, 2010, 06:31:21 PM
Would definitely come to this.

I am going to very tentatively say next Saturday at 6 pm. Please let me know now if this creates major issues for you, if it only affects one or two people it's probably what I'm going with unless something better is found.

Saturday, 6PM. ToC 25 -> ICC 25. Bring your toons.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Vaelia on March 30, 2010, 06:10:58 AM
This is happening whether or not Jesus day conflicts, just realize that there might not be a massive showing this week.

In other news, I'm probably going to load my lock up with 100k or so. Bring toons that you want to get rich. If we do these between now and Cataclysm everyone should have a decent enough nest egg.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Vaelia on March 31, 2010, 05:52:51 AM
The forums are indicating a lot of interest, bumping to make sure there are enough people from our side of the fence to make the run smooth.
Title: Re: GDKP
Post by: Vaelia on April 02, 2010, 12:22:41 AM
Note to people planning on going to this: I'm going to roll out guild invites at ~5:55 PST and then start inviting people from the forums right at 6. If you're planning on coming don't be late because I have no intention of kicking anyone (pug or not) once they're in the zone unless we're simply unable to kill a boss.

the last two weeks I've been in a pug icc with domin that kills the first four and festergut. Soo if you don't want to make money off terrible people then join a different pug?  :emot-yarr:

If you want to get gear in my run, you can bid on it. If you want badges and lots of gold, you can come and get them. If you want to try your luck at /roll and potentially lose things you want to a pug doing tank damage, you can go to another run.

Trying to make it tonight, but it's up in the air. If I don't, and for future reference, here is the spiel I go through pre-raid:

Quote
Welcome to my GDKP run. All items (Including BOE's, enchant mats, Orbs) that drop will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and the gold pot will be split evenly 25 ways at the end of the run.

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.

In the event a player is AFK for an extended period without notice - or performs poorly - a fair first warning will be given, but they may be removed from the raid and/or forfeit their share of the pot if it continues.

Quote
Whenever a boss dies I will publicly auction off an item in raid chat.

To bid on an item, simply type out how much your bid is in raid (i.e. 1000)

If you win an auction and refuse to pay for it you will be removed from the raid. Bid wisely.

Please keep raid chat clear except for bids. If you wish to speak, do so in /s

Quote
MINIMUM BIDS
100 g for all items
Minimum Bid Increment: 100g

Quote
MINIMUM BIDS
1000g Offset (rings/offhands/non-tier pieces)
3000g Tier Tokens
3000g Weapons/Shields
5000g Trinkets
Minimum Bid Increment: 100g
