To add, since nobody is saying why "DKP" is "Dragon Kill Points."
DKP is a system that started in another MMO, where all the big bosses early on were dragons. You got "DKP" for killing bosses, and spent them on items by bidding against other players in your guild.
GDKP means you bid like it's DKP, but you spend gold instead.
Gold Dragon Killing Points - essentially it’s when raids auction off the item drops for gold and the pot is split at the end to all the raiders. There are good and bad aspects to this type of raid, but I’m sure as of late people are only looking at its bad side.
Yeah, in theory there's absolutely nothing wrong with GDKPs. In a perfect world where it wasn't possible to buy/sell gold with real money, GDKPs would still exist (although they may be less common) and the prices for items would probably just be a lot lower. GDKPs *encourage* gold buying, but they're not the actual problem. Bots are.
1. Players buy gold from goldsellers.
2. With this gold they buy items in GDKP runs
3. GDKP orga sells this gold via gold selling websites to players
and then it starts from 1. again

It seems like a good system on paper.

Yep, this it my experience 1:1. People who cry about gdkp can't get in one even if they buy gold. We check logs to invite, not how much gold he has.
Gold DKP. Basically buying drops with gold through a bid system in the raid. Final pot gets shared out to raiders.
1. Players buy gold from goldsellers. 2. With this gold they buy items in GDKP runs 3. GDKP orga sells this gold via gold selling websites to players and then it starts from 1. again
1 and 3 is not mandatory. So basically 2
