In mid-September 2026, Blizzard gave a short answer to a long-running community question about GDKP raids in World of Warcraft: Forever — 'no'. The team stressed they are taking the new branch's economy 'most seriously', but did not go into the details of specific measures.

On September 18, 2026, the day after the open beta of World of Warcraft: Forever launched, Blizzard gave a short answer to a long-running community question: there will be no GDKP raids in Forever. Asked directly about the format, the team said 'no'. At the same time, Blizzard stressed they treat the Forever economy 'most seriously', but did not get into specifics about how exactly they plan to keep things in order.

What GDKP is. Gold Dragon Kill Points is a raid format where loot is auctioned inside the raid for gold, and the gold collected is then split among participants in proportion to their contribution. GDKP is popular on private WoW Classic servers, but in Blizzard's official versions it has never been supported and has been consistently shut down. Forever is no exception: Blizzard directly confirmed this format will not appear in the game.

The economy as a whole. Alongside the GDKP answer, the team set out a general principle: the Forever economy is treated as a serious system, not a side element. There were no direct promises on specific measures — exactly how they will fight bots, gold inflation and RMT services. According to preliminary information, this is about the overall stance: the game's economy is 'taken very seriously', and GDKP does not fit into that framework.
