Yet, they won't fix the problem of hundreds of bots spawning at dungeon instances 24/7 and selling their botted inventory on a mount right in front of everyone.Oh no, they might be a real player!
Who even wastes their time farming gold like that. Well, now its gonna be even more of a waste of time.
yeah if you're raw gold farming you're doing it wrong. i sold 15s for a 3 month period at the beginning of 8.3 and hit gold cap. 50k for 30 minutes of work. that'd be like 45 runs of BRF
By 50% ? it's been nerfed to 100000% ! The items who dropped from ilvl 235 to ilvl 23 costs 28 silver instead of 57 golds on ptr ! Are they nuts? The material costs of older expansion will have no value at any point.... The whole game has been shifted to new expansion and the rest is dead ! I can't believe it ! I'm pretty sure,that expansion after shadowlands will remove the old expansions as whole and the game will start from shadowlands ! In better graphics and old lands will be entirely removed....
If I were blizz I would target multi boxers. In the last week I’ve seen 3 flocks of moonkins farming in stormsong, obliterating enemies and tagging everything, and even a heard of stags running around nazjatar farming herbs; about 6 stags all on auto follow of the lead player. All of which probably causing good inflation.
I would wager a large portion of the player base actively uses old raids for income. Now, I also highly doubt the price of vendor items, mounts, etc isn't going to be nerfed is it?How are they expecting people to reasonably make gold? Some of us don't have 10 hours a day to flip the AH, or grind professions to insanity. World Quests are being nerfed, so there goes that.
So only half the story? I'm ok with reducing the amt of gold making however that should mean that if gold making is reduced then repairing cost is also reduced by similar amounts. How about some info on that?
Honestly just makes me sad. Rip.
This is horrible. The entire gold/economy system in WoW is despicable to like 90% of the playerbase and even those that really like profession gameplay etc. are not really gaining anything from any new changes and gold-sinks they put in. It's quite obvious it's all to make more money off of the token. Adds nothing to a GAME! If you wanna "play" with money go to the stock market! If you want to escape the horrible world we live in for a little while, you play a GAME! Where the player is suppose to feel accomplished, powerful, gaining mastery over your character and just having some fun. Not stressing out about "the economy"!
Right now, I have 50% of the gold I had at the beginning of BfA, and I had no farming routine back on Legion. The only source of money I have today is doing mog/mount runs, while my gold only decrease with repair + flasks bills... Missions grants 7 times less money compared to Legion, Mounts costs up to 10x more (!)... what is wrong with WoW economy? I main Engineering and I'll become homeless at this pace (just like in real life also...).
Yea lets nerf a somewhat inefficient way to make gold for absolutely no reason, but keep allowing multiboxers to disintegrade an entire map's herbs with their irl pockets.
