for everyone saying its good change. how exactly? now its easier to go to your job for 1 day more and buy 3 wow tokens. you cant rly make 600k golds on old raids content in one day.
Will this be to balance how much gold can be potentially farmed from Legion?
talk about punishing those that get some sort of fun out of goldmaking in the game...I don't understand unless the inflation of gold over the last few expansions have been so much that they have to do this. :(
All Blizzard is doing is making harder for regular players to make gold, meanwhile multi boxers are out in force at all the open world farms, with 5-20 accounts, preventing anyone else from farming, and sucking all the raw gold out of the economy and killing prices for cloth, herbs, mounts, rare drops, and the list goes on and on and on.Blizzard supports this because they get more subs for their metrics, but sooner or later, this game will be nothing but multi boxers.
it is funny too because if you go onto g2g, all of the gold sellers proudly state that they are multi boxers as well. So you can go buy a million gold for $75 USD, from multi boxers, because all the farms are controlled by multi boxers, and blizzard is supporting it. They don't even ban gold sellers anymore. They, the multi boxers are not just killing the economy, but breaking ToS without any fear.
Ouch, this hurts casuals more than anything. Less money they make - less money they spend on the AH. Less is sold on the AH. You would think it would drive them to sell, but you also gotta remember if they are doing raid/dungeon runs for gold they do not have time to repost 3-4 times a day.
This is a byproduct of the item level squish. It has happened with every squish in the past. Unfortunate mechanic if this is your only source of gold.
Imagine keep paying $15 monthly. Especially now that Blizzard devs are leaving and Activision is taking control of things. Thank you for these +11 years!
Seems to me like they're trying to push more people to invest money in their tokens. Not every player can sell runs though keys/visions/raids for mounts, gear, etc. This gold nerf is a terrible idea.
Well nothing new tbh is happening.It was always like this: People find a nice spot for raw gold farm in old expansion instances -> Blizzard nerfs it the next expansion.This was a thing long before WoW Token had existed and it's nothing new.In Cata you did TBC raids for gold, in MoP mostly WotLK and few quick TBC ones, in WoD Cata raids. Some of the Cata raids were so good they were the top raw gold farming spot even in Legion, post nerf (Firelands and BoT mostly).BFA was a time to shine for MoP / WoD raids, so they are being axed in Shadowlands. In SL probably something new will pop up... as always.
Oh look. It’s doomsday for making gold. Again. Just like every other time Blizzard nerfed gold making hotspots in the past. Whatever will people do. Yes, that was sarcasm.
Don't know why they keep doing this ever expansion. Just ruin any fun anyone had in previous expansions. I can only imagine the 5000 gold follower missions from island expeditions has been changed to 500 war resources as well as gold follow missions being changed. I'm sure plenty of people quit over the gold investment to upgrade garrisons which now have very little potential for gold gains by comparison. I would still be doing all WOD and legion follower missions if they had the same gold yield. instead i just don't play wow as much. Is that really their end goal? To make us not even want to log in on most days?
Keep in mind that this gold squish is going to affect selling stuff on the AH as well. Players on average will have less gold, since it'll be harder to get gold from playing the game. This means they won't have as much to spend on buying items from the AH. Again - gold made from the AH is just transferred from player to player, not actually generated by the game. In fact, the AH actually takes gold out of the game with its tax on sold items.
My guess is this was more a decision of not wanting to redo all the vendor price formulas as part of the level squish, vs. an intended economy adjustment.Still feels bad.
