To be fair this was a thing before cleave meta
If you drag a friend through a dungeon that they have no interest in doing because you dont want to pay 15g, are you really a friend?
I think about everything.
Nothing in classic is difficult, itâs all a time game. I like Mara, but I donât like it enough to run it tens of times for a damn ring. Iâd much rather farm for 10 minutes to get 15g and then pay somebody thatâs solo grinding it anyway.
How exactly do you do that? âLFM Mara, not inviting anybody that uses AP!â? What happens with the casters then, if they follow the same logic? How about âLFM Mara, ring reserved!â, arenât you the kind of person that also hates the loot reservation runs?
Hilarious. Scuttle back to primary school and learn some basic math. 15g is worth MUCH less than the potentialy hours spent running Mara. 15g is also a lot less than what your friend could be doing with their time if they werent carrying you.

Iâm not arguing about the value of the items, be it 1, 15 or 50g.
Iâm arguing about the fact that when and if people dont want to do it, why do they do it?
Is having a slightly more powerful ring really worth investing potentially stupid ammounts of time really worth it?
My point is that people who pay for boosts, are not the audience that classic was made for, and I think its sad that they dont understand that.
Based on what? A statement by Blizzard?
Classic was made for people who want to play classic. Simple as that.
Whether that involves meticulously going through every single quest, dungeon, and piece of lore available, or just rushing to 60, or paying people to boost them to items they cba to farm is irrelevant.

Because the ring is good? And I mean really good? As a fury warrior for me, itâs BiS. Itâs better than the UBRS and DM North ring. Iâll be using it for a long damn time, because the only thing that would replace it this tier is Accuria, a ring that tanks have prio on.
Stupid amounts of time? No. Solo runs are around 5-10 minutes each, you pay a guy to boost you, they skipp all the trash and spend 3 minutes killing the boss. Rinse and repeat until itâs done.
Thatâs much better than finding several full groups at lvl50 and clearing everything.
Then your point is both moot and stupid. The audience for classic arenât people that donât know the value of things. The target audience isnât people that have never touched an MMO in their life.
The target audience is the old generation of WoW players, the people who lost interest in the modern version.
I donât want to call you an idiot, but as I said earlier; do you even think before you write? How can you honestly believe that people who donât want to play the same way as you shouldnât be playing the same game? What goes through your mind to think such logic is acceptable?

did you seriously just ask if 1 princess run is worth half a lvl 40 mount?
sind die special education?
Nope, usually charge after all this time is between 10-25g for unlimited kills until ring drops.
You take everything I say out of context⌠why? you are a truely sad personâŚ
You need the ring because its a pre-bis item.
So you do something you dont want to do, with someone who also does not want to do it, because some guy on the internet who is really good at math told you thats the one you need to get.
And then people cry because everything is so easy⌠when someone told them how to do itâŚ
I bet you are popular with the friends you dont have 
No, I donât. I take everything you say at face value, as the words they are written.
Yes.
You donât need to be good at math to know that hit chance is good. And no, I spend 15g and let a hunter solo the instance for me, rather than dragging friends alone; friends who could spend their time doing something else theyâd want to do.
What a stupid statement. Re-read everything Iâve said. I literally said Iâd rather pay a randomer than bother a friend. Would you want your friends to bother you?

You must have read my posts wrong.
Re-read and reply when you understand my original intention.
Your original intention was to rant about something that you percieve as a âtoxic cultureâ, something you later said that you believed wasn;t the intention behind classic; you said people buying item boosts werenât the target audience.
If none of that is what you meant, then my reading comprehension isnât on trial; your inability to correctly express yourself is.
On our realm they usualy do 20g for a ring drop, not per run.
I dont think its that greedy. Did a lot of princes runs myself with guildies, and still didnât get a ring drop. If I can pay 20g to go farm for the ring when it suits me without having to bother guildies again and again, itâs a fair deal. I mean, I payed 20g on AH for less good items that does not require the seller to spent their time doing dungeon run(s) with me.

Iâm not talking about the ring, this was purely to bypass the hassle of spending 6+ hours finding, traveling to, and clearing maraudon for the thrash blade quest.
In essence, Thrash blade for 50g
The price will have been higher for you due to the requirement of clearing trash. Level 60âs can run past all the trash; lvl50ish rogues can sneak past the trash too.
On topic: no, not worth it. Just wait until a higher level when the price is cheaper. Trash Blade is good stil 60, and even at. You might as well just get it while youâre farming the ring.
We didnt clear any trash, the hunter i got just ran past, i stealthed past everything, killed princess in 4 minutes or something.
Just wondering if it was a good buy, i know thrash blade is prebis, i was the one that made the offer of 50g
Gonna assume you mean 50G for the blackstone ring, otherwise hell no. and tbf even that is a bit much (20-30g for the ring, seems more fair) unless you are very low level (so I have to kill extra mobs to keep you safe) or wasting my time by making me wait for you.
Alright, i didnt care much for the ring, i can just buy the tarnished elven ring. So 50g for thrash blade was a bit overkill?
Well personally - if they can make it to princess with out aggro, and I donât have to wait outside the instance for too long Iâd be happy just to be compensated for time lost (over 170+ kills each run averages out to about 7.5g in ~11m)
ps. The reason Iâd have to wait outside the instance it to avoid the akward situation where different portals leads to different instances 
edit: but having said that, what it comes down to is - was it worth it to you; I mean if you saw a similar blade on the AH for 50G would you hit buyout?
Yep, that was around 35g more than the usual price.
Of course its worth it to be carried!
Then pay 100g for each of the Dal Rend, another 1000g to be boosted in MC, and then just quite the game! You won, youâre done, and just look at all the time you saved and memories you made.
Just promise you wont make a âIm 60, what to do now - Classic is boringâ-thread.
