Well, I sure hope they diversified their investmens insteand of betting on one thing!
Nice move, im approve that 
I hope it will hit their normal price of around 30ish gold in next week

Invest hundreds of hours for some pixels in a game? WTF. If you dont enjoy playing it and see it as an “investment” then there is only one explanation. You sell gold, which is illegal. Playing a game is not an investment. If you are selling gold I’m really happy this made an impact on sellers, if not I think blizzard gave you a great incentive to evaluate your choices.

Imagine you see the time you spent playing a game as investment… I can’t.

Whø said I did? I still have 2øøø elemental earth and 4øøø elemental water. I am still way richer than your average special character user. Still, I lost 15øøø g today and solely because of circumstances from OUTSIDE of the game. It is objectively wrong to “fix” non-bugs and catering to casuals, invalidating the whole reason classic exists.

excellent news 
now more people can use flasks on the reg.
If that was the case black lotus availability would be far too high. People are buying a stack of solid stone for 5-10g. People will hoard black lotus long before prices reach 30g.
Solid stone Stack is 20 for 8 golds
Black lotus is (will be) 1 for 30
Sounds pretty possible to me
Just wait and see
And you really didn’t see the 50/50 chance of this exact change happening?
I don’t understand why you’re so mad about this, you should have been expecting this. I sure was
The lotus problems have been obvious for half a year at this point. If you (or your gbank) invested heavily in Black Lotuses, then you (or your gbank) made a mistake.
This black lotus issue is pain.
It rally need fix. people spend their life to find even one
ah the goldseller tears

We have multiboxers farming gold with +400g an hour. Bots farming on low pop servers and bring stuff cheap 2 market. Servers are way bigger then in 2005 and the spawn points and timers where the same. Everybody I runs MC and BWL now. That wasn’t the case in 2005 . What made this game great for vanilla and TBC was the investment players need to do . People looked up to high geared players and wanted to be like that. High content raiding wasn’t for all now its for everyone. You wanted to create a experience people hade in 2005. But what blizzard does is listening to the wieners again that it take 2 much effort. Listning 2 these people brought us retail how it is 2 day. No community , easy gearing and not even half the player base that World of Warcraft hade in 2005. So good job. This will be for sure my last time I play a World of Warcraft.

I am a “normal” player. I used BL farming as my gold farming method. I got over 100x over a long time on a high pop server. Wich I saved to use and sell for aq/naxx. This change is just so bad, I mean it would be ok if they also banned mage boosting AND removed half of the gold they earned that way. Because thats exactly what they are doing now. There are no bots picking them, atleast not on mograine. They are picking by real players who worked hard to get them.
the only way to make this fair is to give ppl that already saved lotuses extra lotuses . For example, if this change means there will be 200% more spawns, then someone who saved 10 should have 20 after the reset. I mean, people have been wasting hundreds of hours doing this expecting “NO CHANGES” , and ofc many have been smart and saved them for later knowing prices will be even higher, how is this wrong in any way?
A change like this should not happen over one night, they should announce it now and make the change in 3 months or something. So people got time to atleast get a decent % of their hard earned currency.
