Candy bucket gold nerf

Last I remember these granted more xp and gold. (9k xp and 9-10g) now it only gives 2g and less xp.
Was this really necessary? do you think extra 1k is too much for someone who spends 1-2 hrs gathering buckets? Wow token sales marketing strategy?

Why are you farming buckets for candies? That can’t be fun as there are no new rewards. You should be enjoying the lovely level scalling and new level expirence either in or out of Chromie time. That’s the fun stuff because it’s new and just been released.

/sarcasm

because its the halloween event and i want to stock with 1000s of wands of leper gnomes to use on horde scu -pause- eeeer teammates in bg

Huh, even more reason not to bother going round these buckets then… I checked and can’t see any achievements for doing buckets after Pandaria - is that correct? A bit disappointing as I was keen to fly about and get some achievements!

But Blizz worked hard on the new stuff and they told us it would be fun so we should be doing it because if we don’t then we won’t be having fun because the old stuff isn’t fun anymore because Blizz want us to play the fun new stuff…

In all seriousness, the Hallow’s End achievements haven’t been updated for a couple of expansions now and nothing new added for I think 2-3 years now.

It might be a direct result of the squish, they’ve applied some calculation in the background to “Rebalance” daily quest XP and Gold rewards and as a result this has been impacted.

IIRC Holiday’s like Midsummer and Hallow’s end were a great way to level up Alts because of the Daily Quests like Candy Buckets so maybe that’s why

gold isn’t reason people gathering them, because even 10g isn’t worth trouble

I’m disappointed there are no new costumes to buy either. I kinda expected to see a new one this year. I was waiting for a “Exquisite Costume Set: Valeera Sanguinar”, but sadly it didn’t happen.

Since hoods with visible hair for players not gonna happen for some time, as it’s obvious by the situation. I thought at least I could play with her model because she has a hood with visible hair. Maybe next year, I hope…

Also I don’t really get the reasoning behind this nerfs to gold. This just hurts the casual players that are trying to get some gold, it wouldn’t effect the multiboxers/botters, imo.

fixed for you, its good source of gold. or was

I think it is because we are level 50 now so we get gold that lvl 50 characters used to get. As far as i remember amount of gold depended on your level also before. So we are not getting “max level gold” now but same amount someone who is still leveling would get.

It annoyes me there is so much this kind of things in game now, where tuning was not finished properly but just left like it was.

Dude, doxing much…

Ignore it. I think/hope it was a joke, since everybody’s character and realm is visible here.

So it always is in the software industry - and, with a twist, between the software and hardware industries.

After Pandaria all Blizzard has added is one or two buckets per expansion, too few for an achievement. I think there is one in the garrison, one in Legion Dalaran, and one in Bolarus/Drazalor, not even enough for a single achievement with the 3 expansions combined.

I heard you guys were talking about candy? Want some of mine? ; ) :candy: :candy: :candy: :candy: :candy: :blush:

If you loot candy say every minute you get 600g per hour if candy worth 10g? 600g/hour isn’t really something people would do for gold you know?

it is not

they on purpose nerfed gold rewards

this is the ‘‘reward’’ for old quests (northrend) as lvl 50
