That was taking your point to the next level. You said people can’t log in becasue of their faction, I extended that to a farcical conclusion.
Only if they do it a large amount of times. Doing it a few times is not against the rules.
Faction imbalance is fine, in fact it is the normal state of PvP realms.
Because it creates an additional amount of gold that never existed before the clone and is created in the process.
Take my old raidleader who organizes gdkp runs. He has hundreds of thousands of gold. And he says that he will quit the game after vanilla classic. Now he can give me all his gold right now until the prepatch then I give it back to him after I buy the clone later on. Then maybe he will start playing later on and will have all that gold in vanilla era servers anyway. Eventually he will have lost no gold and I will have profited 200k gold out of thin air in the process.
Now you can’t understand this at all and find it sheer insanity, right?
Yes, I literally don’t get what the problem is supposed to be! He has 200k gold, he can take it to TBC by clicking the button at split, or by giving it to you. Makes no difference. The gold gets duplicated at the moment of the split regardless. He may just choose to let it forever sit on an unclaimed ghost copy. Much better if he gives it to you imo. What a waste of 200k gold that could be spread throughout the economy would that be. Much better if you buy 48 spellcloths on day one at 5k a pop. Makes 48 poor casters epic fliers.
Edit: And yeah we can talk about how that 200k gold got created, and how much of it comes from bot rogues in BRD, and from flyhacking boosters in ZG and what not. But that’s unrelated to this thread, I fully support permabannig bots, gold sellers AND gold buyers.
So the point is, more gold will be injected into the economy. I think we agree on that.
Yeah a lot of players will do this if they plan to quit wow for the time being and give their gold away. If it wasnt possible, they wouldn’t though, thinking that maybe they will return in the future and keep the gold on a closed account.
This will cause inflation, not much, but a bit of it.
Now, if you think inflation is a good thing, that is a whole different discussion. A lot of players don’t like inflation because it makes a lot of gold sinks quite obsolete and unnoticable. I personally didn’t make any gold from gdkps on classic so I will go into TBC with really low amounts of gold, so I don’t know. But Blizzard should take notice of this anyway. Blizzard has people that are earning wages as “game designers” and “community managers”.(even if they are much less than before). They are being paid to locate potential issues and take it to the attention of their superiors. The whole point of forums.
Simplest answer I can give, once snap shots occur there will be 3 wow clients… classic, retail and TBCC… you will not be able to transfer between clients. Just as we can’t send gold from retail to classic, so sending gold from classic to TBCC won’t be possible either…
I’ve been thinking. It is true it’s pretty much like player B quits wow and gives his gold to A.
In my head it itched a little just because B does still play but the earlier version with the same amount. But actually B has no more impact in TBC+ so it is as if he quit the game.
It is not a one variable equation though. Player B isn’t our only target. There is also player A that is sitting on a fortune that player B gave him, that player B wouldn’t have done otherwise, unless he could get his gold back totally the same without the cloning service. He became richie rich because he was a smart mf and used the cloning system to his advantage.
Meanwhile player C is picking up herbs for 20 hours a day in nagrand because he didn’t take advantage of this.
The earliest that they will implement this is wotlk pre-patch
It’s not confirmed because it’s not the case.
Whether a character is TBCC or Classic is decided before logging into that character after the prepatch hits, and before logging in with any new character after the patch. Afterwards the decision is final.
Classic Era Servers are not a “staging area” for TBCC, they are separate realms.
