I’ve been writing in-game suggestion as well but I won’t get any answer there so hopefully any dev will read this and let us know if there’s any plans to do anything about this as we love this expansion but we are slowly losing the lust to play because of the situation the realm is in. We are 3 guys with 10 chars each on Mazrigos and if that would be the case for everyone on the server that means out of 1680 active characters on the realm there would be around 168 players and even if that’s not the case, if everyone has like 5 chars instead of 10, that would be 336 players on a realm…
Our realm has been dead for quite some time, no raiding guilds, not so much AH trading happening… This is how the population looks right now:
Realms active characters
Alliance: 1 334
Horde: 1 682
Overall: 3 016
Our realm is connected to only one other realm which is a bit better than ours but still nearly dead : Lightbringer
Alliance: 5 541
Horde: 3 413
Overall: 8 954
There are 0 horde raiding guilds on both realms. The AH is EXTREMLY overpriced, here are 2 examples for the difference in prices:
Mazrigos AH:
Shadowghast Greaves 235 ilvl: 199.999 gold (1 available)
Shadowghast Pauldrons 235 ilvl: 274.991 gold (3 available)
Shadowghast Breastplate 235 ilvl: 275.000 gold (2 available)
Shadowghast Waistguard 235 ilvl: 450.000 gold (1 available)
Shadowghast Helm 235 ilvl: 450.000 gold (1 available)
Shadowghast Sabatons 235 ilvl: 450.000 gold (1 available)
Twisting Nether AH:
Shadowghast Greaves 235 ilvl: 54.994 gold (18 available)
Shadowghast Pauldrons 235 ilvl: 43.500 gold (23 available)
Shadowghast Breastplate 235 ilvl: 57500 gold (11 available)
Shadowghast Waistguard 235 ilvl: 80.000 gold (9 available)
Shadowghast Helm 235 ilvl: 71.000 gold (9 available)
Shadowghast Sabatons 235 ilvl: 34.000 gold (11 available)
and this is the case for everything in our AH… 4-5-6 times the prices while it’s extremly hard to make money especially if you are playing casually.
We don’t have people to sell stuff to, because of the prices, everyone is kinda farming their own materials and crafting by themselves what they need but then comes another problem: crafting legendaries.
In order to craft a rank 3 plate helmet legendary base I need to craft 15 rank 1 and then 15 rank 2 which requires a HUGE amount of mats and they will never sell and that is for only one item slot, let’s not talk about wanting to learn to craft a second legendary.
How are we supposed to farm money when AH is dead? Do we farm by completing quests? Daily quests? World quests? I already see people leaving comments like “go and buy gold with real money”, yeah but if that’s the only case for us I’d rather do something else with my life instead of playing a pay to win game.
Any acknowledgment from any dev would be greatly appreciated, we just want to know that you hear us.
