Reason why i stop playing

PVP Arenas
1

costs 1 billion gold to enchant/gem my characters

i dont/didnt intend to stop

it just ended up being the reality

sorry i cant be part of this fake wow token/gold printing economy

i need my money to buy food and whatnot

this is EXTREMELY predatory behavior by this greedy incompetent and insincere company

yeah the cost to run a single character is expensive
i have 5 classes i have to run

ive spent easily millions of gold through gems, enchants, crafted gear

i 100% agree , they have made it too expensive for certain players to play / compete in rated content

in season 2 ill likely use less crafted gear and more vendor gear, i dont want to waste time/money

  • 1 crafted item :
    Crafted gear will costs you 40k in materials, 10-15k fee for the crafter
    10-20k for the enchant
    5-10k for the gems
    20-40k for blood stones for the sockets
    ( so roughly 120k gold for 1 crafted item )

you need at least 3-4 crafted item per character so thats
120k x 4
480k gold per character

Then maybe put some effort in professions and make yourself some gold?

It’s not that hard to make enough for enchants, crafted.gear and consumables. Even if you only pick herb/mining and spent few hours picking up things you will have enough.

Anyway, bye bye,.don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

i have maxed out professions, and ive spent more money on that than the crafted orders required for the crafted gear
Alloys are 10k each
tinerboxes were 15k each
crystals - 2k each
etc

it doesnt make ANY gold but requires a lot of gold to skill up

you can pick a gathering proff and spend hours farming for what 250k gold?
time = money and its not a good investment to spend hours farming

And I have enchanting/mining and the only thing I’ve done with them is literally sell all mats from DE and ore on AH and I’ve had enough gold to fully enchant, gem and craft (2xper character) and then buy 3 tokens since release.

Also since this is pvp forums, you can make enough gold for all your needs just selling bloodstones.

So spend a million, farm reps for weeks and hope to get it back somehow later on, in case the season wont die out?

they are 7k each currently on my server
thats 2500 honor for 7k
2500 honor is about 5-7 Battle grounds depend on win or loss

each Bg queue timer is 10- 20minutes
so thats 1 hour for 7k gold

  • it doesnt take a boffin to realise you cant survive on 7k gold an hour

a wow token at the cost of ÂŁ17 for 270k gold, working a single hour IRL job would pay that )
making it more time effective, so id rather do 1 hour overtime IRL

i dont waste away my life spending endless hours on bg blitz to farm honor jus to be able to sell bloodstones, just to be able to be slowly inch towards being equally matched against people who just buy wow tokens and inflate prices with their demand, and then i have to compete with them in ranked pvp

i have more than one toon who needs the gems/enchants
i have a job
i am over 30 years old (im not dedicating my life for this game)
i have responsibilities (i am not funding blizzards’ greed through their tokens anymore)

It’s passive gold so it’s not like you spend hour making it, you play arena or GS to have fun and gold comes in without you doing anything special to get it.

And 7k is enough for most enchants and gems. And at the start of expansion when enchants and gems were really expensive bloodstones were 25k a piece.

10

7k wont cover you for the speed enchant
radiant chest / weapon enchant is 20k each

i value my time more than you it seems :slight_smile:

11

Yeah that’s why I said most. You literally quoted it lol

12

it doesnt cover you for any enchant even now with inflation on prices

13

Then check prices of enchants and stop quoting same post over and over again ok?

  1. this isnt my post
  2. im just pointing out the ACTUAL cost of min maxing a single character ( 480k gold )
  3. i would rather work 1 hour irl then 5 hours farming for the same amount of gold
  4. im literally logged in right now looking at the auction house ( on my ah mount)
  5. im rich AF in game, i dont care im just pointing out the obvious flaw to your " statement "
15

You wouldn’t cry on the forums if you were so I call bs.

16

im not crying, im pointing out the difference
again this isnt my post , but i can understand the OP point of view

and how would you want me to prove my wealth in game? ive already told you i have the AH mount

want me to show you in game ?

17

I do mining herb gathering in-between q and got enchant for 0 tbh.

I don’t craft gear, anything else is full pvp gear, I just don’t buy the 3 tier enchant, 2 is enough and never done it before tbh.

You can do same and still play don’t worry it’s not like enchants are mendatory to get rating after all.

That’s why you sell multiple bloodstones and you’ll make your gold back in no time. I can’t believe people actually wasted their gold on those over priced r3 enchants lol

You call my thinking “flawed” when it’s literally how I made gold over first month of TWW. Just picking nodes, DEing gear and selling excess bloodstones and I made enough gold to buy 3 tokens and enchant and gear my characters, so how is it flawed?

As for you having gold or not in the game is irrelevant so I have no idea why would you even bring it up.
