Lets end this. lets make a classic progressive server that cuts the evil by its roots.
auction house disabled
players cannot trade gold with each other
all items are bind on pick up
all items must be found
and everyone gets individual loot. per boss kill so chance of ninja looting
what thsi fix
gold buying doesnt work
botting is stupid
everything has to found
and when kill a boss every kills it gets loot instead of having roll on individual peices so stupid loot systems like gdkp cant exist
but it stops cheating thats main thing they have no reason to bot if they cant trade it to other players
they have no reason buy gold if gold only used for vendors and buying skills. your not thinking
cut the greed by its balls. then destroy player degeneracy
dont see the difference you get items from killing mobs all the time get loot from dungeons its not that hard
not saying remove gold completely remove players ability to trade and give gold to others
besides having self found classic server + blizzard can test this theory see if works. question do you need ability trade gold to other players and use auction house to enjoy classic wow
no you dont you earn everything yourself very easily
and if it does prove the fact that botting and gold selling is removed by 100% then its a win in my books
I do not think you are getting the point of what hes trying to say.
think on this for a second. if blizzard truely wanted to they could completely end. this player created problem. by removing players the ability trade gold or use auction house.
cause botting and selling gold is more issue’s then worth its much easier and cost effective to delete a the problem then constantly failing trying to fix it. always been a thing. yet blizzard really taken no harsh action against. they let it happen its almost as if they support cheaters and gold buyers/sellers and bots.
its proven that currently its not working. so i personally agree with op on this one. sod was testing ground so why not test wow without ability trade gold or auction house.
cause honestly game still be playable and the whales no longer control wow or make it pay to win anymore
I get the point, but I do also get that all professions are now worthless. Some of them virtually unobtailable like Enchanting: you need to skilll up blacksmithing and mining all way up to Arcanite Rod, and then drop professions and pick up enchanting.
I stand by my statement: a one-player WoW would die pretty fast. Note that this is NOT the same as self-found mode: you also have the Hardcore rule to take into account.
thats not true at level60 its often that players for go a profession for another. and for enchanting that is easy solution to fix by selling the rods needed for enchanting from the vendor
