Stonescale eel Mafia

Blizzard u need to do something about this item! Because of high usage of flask of titans tons of this item is needed everyday maybe 5-6k. The stonescale botters just w8 a few hours and price always stays high! Also its very easy for 1 guy to buy everything and monopolize flask of titan market! Once this item was less than 1g. Now its always around 3-4g both horde and alliance! Who benefits from this?
Can u increase drop rate of it please?

Bro, botting reduce price of items, not increase. Price increases after botters being banned.

Normal people who can make some money fishing

EVeryone can do it, not only 1 that guy

Titan’s for tanks is a guild effort

Price would increase on ban if all the botters did was farm the fish. Instead they monopolize the marked and jack up the price.

You can’t monopolise the resource that EVERYONE can farm. You can monopolize for example, devilsaur leather or black lotus (pre-change version) as they are very limited supply and you can control it with 2-faction mafia killing competitors. But you can’t monopolize the resource that every player can farm

If “monopolization” in your mind, is buying all items that below X price, it is not monopolization - it is supply and demand. If price increases, more people will do fishing so supply also increases. If supply will increase to the point where supply>demand, all those people who “monopolize” the market buying eel below X price, will lose their money because they won’t be able to sell all flasks/potions they made from those eels.

Not everyone can farm stonescale eel at the quantity its needed every day. Only with bots u can farm 1-2k each day.
This item needs a buff so people can farm it alot without botting.
You can try it go fishing in azshara for multiple hours and maybe you get 200-300x

So you admit that your problem is that blizzard started banning fishing bots more often? Ok :rofl:

Just imagine if blizzard also ban all those DM bots and prices of herbs/lotus also go x2-3. So you basically admit that game can’t exist without botting

It is classic. Not sod, classic+, or other custom season, it’s just classic fresh. It is same as it was in 2005. And you don’t really need titans flask if you are not a tank (even if you want the best logs because this flask doesn’t provide extra DPS), for tanks titans flask can be sponsored from guild bank

If they banned them ok but it doesn’t seem they banned the bots it seems botters are just keeping prices high!
They buffed lotus droprate two times in anniversary im pretty sure lotus didn’t have drop chance from high level herbs in 2005!
So they can also do something about stonescale eel situation in game! Its ridiculous now…

Again, you can go fish for stonescale oil. You can use that advantage of high prices. Prices are based on supply/demand. When resource is farmed by bots, supply is very big, so price is low. When bots getting banned, supply go down so price skyrockets. You can artificially keep price high only in 1 case - if you monopolize farming. It was possible with some limited resources earlier (lotuses, devilsaur leather), but it’s not possible with stonescale. EVERYONE can go fish and sell for any price you want. If you are ready to go fish and sell it for 1g - you are welcome.

Lotuses were +250g to flask price. Stonescales are +30-40g (and in much more late stage of the game with more inflated economy). WHat is ridiculous here? EVen if it goes up to 10g, its not even nearly comparable with lotus situation before change

The price can go all the way up where people think it is worth their time to fish for eel, that is 100g+ of eels fished out in an hour of dedicated gameplay. If the fish is cheaper, it means it is being bottled and it is artificially low. Can you get 100g of eels in an hour at current price? I don’t know, I never tried.

So you need 5-6k fish for your raid evening? I am confused.

I think he means for the entire server.

Yeah :slightly_smiling_face:.
How many eels are needed for a flask for himself? I mean, it’s pretty easy to get them while simply fishing. That’s why I don’t understand his complaint.

10 eels per flask, 2 per elixir and 3 per pot

2-3 tanks in raid who use elixirs and pots, so not really so much needed. Damage warriors may want to use flask, but definitely not elixir/pot

I was literally just saying how many are needed for each thing…

Most fights a tank shouldnt have any need for the pot, tanks might as well take the elixir as its not hurting (other than your money reserves)

Ok, I don’t think these consumables are “necessary” for MC/Ony/BWL/AQ20. So there’s one flask or maybe 2, 3 pots/elixirs needed in a week.
I don’t see any reson why these few eels can’t be farmed during a whole week.

Im totally with you on that its 1 not needed and 2 easily farmed, takes less than a hour to get 2 stacks of them if you are slightly lucky with pool spawns
