Yes yes… you know better then everyone. Mount gold sinks dont work and im sure the player base would love an increasing respecc cost on whatever borrowed power thats in use atm.
So lets make it cost 1k and eatch time one respeccs conduits or covenant… whatever it increases by 50%… so say a person respecs 10ish times that would make the total gold spent what… near 1mil gold?
Im sure the player base would love that kind of gold sink and im sure it wouldnt rise the prices on about everything in game at all ^^
And what if all 3 of your specs use the same soulbind like warlock, or if you’re a demon hunter and you enjoy tanking and dpsing. Then what? Should people who enjoy playing their whole class just suck it up and pay exponentially more and more gold because they don’t want to just stick with 1 thing?
When it starts making more sense to level a new character or farm out a whole new set like in BfA than it is to engage with the provided respec system, you have a bad system.
That’s just 1 mount you can buy on the BMAH. Even mounts you can still obtain go for millions on the BMAH, TCG and T3 go for hundreds of thousands to millions. Cosmetics is the only gold sink that works but it’s not like everything has to cost millions either.
Says the guy who keeps bringing up a system we all saw fail in BfA and is not exactly popular in classic either apart from with #nochanges gang.
I wonder how you can think like this. Inflation doesn’t matter. Even if I will get 50 gold for boosting a 15 that purchase power will stay the same. Imagine thinking the hardcore players have the most gold. No dood, the people that have the most gold are advertisers and AH flippers, majority of whom don’t raid. Forgot to mention multiboxers. On top of that like 25% the players of the mythic raiding guilds are poor as a wharf rat and constantly cause problems with not having money for pots or to repairs. That’s why boosts exist, so you can give them money so they can raid. The gold sinks like 600k gold for a legendary do not help.
Nobody disagrees that gold sinks are the way, its just you’re targeting it wrong.
Put damn player housing in and sell golden toilets for 500 million gold. Someone will buy one. Yea, my idea isn’t good but its about as good as the stuff mentioned here, and at least its novel.
How glad i am that Popgligor is not in Blizz to make those ideas reality, they’d run the game in to the ground faster than the current devs ever could.
Making raiding expensive as hell would be a death sentence to it, even now it’s quite costly unless you farm all your consumables
None of the suggestions target people who mass up gold for the sake of having gold or who don’t raid.
Only gold sinks that could work are amazing unique transmog and unique mounts, not just some recolours or reskins.
