I’m sorry I don’t buy it. Even top players are broke, Roxy’s is literally recommending builds with 600m gold in the bank and they play professionally spending entire workdays gaming. Do you have all your pieces triple masterworked? Are you enchanting passive ranks on your amulets? Like maybe if you don’t do any of these activities and you are just okay to walk around with mediocre gear and yellow crits maybe you can grind that from hordes. I am making gold, probably around 500m a day between content and trade but I spend it just as much. I am working on two characters at the moment and it has been really hard this season. Only because the power creep is high and everything dies with a half-baked build no one really cares. I personally really dislike the way the dumbed Lilith, she is supposed to be the pinnacle boss, a build testing encounter, like even the most average Joe can kill her now so if you were hoping to make gold by carrying people to Lilith or bosses that is gone now. I would prefer for the game to become more difficult skill wise not mat-gated. Yes, all ARPG are grinding but I just can’t agree that gold is not issue. I’m sorry.
