2.8 Million Gold Per T3 Set! Absurd Pricing! Predatory!

It’s kind of sad the prices are over a million for 15 something years old pixels.

That’s bait.

Yea I am a bit disheartened by this. 2.8 million… I have 1.8 to my name. You cannot make gold in DF because of many factors… and the BMAH isn’t an acceptable replacement because parts are random and some go for gold cap as well.

Buying gold… would got about $220 give or take just from gold tokens alone. I have a full set in classic already…

Depends on your timeline and the pieces you’re after. I got most of the druid, shaman, rogue, priest and hunter sets for like 10-20k a piece.

These two things contradict each other. I got the set selling gold boosts in arena, I didn’t just buy tokens (which is another way of doing it, and is not free either lol). Educate yourself on the word free.

I mean maybe? If you’re playing the game back in 2005 with 100+ MS, low fps, and with a playerbase with not even half the knowledge they have now. That being said, nah it did not take months to farm out t3.

It was free of effort compared to raiding. That’s what I meant by free.

Sign up for TSM premium, get alerts when the item is on the BMAH, go to the realm where the item is, buy tokens and then get the item.

That seems pretty free to me. Hardest part is waiting for it to show up on the BMAH across all the realms on NA.

That’s harder than raiding and suffering through RNG?

Why are crappy pixelated garbage sets from old expansions so expensive and not just simple drops in the game??

Because they removed the raid in wotlk and with it the original sets, which were later implemented on the bmah in mop where they’ve been available since.

The current method is simply a more direct and reliable means of acquiring them if you’d prefer to avoid the bmah.

Honestly, if you have the patience and time to do this be my guest but you’re wasting more on doing these than playing the game.

That was a genuine attempt to make a barrier to entry, they wanted it to be a meaningful purchase that wasn’t easily affordable to everyone. The same move in todays game would be made just to stimulate token sales.

Don’t worry 6months from now they will all be twitch drops or something of the like.

It doesn’t matter,Because I don’t twitch.This is all to buy time and it is wasting mine.

That only explains why they would be desirable. They don’t also have to be expensive.

They kind of do because they spent a decade on the bmah.

Discount time! Got to move inventory !

Nah, this reliable but more expensive way of targeting pieces is a fine compromise.

That makes no sense. It has to be expensive because it was exclusive to the BMAH for ten years? No. Id wager It’s that expensive in order to keep the BMAH drop also expensive. Or more expensive. It’s better gold sink for people with a lot of gold. And potential a reason to buy a bunch to tokens.

If it was about more players getting T3 it would be cheaper.

But their recolors,old and a decade ! wouldn’t they have moth holes and fabric deterioration by now. Oh wait,that why you have to repair them (Oh i forgot) More time to waste.

It makes perfect sense.

As much as I’m sure everybody was excited to spit all over anybody who had spent gold on the bmah in the past decade it looks like Blizzard decided to accommodate everybody.

Stuff was brought back and can be obtained reliably but also wasn’t made entirely “free”. Everybody wins.

I think not but that’s my opinion. “You wanted it you got it” theme.
