My guess is that it literally took whoever did it about 45 seconds to add a busy indicator of some sort that triggers a global “busy” indicator or whatever additional mechanism they used to determine whether a player is busy on open trade request.

again, another bfa player chiming in on his bfa character because he was part of a blotus mafia that just got smacked down.

Well then, the solution is to decrease server caps then allow free transfers from over populated ones. Not to add ANOTHER layer of “fixes” to a problem that you tried to “fix” before

Comparisons to RTVs are donkey. You can farm DM for RTVs …ALL…DAY…LONG
Put a guaranteed Black Lotus at the end of a dungeon and see what DAT MARKET DO…

I find these quite reasonable. I don’t believe that this is a slippery slope fallacy at all.

Just make it so you can’t see lotus while dead, the botters are just gonna level their bots to 35 and max their herb in no time and go back to the same routine. Or better yet put a ghost killing mob that only appears in lotus zones and spawns on ghosts that are in the same general spot for more than 1 minute. Just sends them back to the gy so afk players won’t have to worry about anything.

F, i was just about to if they didn’t announce anything after this month, AQ getting pretty close

Thank you so much Blizzard… I need to farm and play the game more than I would like to just to afford those, its really a struggle and i’m in a low pop server I can’t even imagine people needing to pay 500g a week in mats just to stay competitive.

Agreed. Instead of 10 level 1s we’re just gonna be seeing 20 level 35s.

What kind of mental gymnastics are you going through. Classic servers are MASSIVELY LARGER than the original servers were 15 years ago. Keeping the spawn rates the exact same but increasing the server size by a magnitude of 3-5x is by definition a change. Keeping ‘fixed’ spawn locations when the servers are bigger is absolutely asinine.

Anybody who thinks this is a slippery slope is just dumb or being completely disingenuous. The argument for not changing other quality of life things is simply because they aren’t dictated by a rare resource that’s camped by people 24/7 and/or bots. Rich thorium isn’t nearly an issue because you can farm it inside an instance, otherwise people would probably agree that it would need to be changed as well.

Classic by definition is a change virtue of servers being massively larger. How you can’t see this is beyond me. Spawn rates and resource acquisition should be dynamic based on server size. If the server size is roughly the same as what server sizes were 15 years ago then it stands to reason that the resources should be the same.

It actually, it’s not. Flasks are purposely restricted because of the immense power they give. So since it s more accesible, raids will be easier.

And thats ignoring the affects on the economy as well

I know I said God was real, but can we take a moment to agree that Alterac Valley should be fixed if WSG is being fixed?

I mean, I play both sides and I’d like to see AV be more than a massacre/2hr que.

They drastically changed the population numbers from what they were in vanilla… Lotus wasn’t proportional. This is a welcomed fix to make it more vanilla like.

Raids are easy, some still flask. Flasks weren’t this exclusive in vanilla, don’t be ridiculous.

I suppose you were benefiting from this?

I still own 8 flasks from investing back in p2. I paid 90g for those, I see no reason for someone today to have to pay 3/4x that price.
