The cost of Black Lotus is getting out of control. I get you are going for preserving the experience, but 250g flasks is not an experience that should be preserved. Give us the black lotus chance on herb nodes.
We already have dual spec, faction balance, cheaper chronoboons. Raiding should not require buying gold or having a mage alt. Not everyone plays this game like a job.
I suspect the price is that high because supply is low and demand is high. Which means people are paying 250g per lotus. If that sounds like a crazy high price to you, especially at this stage of the Anniversary realm, there’s probably different questions you should be asking… such as how do people have that much disposable income?
I’m just curious where are all these guilds that are REQUIRING flasks? They can ask you to bring them, but doesn’t mean you have to. You can do all the content without it. Hell without flask I’m still top-mid dps. It’s more of the “parsing” culture that people brought to classic that really isn’t needed in the first place.
