What is going on here. a 2 hour buff per weapon requires a 6,000 gold null stone? Not even an imperfect one, but a full on stone?
I get enchants being expensive, thats a one time thing. Why is a 2 hour consumable costing an item thats 6,000 gold?
Swap it to imperfect and have the craft make 10 stones or something. OR, the stone just never goes away when you use one, its just a perm item in your inventory. Whats going on here.
I would guess much like Patron Orders, it’s designed to be a Gold Sink.
It’s a disconnect between early expansion where all miners are picking up are damaged null stones, and later in the expansion when all they will mine are Null Stones. Since players set AH prices, not Blizzard, the costs are out of whack until enough miners get enough KP to transition the market from damaged to whole Null Stones.
We aren’t though. We have been picking up full Null Stones for awhile now and it has done little to impact the price of Null Sontes.
Blizzard not Players sets the prices with how rare something is. We can take the recent nerf to cloth drops before and after Blizzard nerfed dropeed rates in the ground. All cloth was cheap before the nerf and soared after the nerf.
Now that cloth has finally started to drop again, prices are going down.
This doesnt make sense … a gold sink is when you give money to the game via an NPC… buying something off the AH isnt really a gold sink outside of the very small AH cut you pay.
It’s a Gold Sink for most players because most Null Stones will be farmed by Gold Farmers.
all the gold sinks like this are intentional, they want us buying wow tokens regularly
Still doesnt really make sense.
nor does this as they dont make new gold for tokens… tokens are sold by players putting up the gold first…
Yeah smart miners are picking up full stones and have been for a while.
Demand is just insane atm and always will be if they’re required for consumables
