You ignore other facts. There are many ways to make gold without needing to kill things.
This dude defiance is I’m my guild lmao. I think I’m going to /gquit when the servers go back up. What a clown I cba being in a guild with people like this gamer dad.
What are you even complaining about gold for. You only raid log anyway what do you need to respec for?

I for one welcome the destruction of an in game economy. I struggle enough IRL to ensure I have enough money for everything I need. I’m not a fan of needing to grind in a game for the same.
“The price of literally everything has dropped down to nothing at this point. I can’t make even 100g an hour farming anymore.”
Make a 70 mage and boost people in slave pens, that’s 300-400 gold per hour
or
Make a 70 paladin and farm stratholme.

agree to the bot issue, but if the price of literally everything has dropped down to nothing, shouldn’t logically the costs to buy stuff also dropped down to nothing?
in before: but muh epic mount. there’s enough gold from quests at 70 to nearly fund your epic mount.

bot can farm red gems. rogue miners in dungeons. prospect the ore.
sitting on 12 noble topaz, 10 living ruby, 10 dawnstone, 8 nightseye, 14 talasite, 27 primal air, 6 fire, 8 earth, 14 shadow, 10 life, 11 water… after nuking my primal inventory making khorium and ragesteel plate sets to lvl.
any class can herb, mine, or engineer bare naked no matter the spec. lots of people have alts you chose to create your own problem by not doing the same.

My server is 80% horde and 20% alliance, farming primals isn’t an option really unless you want to be ganked all day in 3vs1 scenarios. That’s why I leveled pally alt and geared him up for aoe farming in strat. The price of primals has no effect on me making 250g an hour from vendoring, cloth and disenchanting green.
My main is an herbalist and I use that for extra gold when bored and to make consumes, I’ve never seen a single Mana thistle in the wild, every single one I got was from those stupid pvp reward boxes.
Another thing to remember is they removed layering and TBC/Classic have populations triple that of vanilla versions.

Someone asked where are the bots.
They are at:
Throne of Kil’Jaeden farming mote of fire
At the entrance of Shattrath farming mote of water
Hellfire Peninsula farming mote of shadow
Etc
Also, i have checked the dungeons today and i was able to find at least 40 unguilded mages coming in and out from Shadowlab. They all had level 58 boosted trinkets.

I agree with you on the Mana Thistle. They are too rare.
They should just add more spawning points. Of course prices will go down some, but at least everyone will be able to find some more than once a week. (I believe they must’ve at some point because I found way more back when I was farming them (it was during WotLK tho).
Not asking to have a bajillion mana thistle nodes here… But having 10x what we have now would be decent, especially if they activate some in other zones like Shadowmoon to spread the availability around and not reserve them to only one/two zones.
The OCD "BiS’ & cheesy parsing-pvp raid/dungeon drones are the worst part of this game, with gold/node farming bots a close 2nd.
I know the feeling. Leveled a farming mage.

Cudos for actually not only understanding how bots affect the economy but also showing an example of how it affects your gameplay experience.
Most ppl claim they cause inflation. Artards.
However. It only affects the npc bought and sold goods. Player to player transactiins remain equal. U sell for cheaper but you can also buy cheaper.
Quick question for you. In wotlk, u are able to get dual spec and not have to pay. So now the bot deflation is not affecting respec costs? Do you have any other probs with bots lowering prices? They lower mat costs but that also lowers every other player to player price.
I get my gold from questing. The gold i make from questing pays for spec changes. The bots allow me to buy cheaper mats.
It cost 1000g when it was first released. Was lowered to 10g during Cata.
Maybe dont farm the most competitive and overfarmed resource in TBC? Get creative like the rest of us.
For sure. U am refering to after the initial payment. You dont pay again. I have already spent well over 1000g in respecs. And i will continue to. Because it is how the game was designed. They allow me to change specs. I agree that bots make the cost more challenging to pay for if i rely in sale of goods to earn the fee. But after it is free. Then what? What negative effect are bots causing?
The “rest of us” ?
Sorry, I’m not that creative. I just kinda, I dunno. The gold gets there. I guess quests are one thing but not sure. I guess I just run across stuff and get lucky at the AH sometimes?
This is the truth. I doubt the op actuallly has a problem with lower prices. He must have had the thought pop in his head and found one example of how lower prices can have a negative effect.
For most people. Lower prices are good.
Yes u earn less but u can buy the same because those prices also go down. Except npc prices. They stay the same.
I would still rathet have the lower prices. If it were the other way then we could sell a stack of ore for 5k gold and pay for epeic flying. Yea!! But then we want to enchant something and have to pay 5k gold for a shard. No thanks.
