“I want MMO’s to be as casual as possible”
Why don’t you just go play Fortnight and stop ruining our game?
Ruining the game is bringing huge amounts of gold into an expansion not built around it and seeing nothing wrong with that.
MMOs are supposed to be casual. Hell that was WoW’s entire claim to fame, being a more accessible/easier/casual version of Everquest.

Gold has very little value in TBC. Afaik many of the valuable/essential items are BoP. If you are concerned about people quickly getting epic flying, you’re worried about the wrong thing.
I am more worried about people inflating the price of everything on the AH like they currently do with classic flasks/etc.
Complete bs from forum dwelling morons. It was supposed to be more casual then EQ and as people like you continued to cry about “muh convenience” the game turned into foxes playing volleyball. Stop trying to ruin something that is supposed to be set in stone.
I don’t think the carryover gold matters as much as you believe it does. Like I said most “valuable” items are BoP and for the rest gold isn’t exactly hard to come by in TBC. This whole gold thing is the biggest non-issue.
Then why the pushback against preventing the gold bloat from entering tbc?

You’d probably be pushing back too if you spent hundreds of real life dollars on gold, or if you spent thousands of hours farming it legitimately.
It’s the same reason why Americans are against gun control. Even though it takes away a part of something they don’t really need, they feel like they’re entitled to it because they’ve earned it, even if it has the potential to harm others.
Pros: I keep my gold.
Cons: I don’t keep my gold.
Freedom of choice seems far more reasonable. For those who farmed thousands and thousands of gold and items, let them keep it. For players who want to avoid an already messed up economy, have a fresh server or two for 1-70 (with certain vanilla farms gimped). I’d play a fresh server, but there’s no way I’ll go along with the current mess. I’m not alone in this. I was hoping to play TBC as a content lul will be coming and I doubt retail will hold my attention through that. So it’s basically fresh TBC or I’ll likely end up unsubbing. I’m just playing SL for the cut scenes honestly…

For JC or leveling blacksmithing I assume? Most people who are sitting on it (on my server atleast) are for personal use because we know everyone else is sitting on it for profit.
It could shave some leveling time off but really? TBC flasks and potions are superior while the amount of demons in instances while commonish are superceeded by just about eveyr other mob type in the game.Same goes for out in the world leveling and in raids. Out of 15 raid bosses in tier 4 3 of them are demons, tier 5 has 2x 0.5 demon bosses and tier 6+ is the only places where it could come into play, even then you’d get bigger overall gains using a flask for an entire raid.
Potions work differently in TBC, can’t use them in arena and nobody try-hards that hard in BG’s. Useful for wpvp sure, but i’d rather have a couple of bag slots spare for vendor trash.
I have a blacksmithing kit ready to go, enough gold for riding and enough to buy the skins for leveling my LW and the BoE’s I need too craft.
Anything else I basically don’t need as everyman and his dog is holding matts to profit from the new content which is going to result in a completely glutted market.
Not only that but bringing over your gold from classic into tbc is no different than what happened in the past when tbc was released.
I’m not sure how it’s a con to allow the same thing that played out last time, to happen again. The real argument the op is saying is how it’s unfair that players in 2020-21 have a lot more knowledge than they did back in 2004-05 and therefore are bringing a lot more gold into tbc this time around.
People thought they were prepped for Naxx too but here we are at 100g/stack plaguebloom and 40g/stack dreamfoil.
You remember TBC differently than I do. BG9 was full of try-hards.
Try-hards will use whatever will make them parse the highest even if that means using outdated consumables get an extra 0.1% damage.
For me Blizz has done what they said they would release classic. At no point did they even talk or give an inclination that classic wasnt going to be a museum piece. IMO classic should stay that a museum pice like TBC should be kept a museum piece and its own entity outside of classic and what was done there. This allows each exp a chance to grow from start with new players returning from retail to play tbc and those from classic moving on to a new beginning. I have gold and lots of it, but being a parent i look at the health of it all and quite frankly a reset is the way to go. I think you would see the people saying they wouldnt play, still play. Make each expansion a museum piece, its own entity with no interlinking other then an accout not a character. jmo
I mean a lot of us just bought a few every week and didn’t use them. I’m just now getting through my Mageblood stockpile on my Paladin, and I only pop them on certain fights.
Eh, let them try-hard, I’ll be inside a BG for enough Honor to get the next season worth of off-set Resilience gear.
This is created using a single Ghost Mushroom and Gromsblood, two things I can casually farm up in DME at lvl70 without any competition or worry. Even if these become the prime choice for the demon bosses, we’re talking a few casual walk through of DME without even worrying about mob aggro 95% of the time. This will be welcome over chugging Relentless Assault and whatever Fel Lotus prices end up being.
LIPs became “reduce physical damage by 120” in Patch 2.1, so I doubt they’ll remain useful at all unless we get staggered patching… which means people will be stacking every consumable possible with flasks and wbuffs to get to Hyjal ASAP. I doubt this will happen.
FAPs are still great and will continue to work for a lot of things, but Blackmouth Oil and Stranglekelp aren’t exactly pricey reagents, even right now with them being used like crazy and there being actual “competition” for drudging the coastlines of Darkshore and Westfall.
should I actually care about the former, and if you spent thousands of hours just farming gold in classic, you:
a) have a serious problem
b) likely were paid for your farmed goods with a large amount of rmt gold permeating the game.
In either case: no sympathy whatsoever, and such should not even be a blip on the caremeter of blizzard when deciding how to proceed.
Or perhaps many of us are adult enough to recognize that statistically you are more likely to be killed by blunt force trauma.
Sure but that’s like saying you should stand on top of your house during a thunderstorm with a large metal pole in your hands because it’s more likely that you’ll be involved in a car accident than be hit by lightning.
Sure, but perhaps you should actually look at hard data about causes of death in the US, before you veer into the ridiculous topic of “gun control”. Then find a forum where it is more suitable a subject. But yeah, get educated a bit first.
