Disappointed to see mage dungeon boosting present in SoD

This has to be the nost troll post yet. Mages should be nerfed because you legitmately believe they inject gdkps worth of gold into the economy? Thats absolutely bonkers. Go sit down until you actually understand botting-based gold generation and stop being so jelly.

A bloated economy affects everyone you goofball.

I see this logic being used everywhere and it’s the most ignorant take.

It does directly affect you.

Now I don’t have as much skin in the game as some people, but I want an overall healthy economy that doesn’t require me to invest hours upon hours in order to buy consumes or other necessary items because gold farmers and buyers hike up all the rates.

So people who participate in GDKPs spawn in with 1000g ready to spend on items?

If botting and swiping your credit card wasn’t a thing, mage boosting is arguably the best source of gold generation and injection in the entire game. That’s literally what these bots do, sit at hyperspawns 24/7 looting, pickpocket botting, fly hack in dungeons.

you guys do realize that if the mage isnt selling the gold to other players , the gold just usually sits on the mage or their alt for gear thats bis and would be expensive anyways?

the most they are buying is pots or other such stuff that would remain about the same price either way.

edit to add:

this is also a small portion of the playerbase that is even capable of the wc pull or even the rfc one other than the first part of it which sells boosts for less than 1g to pull 100 mobs maybe.

its not as common for them to even be successful and not die every 3 runs in a row which alot of people dont even charge if they die but whatever.

No, no, the only way to get gold in this game is to buy it. The forums have decreed that all mobs just drop ads for RMT sites. Gold doesn’t exist without swiping. Please do not spread this false info

Sorry buddy but this kind of thinking just doesn’t encompass the last ten years of developments in machine learning.

Any one of Seth Blings videos about training a neural net to speed run a game will swiftly sober you up.

That’s not even taking into account the last two years of progress in LLMs and Stability AIs gifts to the world…

Gone are the days where bots run from human crafted instruction sets. Memory injection bots are so last decade.

A lock complaining about Gold influx. Like the 100s of locks charging gold for summons for WB’s isnt the same thing.

How? Make a group and do it normally and it literally doesn’t effect you at all.

It seems you’re in need of some to time to update your thinking.

I welcome you to try this. I have spent over 100 hours learning this and getting it down. It is NOT that easy. And the amount of mages I have had to try to help learn it and fail is nuts. Do not post my video and try to use it as an example. I am able to do what 0.001% of mages are doing atm.

Its like you guys have zero understanding of how the game has always worked and instead live in some fantasy version of what the game was.

You are so lost. There is a handful of mages that can do this and not a single one I know does anything with that gold RMT wise. I have farmed an insane amount of gold and guess what that gold is doing? Literally nothing. It just sits here and looks nice with the hopes of buying any consumable/BoE ide want in future phases.

Ty for having a brain. And yes I am indeed the mage in question and the gold is just sitting here looking pretty and going nowhere. ATM I know and have helped like 6-8 mages learn this. And, judging by the comments on the YT video it doesn’t seem like many more are able to.

All these posts. Op was either upset that he was struggling to find a dungeon group and saw a boost thefor equating if boosts didn’t exist he would have one

Or he he dosen’t want to level an alt mage and is mad his chosen class can’t farm as well. There is always selfish reasons at the core of these posts. Always.

You aren’t remotely coherent. Which is it? Mages need to nerfed for injecting too much gold into the economy? Or bots inject gold into the economy? You’ve said both so far.

You can’t just say “if bots didnt exist” to forward some mage nerf argument. They do. Who cares where gold would come from if they didnt?

Yeah… If blizzard took the time to moderate the activity in their game we wouldn’t have any of these problems, and mages could boost for legit gold and this would be a non-issue. Legit players doing boosts for gold literally doesn’t affect anyone nor does it affect the economy. You’re paying someone for a service. You cannot blame legit players for other people swiping cards. We merely benefit from them inconsequentially because being a mage all these years boosting etc. has been the way I make gold for raid consumes and gearing alts.

Says the mage lol, shouldn’t we all be concerned? If what op is saying to be true then you mages are inflating the economy. Stop it bad mages. Maybe that’s why everything cost so much more than it should be. BUT on the other hand this SHOULD be a thing because it’s SOD, A FUN SERVER. So more gold is more fun :smiley:

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic because there’s no /s
