Funny that a mage is asking to get the cost down, when mages are single handedly inflating the economy like crazy with AoE farm runs.
This is like 1-3 hours of farming for a mage. Not really that absurd for a luxury item that lasts an entire run.
I spend an hour a week just farming the 6 firewaters I need for 2 hours of raiding on my warrior.
So the difference is in BC they also changes how flasks/elixirs work so either flasked or elixired and encounters were designed around that. In vanilla definitely for the current content you are not expected to be max buffed with everything.
Yes I’m aware, I was there when it happened. And I agree with it (the alternative would have been Sunwell tuned for max buff all–in addition to being ridiculously overtuned). I don’t agree with the current availability and cost. It’s more scarce due to server pop caps and player participation. It needs changes. #changethis.
Sure but if blizzard increased the availability of flasks would you also be okay with them reducing the potency of flasks to be more in line with elixirs(which they also did in BC)
Standing around on Heartseeker in Ironforge and it’s easily 2-3x the number of players as Dalaran PvE was back in Vanilla. This also fails to factor in the sheer amount of players all over the world, heavily invading popular farming spots that weren’t conceived back then, and the heavy amount of players that is several magnitudes greater in Stormwind.
The realms have an increased capacity. Horde was the minority on my home server, and the difference in size between then and now would never account for the massive amount of Alliance on this realm compared to a ‘High’ population Vanilla server.
Why Blizzard is always reluctant to release server capacity numbers is beyond me. It’s not even useful to hide it for marketing purposes at this point (whereas hiding active population is).
Just scanned Heartseeker, there’s 1,417 Alliance online on Friday at 6:24 P.M.
Probably what, 200 Horde? Let’s say 283 for a grand total of 1,800 players online during Covid on a Friday at prime-time.
Glinda, do you still predict flask prices will hit 500g?
That’s a perfectly valid opinion. No-one can disagree with your opinion. We all accept that YOU consider 150 gold per flask “ridiculous”.
Of course that’s just your opinion. That price is not “ridiculous” to me or anyone except you. It isn’t everyone’s opinion, or a fact.
In my opinion, $800 for a smartphone is “literally ridiculous”. But millions of Apple customers pay that much.
150g is ridiculous according to my opinion.
It’s also objectively WAY higher than it should be if the game is supposed to be like vanilla. Of course, that’s because servers are absolutely PACKED compared to what they used to be in vanilla.
