quests also generate gold.
quests
raw gold from humanoids
and vendoring items
the only 3 ways to generate gold.
if you think that ONLY boosters are doing any of these 3 you are… idk lol.
the entire server does these 3 things constantly. and boosters / bots make up a small fraction of the characters on a given realm, granted those bots are active far more often than normal players in generating gold.
They don’t though.
If there was some chance a gold change is implemented as we progress into TBC… I believe it would follow the guidelines that are set when transferring to a server… Gold Cap / Level restrictions apply
While I do not foresee a cap/reset implemented because it didn’t happen in vanilla as we transition between patches/expansions.
But anything can happen and who knows Marty Mcfly and Emmett Brown might change the past on their DeLorean
Heavy… I know
Except they arent doing it as much.
I mean look at questing, most players dont even quest anymore, they buy boosts.
On my server alone the boosters are EASILY generating 5,000+ gold PER DAY.
Multiply that by ATLEAST a YEAR.
No way regular players generate anywhere near that kind of gold.
There are way less raw gold farms in TBC patches. The only exception is terrain abuse/fly hacking karazhan and black temple trash mobs. Which is really only abusable on a hunter.
generating 5000g?
no, they can’t.
Like i mentioned. if i was lucky i was able to get 30g worth of stuff to vendor for an entire set of mara, and this was because I was deleting the cheap stuff in my bags to make room for things that actually vendored for more.
the booster usually doesnt loot. so only 4 people max might be looting. and sometimes even the boosters dont loot cuz they dont care.
so on average you got 3 people looting. 3 people getting 25-30g worth of vendor trash after 5 runs.
thats a max of 90g a boost. the booster is not selling 56 sets of mara boosts.
please stop bloating numbers to prove a point.
your numbers are vastly wrong.
Even low balling, you would make 10g per run, so 50g for 5 runs.
With 3 others looting.
So in 5 runs that’s 200g worth of loot, the booster did not loot anything.
50g times 4 people.
So he generated 200g in about 75 minutes.
He is not the only booster. There are usually 4+ mara boosters on at a time on my server.
Not to mention there is.
Deadmines
Stocks
Sm
Strat
I won’t list ZG as you don’t get to loot.
These boosts are an ALL DAY THING.
1 booster in mara is generating around 900g/day by himself, 1 mara booster.
You must be on a dead server.
no im not low balling. you are high balling
out of the… lets saaay.
80+ times ive been apart of a mara boost, ive never been able to vendor 50g worth if items.
assuming you have completely empty bag slots and 14 slot bags.
you have 70 bag slots available to stuff with loot (most people do not fully clear their bags for this)
if you are lucky each slot will net you at least 50 silver.
which probably wont as most of the crap that stacks up in mara vendors for less than 30s at a max stack.
the only thing that vendors for more than 50s are some choice gear and the weapons.
which based on experience, on average you will probably only get about 10-20 of those based on luck.
again you will never convince me otherwise because based on my experience you are full of crap lol.
maybe im the unluckiest looter in the world but this is my experience.
and boosters may be boosting for 12 hours a day, but they spend a good portion of that time spamming LFG> it may take them 20-30 minutes to completely fill up, depending on the time of day and the amount of other boosters competing for customers.
you do factor in so many things when trying to calculate how much gold they produce and its grossly exaggerating the problem
you are also not factoring in boosters who die, boosters who DC, players who do stupid things and die and the booster waits for them to zone back in.
so many things
I use 16 slot bags.
I discard stuff while they pull that doesn’t sell for over 1g.
Sorry you’re 100% wrong on this.
In a 300 pull mara which is COMMON 4 people looting on average can loot 75 mobs PER RUN.
Green 2h sell for 3g+ EACH.
Make room by getting rid of the bad trash items.
I can have basically FULL bags by the time the 5 runs are over with all items that sell for 1g+/EACH.
If I’m not full I will keep the grey shields they sell for 98 silver.
Stop keeping the bad items that fill up your space, delete them. Don’t keep the trash herbs.
You are doing it wrong.
I have hardly ever lost gold buying mara runs.
I’m sorry but they are infact generating 5k+ gold per day on my server between all the boosts that run 24/7.
lol… you are assuming every single person brings 16 slot bags completely empty???
you are assuming that everyone is getting 20 2H greens that vendor for near 3g???
you are… a complete idiot dude.
Yeah I’m the idiot meanwhile you’re too stupid to know how to right click and loot.
Even with 14 slot bags if you go there completely empty you have what say 65 free slots between your hearthstone and other things you may want to keep.
You don’t need to loot 20 two handers.
Even the gray weapons sell for over a gold.
So because you’re too stupid to do it it means it can’t be possible sorry I’m not as bad as you.
Yet another “I want classic, but completely changed.”
