How could you NOT be embarrassed?

When you’ve created a game system with a currency that is mathematically impossible to achieve? Well not impossible just until 2 xpacs after it’s current.

A game that rewards you for NOT playing it, just like taking gear off made you more powerful.

There’s a good reason they won’t allow you to play SL with XP off. Like when Lore tried to defend bfa’s broken scaling, the dude never did apologize for being wrong and we’ll never hear from him again.

How can they do a blizzcon with a strait face knowing all it takes is simple math to discover you’ll be farming anima for years.

I wonder, if people added up all the currencies required in, say, B for A, they wouldn’t find out something similar?

In any case, we don’t know how much Anima we’re going to get in the future, so it might be feasible to get this stuff eventually?

They’ll figure it out when someone at the office says “Hey guys… look. Nobody’s doing this content.”

They have to now because the information is out and how many folks are going to return to a game this broken?

Great claim. Where’s your math showing that whatever you’re complaining about is impossible?

What? We are not even at the first patch and if you would have been playing the game you would already have enough anima to finish upgrading your covenant or pretty dang close to it. What is this magic item that you want that cost so much anima? Because all I’ve seen are the transmog stuff and a mount. So, let’s say each transmog is 4k anima at 8 items that’s 32k and another 5k for the mount. Let’s call it an even 40k, that 5 to 6 weeks of farming, tops.

5 to 6 weeks of farming a currency straight, and you have only managed to unlock an armor set, mounts, and a couple of weapons.
Enjoy the other extra 50K or so that you have to put into the covenant for the upgrades.

Something that’s supposed to last the entire expansion isn’t obtainable in a week. Color me shocked.

Yes, I realize that. That’s why I stated, we are not even at the first patch, yet. If , we have the same amount of time between 9.0.5 and 9.1, then by the time 9.1 drops, you should have all the transmogs and mounts, as well as covenant upgrades.

I was going off a post that showed it would take over 1 million anima to acquire all the covenant stuff.

11

Uh…
No.
You do not need 1 Million Anima to acquire everything. Maybe 100K or 150K, but hardly a million.

I did no such thing

Look at that? Well over a million if you added up the currency for items.

The other lore that used to be the guy that made even Ion look enthused during the Q&As.

Lol, you haven’t even looked at the costs of things in game, have you?

Current calculations are that if you earn 1k anima every day it will take between 4 and 5 years of play to get everything.

Well, were three months in…
Will probably not be obtained for quite some time.

You would think there would be some WoWhead post like “Player XXXXXX from Server YYYYYYYY has purchased all anima rewards, it is possible” yet… it hasn’t happened.

They don’t want you to have everything. They want you to be forced into choosing what you like best. So you better follow your heart and not the meta.

Oblivious people asking for proof are hilarious.

You do realize they’re upping anima gains in 9.1 right?

So far there has been no evidence of this other than speculation.

This also assumes they will add no new purchasables. It’s honestly pretty bad design to have 9.0 items unpurchasable until 9.1, but I guess if Blizz is taking the lazy approach, they can use that as justification for not adding new things in the patch.

So now it will take only 3 years instead of 5? It’s the simplest kind of math, a ratio of currency amount available * by the time it takes to acquire.
