BUT I WANT EVERYTHING ACCOUNT BOUND. Ya…
You can’t compare gold to time. Otherwise people would, and do, just buy retail gold, trade it for classic gold. EASY 15 YEAR OLD GAME.
Grinding for gold is comparable to working below minimum wage under this model. It doesn’t feel good. Gold has a place in the game, but when it is THE way to level, comparable only to out-of-group healer(no xp penalty) elite grinding, it’s just not the authentic vanilla experience.
