You’re acting like it’s still the start of the expansion when gold was flowing more freely. Now we’ve got all this extra catch-up gear raining from the sky plus it’s not even the start of a raid tier anymore so people aren’t hammering the AH to get supplies for raiding.

Look rl, have a job, a life. I don’t have time to level an alt and make 5 mil gold at this time.
To be honest that this is the “viable” suggestion is crap. It’s a crappy situation that blizzard has created and has left us with crappy solutions at best if this stands.

Learn to deal with what? I’m sorry I don’t understand what you’re trying to get at here. 5 million in two weeks, with your method of “part of the AH”, is impractical.

Benthic will be dead come 8.3. And even if most crafting professions aren’t making a lot of gold (which was an issue long before benthic gear), the materials are still worth something.
Like 50g, that’s what crafting materials cost now for a stack of 200 on my server. It might not even sell.
8.3 is adding BoA tokens that turn into item level 400 gear.
Unless that item can be upgraded beyond 400, I don’t see the allure.
Its a competitor for alts. Which shadowlands and its 70% decreased leveling time is kind of killing leveling alt pursuits as well.
Still waiting to hear you admit you were wrong!

If someone wants to push content on alts, they won’t wait for SL.
my 2¢, stop just changing things and taking stuff away for no reason.
Here’s a crazy idea, how about adding stuff to the game that makes me want to keep playing, rather than taking away stuff that I might want to pursue?

I only have one monitor, probably only about ~20 inches or so lol
I’d like a bigger one, but currently not in the cards unfortunately
I don’t post much, and I rarely ‘like’ a post - but you got a ‘like’ on the other thread and you are getting one here as well.
As I said in your thread and earlier here:
Had it been known I would have made different decisions regarding my spending. I bought gifts for friends/family, converted gold to blizz balance, bought pets and mounts from the AH, etc. - I would guess over 1.5M gold … Had I known this from the start, I would have kept more of my gold.
I had to save and buy both the mammoth and yak in later expansions and had no reason to think I would not be able to do the same with this one. This was totally avoidable and capricious. I’m in complete agreement that we should have been told from the outset…

Well, it’s not like Benthic is going to stop being upgradable. So you can get item level 400 gear easily, then work on Benthic gear to go even higher. All without even looking at the AH.
So you saying I should level an alt on a large population server and try making 5 mil gold on it before shadowlands is out?
Its not impossible, if the issue is with your server, then its not Blizzards problem other than try to help servers with low pop.
It is their issue when they caused it.

The effects of Benthic are only viable in Nazjatar though, no reason to keep it once you move into 8.3 content.
They didn’t make people quit your server. I’m sorry that your server is “dying”, but that’s not relevant to the issue of the mount. It might be a contributing factor for why you can’t do it on a specific character, but it does not stop your ability to get the mount.
You are not constrained to a single server.

Someone said there’s going to be tokens which will compete with crafted gear.
Also shadowlands faster leveling time is decreasing alt leveling cause why work hard now when it’s going to be easier in less than a year’s time by 70%
