Relic Of The Past Nerf

I come to you as a gold maker and a wow player. I run a youtuber channel that creates ways to make gold for new, returning , and old players alike.

I am not here to promote my channel. I am here to speak for my subscribers and me.

The nerf that went out today is uncalled for. People where ready and excited to make some gold. Until the requirement was put in last min. At 25 thread needed at 4 gold each totaling 100g Min to make a relic. This is uncalled for. Putting a lot of players in a hole. It would be 1 thing if this was announced months ago.

But its 6 days before pre-patch,

This nerf is way to much. As in beta right now you can by 5 thread for 5 gold. Why could this not be how it works on ptr.

This will cause many players to not return or resub. Knowing raids, dungeons and the like are nerfed to the point of no return.

Cause many sources of raw gold are to be gone. If this is a knee jerk reaction to wand shuffle. Why not instead just make it where they could not DE the vendor items.

I implore any blizzard mods or staff to reach out. We are not even asking for full reversion. Make them like it is in beta 5 thread for 5 gold.

Also its just not raw gold this will hurt new players trying to craft. Due to high gold demand for materials.

Ty for listening hope this gets fixed

This is completely unbelievable. Why do you give us hope and then snatch it away? This is another knee jerk reaction from Blizzard because a few people were abusing an issue. In typical Blizzard fashion, you choose to punish the entire community instead of fixing something internally.

Is this an out of season April’s fools joke?
It has to be
 Otherwise its just stupid. 6 days before pre-patch and you nerf this to the ground because you couldn’t fix a simple bug? And don’t tell us that you don’t want a big influx of gold going into the market when you allow multiboxers in the game (just because they pay for multiple accounts
 What a surprise)
You gotta fix this and leave it as it was and just make vendor items not disenchantable

Bots and multi-boxers are just fine I guess. People grinding for gold solo is a no no.

Everyone knew the risk of betting on something still in beta.

I feel for the raw gold players who were hunting for their next niche, but it was wildly broken and needed to be nerfed. If you filled guild banks with cloth, stocked 200K essences (ow), that was a gamble, and surely you knew that? I was under the impression that people jumping on this were all basically saying “Okay, this will almost certainly get nerfed lol, but I’ll take a stab just in case, and we’ll see what happens”. But apparently a tonne of people really didn’t see a problem with the state of the system and were banking on it being permanent
? This had “far too good to be true” stamped all over it, come on.

Honestly I wouldn’t have been surprised to see bans if it had gone live. People stood to make millions from relatively small investments.

Having said that, the price of the vendor reagents could possibly be toned down/dialed back a little though, it does seem a little heavy handed. If the vendor prices had been more moderate and considered to begin with, it wouldn’t have gained the traction that it did. It’s a shame it took so long to get around to fixing it, and as a result unfortunately it has left a lot of people feeling like it was a bait and switch at the 11th hour, but it really needed a nerf.

You’re not taking into consideration the crafting time it will take to even make the shuffle (days of crafting) so most people wouldn’t even bother to do it and if they did, good for them. It had its up and downsides but it wasn’t gamebreaking. Yeah i know that the monk’s staff bug was really broken, but that’s what needs to be fixed and it wasn’t something “new”. They could’ve done it long time ago so it’s their fault, not ours. All i can say is that this a lazy way to “fix” something. Shame on them.

Relics was way too powerful, but this is essentially taking it out back and shooting it.

The system could have been a way to allow people to retain relevant raw gold gains from old content, rewarding people for actually using their professions with an alternative method.

Now?
Raw gold is only viable for multi-boxers, who are still going to do excessive damage to the economy and drive people out of farming spots.

What is your priority here Blizzard?
Average players trying to make gold, or an actual exploitation of game mechanics?

Tune it so the vendor costs on relics are actually fair.
Don’t kill the system. The vendor cost of the Shadowlands material also makes it unappealing for making leveling gear. My BG groupwas excited we’d be able to play around with crafted gear for our battlegrounds, but now the gold sink isn’t appealing at all.

My sympathies for your and your viewers gold. Frustrating to have done your stockpiling and preparing and see it go for nothing.

That said are you really gonna claim this is a shock?

This was the most obvious, saw it coming, has happened every time, not the least bit surprising update of all time.

we’re talking about the vendor shuffle right?

yeah, that needed to be nerfed, and it shouldn’t have been a surprise it was nerfed, a similar thing happened with the tailoring bracers a few months back and that was nerfed as well.

The long-term priority is to get people out of old content entirely. Everybody will do mythic raiding, MDI, and rated PvP and their chores. And nothing else. The world be removed so those of you who hate going out can enjoy your Lobbies of Warcraft.

Their priority is to only let multiboxers earn gold (thus making blizz earn money, not the regular player)

I mean the blames on you for dumping gold in something that was clearly a bug and wouldn’t make it into live. Faults your own there man. Should have waited to see if it made it to live before jumping onto it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
