Repair costs really vary between classes and specs and content - assuming that most of that cost isn’t coming from deaths.
When I heal dungeons I hardly have any repair bills, but when I do delves and spend the whole time face-tanking mobs, my repair bill is pretty high.
Also, if you are in a raid and you are on a progression boss, many bosses are on platforms where you can jump off once you know it’s a wipe. You don’t take a durability loss when you jump off.
Jokes on you. I’m completely unaware of the fee. I am just very cheap.
I’ve argued prices at a penny candy store.
kinda stacks up fast in raid prog.
we have like 2k given daily and we eat it all up before break on prog bosses.
second half of raid is from people’s own pocket lol
Who repairs gear drops so fast just toss on a new piece
No its no joke since i didnt farm anything or try to make gold lol
Omg 1000gold !!! Omg thats like a 2 minute world quest!!! Omg the horror how can blizzard expect us to play this game with such a massive insanely high repair cost!!! Omits so toxic
Do you not play the game? Honestly how are people so broke.
I had some 600K in my warbank about a month ago, have sold whatever I find on the AH, collected whatever gold I get along the way from things like weeklies and paragon, and anything else I do, have done zero crafting, zero M+/raid runs sold, I don’t go out of my way to do something that someone else pays me for using the service channel, I just log in and do WoW content and now have over 800K in my warbank.
I also buy all my consumables from the AH, it’s cheaper than buying mats and crafting, and far easier than farming my own mats, I am even buying flasks from the AH, upgrading weapons with AH mats and paying people to do the craft, and I am still making money from just playing the game.
Ah still a pretty good for only having to play the game like you want to. Props.
The WoD trust fund babies are still rolling in tens of millions of gold, but everyone else is now dead broke.
I play the parts of the game that I have fun with.
Which is largely M+ Spam and Raiding.
Both of which are Gold Sinks unless you’re selling carries.
When it’s not that, it’s low level Twinking.
Which does not generate gold unless you’re specifically farming Classic Dungeons for mog sales or something.
Do I do my daily / weekly quests? No. They’re braindead and unfun, so I don’t touch them after the first few weeks.
Do I play the AH? No. I’ll post a current expansion rare/epic BoE if I get one, otherwise I ignore it. Again, not fun to monitor it and I’m not actively farming for items that actually sell decently.
well thats as realistic as life gets I suppose
I’ve noticed the gold from WQ dropped significantly from DF to TWW, used to get 500 from the racing bag reward now you get 100. Used to get 2k gold from the world boss WQ in DF, now its close to 900.
But crafted gear is 50- 100k+ gold depending on the realm you’re on. Either its incentive to buy gold or they are trying to deflate the economy after many expansions of inflation.
Dude 600-700 is like a night of raid wiping. If you wipe in m+ for that much, you’re in over your head my friend.
Is player driven and they can ask whatever they want. And if mats are that expensive, doesn’t that make it efficient to farm and sell yourself?
only person to actually respond to the OP, nice! There’s no way those numbers are correct though, what’s the source?
If this is correct: Durability points to be repaired * (ilevel - 32.5) * 0.05 silver
Then fully broken 635 ilvl epics would be: (~800)*(603)*0.05s = 241.2g. My repair bills are around 1200g if durability drops to yellow.
My entire guild noticed tonight that repair bills across the board for all armor classes has gone WAY up in the past couple weeks. No idea why, if it’s a bug or unannounced change Blizz is sneaking under the radar.
Well, I was just thinking they must reflect ‘real life’… ‘death/taxes’ it’s the law. They want to make sure that when you play the ‘game’ , you remember that in real life you get raided just the same. It is an agenda, you can’t exist and not be charged, fee’d, taxed, or robbed. This is just my FUNNY thoughts.
This is absolutely laughable. The gold economy was destroyed the instant Blizz started selling gold. They drastically increased repair costs at the start of TWW solely to increase token sales, and now it seems it worked so well that they are increasing it even further. It’s “what the market will bear”, so they will continue until people start voting with their wallets.
