Resources and Marketplace

[Leapinwizard-warsong]

I want to say a few things about the wow economy.

Blizzard does not mark items useless until the new expansion.
I find this to be very bad when every thing you work for is then useless.

Harvesting mats to craft items. I harvest herbs and mines.
When you have 5 mulita boxers in the prime zones, you get hardly any mats and your at the mercy of the Auction House Bullies, Yes Bullies as they really do control the market on mid size servers. As the time passes the prices remain very high and always at the same cost.

I use to have to deal with auction house snipers, still do.
Now I think there are auction house bots that post items. All done by apps, always dictating prices. I would guess cell phone apps.
I always see a item list for 10,000 gold, I put mine up for 8,000 gold and with in a few minutes, I was undercut by two or more listings at the same time.
I battle with them bots and them they will then buy my item at 1/4 of what they always have it listed at. i lose again.

I can not do high end content unless I pay 100,000k for a helper. Just to get a item 30 points higher then what I already have. If I do pay for better gear runs 6 times, that is more gold then I can earn in the full year.
I always have to pay Auction House Taxes too and pay real world taxes to Buy WoW Tokens. They guys that get paid 100k to help pay no fees for 100k.

Blizzard does not post level restriction on items when made, only after the new expansion and then it become useless.

For the last 4 months, I have bought wow tokens to buy herbs, I think listed 15 wow tokens to get gold, I also sell lots of items on the auction house and use the gold to buy more herbs and other mats.
As the only place to get mats is off the AH, as the militia boxers make me spend hours trying to items and I get little returns.

I have lots of enchantment mats, I seen the weapon enchantments for SL and then the BFA seem better and for a lot less cost then the newer weapon enchantments, at this time, in a year, maybe they will be upgraded.
But they are not marked with a level cap, neither are the last enchantments from legion.

Any how, for the last few months, I been crafting War Scrolls, It takes about 11 seconds just to make the one scroll, not counting all the other things that need to be done.

I have over 200,000 herbs in the banks, I play 3 realms.
I have over 120,000 crimson inks in the banks.
I have over 10,000 scrolls in the banks.

I spent 2 millions gold on herbs and spent days crafting the inks. it takes 10 hours a day for weeks to craft them items.
I have a high end computer with graphics card. it makes a lot of heat when running the air conditioner.

So what does blizzard do to make their customers happy?

Bio brake.

OK, they do nothing but make lots of money selling wow tokens.
I lost too much in countless ways for years to paly this game.
I played on Bleeding Hollow for years before phasing, I thought blizzard made me target practice dummy for the horde. I in the first years leveled many toons on BH.
Took months to level and the run back times from some of the grave yards was over minutes. Not to mention all the paid for buffs I lost getting gawked.

Now after all the time and fees I paid to level up, I now get to watch the newbies come in and get max level in a few weeks…

I have nothing to show for all the 120 levels I had to complete.

My stress level is higher then my 12 toon levels.

Maybe they are useless because the person is choosing not to utilize them This toon I have mining. Yet their bank is probably filled up with as many cloth and patterns and ores and bars. The cloth isn’t useless just because it is sitting there, it’s potential mats for an alt.

The nodes don’t belong to anyone, they are free game for anyone in that zone.

The AH is a free market where people are free to list goods for what they want. If people undercut or get sniped, it happens. That’s all part of using a free market.

You’re in a guild (assuming one that isn’t self created for more bank space) Why are you not asking your guild mates for help? If they are not willing to help, why are you not looking for a guild that would be willing to help you?

You are paying for runs? When you have the potential resources at your disposal to get free runs? Maybe instead of wasting money on runs, do a transfer to a server that is more open to helping people without charging them for runs?

See the comment I made about the AH and it being a free market. Also to add, no one forces you to spend your real money on tokens. That is a conscious choice you are making. If you feel like you’re not making a decent return on your investment. STOP INVESTING!

My stress level is higher then my 12 toon levels.

If the game is stressing you out that much, maybe take a break?

If you really feel that way then you are taking this game way too seriously.

It’s a video game, if you’re not having fun then it’s time to move on. Find something you enjoy and do that, don’t worry about other people.

If Blizzard nerfs or puts a level restriction on War Scrolls.

It will be the same crap, all the mats you need to enhance your game play will be in one zone and picked up by the mulita box players in the prime herb and mining zones, leaving the regular players at the mercy of the Auction House Bullies.

It will limit your game play as you will not want to go pick herbs for war scrolls.

The chat trade talk is so full of spam, you cant read nothing, you cant ban them all and it is spam after spam.

Maybe Blizzard can make a system that lets some one list the advance key runs on the AH and release payments with a token. That would quit down the spam in trade chat.
