That is true. This should have been mentioned.
One thing that most people might not know about SoM because they didn’t play it is that people had a really hard time farming gold through the traditional methods. That is because almost all of these methods (like these) got nerfed badly. That has been of the flaws of the game in general, and the difficulty in getting gold had people both buying gold and quitting the game.
I can imagine that many people will not be happy about this here when they didn’t even know.
