there is a problem.
when I wanted to buy the spider that costs 2m, I couldnât farm 2m without feeling like I was in a job.
people told me to understand AH, but itâs not that simple and I didnât want to put effort into something I normally do (Iâm a programmer in real life), so I thought it was silly to have to learn so many tools, which I could, but it would take too long and in the end, it would take away the purpose of the game to be FUN.
I wasnât having fun when I tried to farm skins because there were dozens of bots together.
I didnât have fun trying to farm herbs for the same reason, there were always 10 druids flying together in front of me.
I didnât have fun miningâŠfor the same reasonâŠ
And when I stopped and took a look at what was happening, I found myself thinking about ways to farm skins, herbs or ores, or even how to deal with AHâŠand not having fun doing it.
Some other people told me that I could farm GOLD by simply being a raid/m+carry.
And I like doing raids/duns (not in this exp), but I just donât want to make it A JOB!
In the end, I prefer pvp. And they told me to be a pvp carry thenâŠbut Iâm bad at pvp and I play for fun.
Whatâs left for me, a casual player?
Thereâs nothing left.
I still donât have the 2m spider.
I canât find ways to farm by myself in a LOW and acceptable time without looking like a job, where I have to repeat the same task every day for months to get 2M.
I canât see any way to get to 2M, or 5M, or 10M just by doing nice things.
Focusing on AH with various tools for hours, competing with BOTs and doing the same task for months, for hours and hours a day, or having to carry people through dungeons in perfect times or being a PVP nerd, is not for me.
My thoughts on equipment and mounts:
Equipment should all be crafted, at a low ilvl, to provide a fair way to get the XMOG.
Mounts should be dropable, even with a low chance, so people could try to take it by their own efforts, without having to compete with other players unfairly.
Example > it took me years to get the invincible - but i got it.
> I still havenât managed to gather 5M (due to the reasons mentioned before) to catch the long neck dinosaur and I donât think I can do that anymore.
The appearance of pvp ELITE gear is obtainable in 1800 ratting. I think itâs unfair for old gear to be locked, as older raids are accessible in mythic mode.
Finally, Mythic Mode raid gear is accessible in the next expansion, giving a player the opportunity to simply wait to go after something they found cool or beautiful, without unfair competition.
So, apart from this pvp problem, which I would solve with a token, like pvp mounts, or with some kind of quest, all raid xmogs can be obtained even after the expansion ends.
What many players today do in wow? go to old raids, old dungeons, old quests, to get some armor or weapon appearance.
So, for me : XMOG > gold.
Remove gold from the equation, put mounts to drop even with some difficulty, put all xmogs in the game to be collected via profession with a fair number of materials that donât take the personâs personal life - or to be dropped from raids / dungeons / quests / tokens (like pvp mount)âŠsolve the problem.
