Since the other end-game dungeons are already dropping the upgraded loot (but with old loot tables), i dont see the issue. Part of that loot upgrade was DM.
There is ZERO point in getting HKs or honor as a lowbie. YOu will never earn enough to rank up even once. The math just isn’t there. And you cant wear any of the gear.
From what I’ve seen, mages can earn 50-60GPH in ZF already. Tribute runs I see anywhere from 50-100g per hour which would either put it on par with what mages are already doing, or double it if they’re really good at it?
It’s inevitable regardless, but people act as though we’re going from some really low potential raw gold farm to this.
Ion specifically stated in the video released today that Dire Maul was being released on October 15th.
I hit 60 today. The content outside of raids is like 6 dungeons and 3 reps (if your even right professions). The reps are so nerfed right now they arent all that good to grind (mind you that 1 of those rep grinds is 2 of the dungeons). Money is going to be faster then in vanilla because people know better then they did.
There are plenty of people at 60 already and people pugging MC and Ony, at least on my server. So it’s hardly just a handful of people who cleared MC weeks ago who are out of content.
None of the people I am playing with are 60 and we all plan on playing classic for as long as blizzard supports it. We’re just all adults now with families and Jobs.
Being lvl60 or not yet, really has nothing to do with how long you plan on playing the game for.
Most people didnt even raid until dm came out. I know i didn’t and i played day one. Having dm out a little soon isnt a big deal. Bwl is the major change.
