Why won’t blues say what the conversion will be? Assuming it’s the same as the PTR is… ineffective. It might be right, but it might be wrong.

Think they meant the drop rates and costs.
Which is a flat 10% on the PTR, so aside from looking smaller, really has no actual change in how long it’ll take players to gather and spend it – in other words, their “sensible values” change is completely futile.
That’s because their claim that new players were scared off by “big numbers” like 120 was accepted by so many players so easily as a critical reason a level squish needed to be implemented. So they’re trying the “numbers are hard” rationale again.

So, why wouldn’t we buy residuum items before server reset and sell them back, or break them down in 8.3?

That won’t work, they already stated.

You should do residuum conversion when actual new season starts, not before it…
And let players spend theirs earned residuum from week before the patch…
Also conversion rate is a joke…
For 400k residuum you only get like 4k gold, really Blizzard? It should be at least 40k gold…

Haven’t read all the replies. What happens next Tuesday in our cache? Gold just pops out for the residum and is it same Ilvl gear or different stuff? (+10)

I’m sure I remember back in the early days when I started playing - Wrath for example - the only time gear-related currency was downgraded to gold was at the end of the expansion.
Why is it necessary to invalidate a currency that is still in use during the current expansion?
Typical current WoW developer thinking.
If you were there for Season 3 start, it required them to massively inflate the cost of items and massively inflate residuum gains for Season 3 because they needed a way for people not to be able to buy 445s on day 1 from Season 2 leftovers.
So now instead they are simply resetting residuum for everyone. Just like Honor/Conquest used to be refunded and reset every PvP season.
Yes, I see that, I guess the problem for me is that I’m a fairly casual player and I never managed to get enough residuum to buy anything worthwhile. I guess personally I just have to look upon it as an irrelevant currency and forget about it.
I wish we got the options to buy az pieces for alts. Even if just 420 az pieces. I would prefer that over some silly silver that is worthless.

I recently came back to the game and have no idea what residuum is even for. This whole expansion is somewhat hard to follow on a gameplay front for returning players! =c

Question -
I have 38k TR, Next week I would be able to buy a 445 Azerite piece.
I’m assuming I won’t be able to buy that piece of gear. Should I buy 9k pieces and break them down? I’m not interested in the silver.
Break them down for what ? The few cloth mats ?
I assume you will be telling people ingame about this? Almost no one use the forums.

Of course they won’t. They never do. They depend on third party fan sites and these forums for all of this. One of the main reasons new customers get befuddled by the game. I am constantly explaining to coworkers and friends of what is going on with WoW and I avoid these forums like the plague. I found out on Icy Veins about 10 minutes ago.
The oversight of calculating how long it takes the average player to obtain gear with vapor currencies is 100% determined by: “How can we manipulate customers into logging on the most without them knowing our true intentions?”
TY Kaivax for clarifying this.
