Professions and gold making has no advantage over anyone else at all. They are just side activities, and not competitive game-play or the end-game.
If you think people are going to bite the highest prices until someone undercuts and get the prices down, those who list the price high will be the ones losing out on more gold, and this sort of thing does take about a week or two to fully stabilize to an appropriate price. So, no, there is no advantage being taken.
I pre-purchased it as soon as it became available. Just looking for clarity from Blizzard, so I can point my friends in the correct direction instead of guessing what’s available to them.
People bought it for the early access?
Jokes aside, I am also curious about this as well. Blizz needs to drop a little info on availability of things in EA
This couldn’t be further from the truth. If gold making has no advantage, why do the RWF guilds shell out so much gold?
If it takes a week or two, and someone has 4 more days at the beginning of that week or two, then they have a pretty significant advantage on the curve.
I’m just looking for clarity from Blizzard to help inform my friends who want to come back and play WoW. We can nitpick at each other all day, but I’d simply like clarity from Blizzard.
They won’t even read what’s been posted in the thread and their reply @ me proves it because multiple people have said what’s included in early access and what’s not and some of it even shows exact dates so yeah, I think they are just trying to act like early access with professions is such a big deal when it’s gated somewhat anyway.
They have given it and you won’t accept it, I’m glad they don’t actually waste time replying to threads like this usually.
It’s shame they did it in an interview instead of just making a Blue post, something on the launcher or even on epic edition page.
Found the interview (and recap on WoWHead), it’s a weird way to have to find out about a product.
Totally agree with you, especially since some core systems have changed since the interview. Naughtymoon may be also talking about Ayukama posting the screenshot with dates about the events, which is nice, but for the 8/22 date of Early Access, they just mention “Normal Dungeons open”. Which is pretty minimal information imo.
We live in the digital age of things like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, etc. why wouldn’t they post stuff or do interviews there?
It goes to much more people than say something being posted here on the forums.
But I’m not understanding your point. None of that impacts other players. I don’t care how someone pays for their sub, get gold for the BMAH or gets carried out of laziness. It doesn’t affect everyone’s gameplay.
Launcher/Epic Edition page (Just guessing you decided to gloss over those). One goes to literally everyone, so more than social media since you have to open the launcher, and the other goes to the people that it actually matters to.
Seems pretty simple in my eyes.
However, we can agree to disagree.
Even if you work at McDonald’s you have had ample time to save up for the epic edition.
Like seriously dumb how people seem to think that this is an expensive hobby.
Don’t pick up any real hobbies.
People complain about the littlest notes like about game downtime or remix even being put on the launcher and you want something extensive posted there, really and yeah I will disagree with you when the information has been out there for months and months already.
I read someplace, maybe a private email, that early access folks will get a wristband and will be able to do 20 pieces of individual content per day. So don’t go all crazy picking flowers…
Fine… now I need new plans…
How about this: You explain what advantage you can get from making gold? Considering I can purchase a lot of gold through via the WoW Token too…
So please, explain.
Ya it’s not like 90% of gear people wear is crafted or anything. Not like top guilds have 30 internal crafters so they can pool concentration to get rank 5s. No biggie crafting is just a minigame kappa
Deleted and reposted this, because I don’t think I properly replied to your post.
Depends on the type of advantage you’re looking for.
Achievements/Accolades
You can use gold to purchase services in-game, such as Cutting Edge, KSM/KSH, or specific PvP ratings.
Collections
You can use gold to purchase transmog/mounts/pets. You can also use gold to purchase services in-game, such as the Mythic raid mount.
Financial
You can use gold to pay your subscription. You can also save money by having enough gold stockpiled to not feel obligated to buy a WoW Token.
RWF
You could use gold to purchase services in-game, such as paying for other players to assist with loot funneling and splits.
Not sure why we’re stuck on the “what can currency REALLY do for you?” argument. As I mentioned before, I don’t just care about the gold. I’d like to direct my friends somewhere to make their decision easier. If all there is to direct them to is the calendar you provided or the PC Gamer interview from 2023, then so be it. I’m just answering your retorts at this point.
Hell yeah brother! Rise up elites! Stomp on the peasants! They don’t deserve to see the throne room.
Are these people in the room with us right now?
That’s all you got, really?
