Give me a example. Cause from my exp you can only spend gold in AH right? Tell me some other sort of currency you can use in AH?
What would it matter? I would still be poor because l donât exploit for profit or have the gold capital to buy out the AH of materials to set prices, or buy all the high value items in the AH so when the squish happens i still had high value unsquishable items to sell for major profits.
Addons âget in the wayâ in pvp, M+, and raids. You canât be fine with addons that give an advantage in one thing but not another. Blizzard is fine with AH addons they have been around for years if Blizzard wanted to they would have bricked them ages ago.
No, itâs not fair.
People earned that gold. If everyone got reduced by a % it wouldnât be fair at all. Iâd lose about 5k gold, my wife would lose 500k, how is that fair?
The level squish (apart from the borked scaling), left everyone equal in power relatively speaking. In essence, nothing changed. So if you are trying to do a gold squish, well guess what? Nothing changes. Everyone will be as rich or as poor relative to each other as they are now. There will literally be no difference.
An example of what?
I said gold is only useful for the AH at this point. I didnât say other currencies were useful for the AH.
Faction rewards from rep vendors require currencies other than gold (such as anima in SL) for the bulk of the rewards.
you were disrespectful, dont lie
what addons that other players use would put you at a disadvantage in a solo pvp or if you find 4 people to do a KSM?
remembering that Iâm talking about GOLD only.
I donât disagree that addons in all locations can be a problem.
I agree with you. You say, for example, the mounts in the shadowlands covenants, right? as well as xmogs, items, etcâŚ
or the pvp rewards that donât need gold to be bought, right?
I am not in favor of it. They could increase the price of everything, but seeing how some people struggle to make gold, that would upset that group. The group who as a lot of gold would be upset if they went from gold cap to 500K G or whatever. The best they can do is add in gold sink stuff, like mounts, and donât remove them (looking at you long boi) that way, people can spend gold on things that wonât mess with the game and if the mounts or whatever stay there indefinitely, thereâs no FOMO.
Weakauras makes tracking cooldowns and other things way easier. Addons like gladius will give warnings when the enemy healer is drinking, it announces auras being used all things the basic UI wonât scream at you so if you are not looking for it you wont know.
I think the problem lies with the Token system. I can work for a few hours, buy a few tokens, then have a million gold. Super easy, all done in less than a shift at work. If I did the same number of hours in-game farming and earning that gold, Iâd have a much lower net profit for time spent. Itâs more efficient for me to work > buy tokens, plus if Iâm not farming in-game for gold, I can do what I really want to do in the game instead of play âsecond-jobâ. Thereâs just not enough incentive to earn gold in game and itâs killing us with gold inflation from so many people buying tokens. I think that the tokens should be worth less gold to encourage people to farm more and stop making everything in the auction house worth so little. Or I donât know⌠Iâm not an economics major.
And their suggestion of having the gold will just allow bots to have all the advantage still.
Itâs a silly suggestion and so is mine

Yes, I agree that these addons can make pvp unfair for those who donât know them, or refuse to use them.
although everyone has access and can use these addons, I agree that they could just remove them and make the player only use communication/attention in the arenasâŚ
But this has nothing to do with gold. The discussion is only about making/farming gold, where people using bots and addons are at an advantage over another range of players who donât want to use these methods.
I 100% agree. There should be more gold sink stuff, but that stuff should be actual things players want to buy. Not 333,333g ugly frogs or 500,000 mech suit robot mounts no one wants. Give us things that serve a purpose. The AH mount is a good idea. The transmog yak is a good idea. Even just creating player housing using all of those already existing little houses, apartments, and nooks throughout all the cities & world would give us a reason to spend gold on stuff, too (but thatâs a whole other discussion for another day). And maybe make the BMAH better⌠instead of just ONE person winning because they hit gold cap first, make the top 3 win and add more items on a more frequent basis?

You forgot the 2mil spider mount that those of us who HATE spiders will never get haha
But yes, meaningful, wanted gold sink things people want. And yes! Player housing would do just that! Plz Blizz!!!

You can have fair by the principle of Equality of Outcome or you can have Equality of Opportunity. The former works great if you want a socialism simulator, but you kind of need the latter if youâre actually trying to have something resembling a game.
If you want to implement âFrom Each According to His Means to Each According to His Needâ then I will leave. Period. Because not only will this game have degenerated into something Iâm no longer willing to play? But also because I pay for my sub in gold.

Yeah, the only stuff bought with gold was the faction stuff you could get from any covenant at exalted rep without having to join that covenant.
Everything else was bought with anima, renown levels, soul ash, soul cinders, research, stygia, sinstones and on and on.
SL was the reason I stepped off the gold-making train. DR continued in that direction with even more currencies: Expedition supplies, renown tokens, storm sigils, elemental overflow, etc. The only place gold really comes into play is when youâre throwing yourself on the mercy of other players at the auction house, and that wouldnât have been as big of an issue had Blizzard not gone hogwild with the crafting revamp.
They usually use Honor and Conquest PVP-specific currency.

If I remember correctly, those items that we bought with gold when we reached Exalted, they were cheap⌠there was nothing above 100k for example (if Iâm not mistaken, correct me if I forgot something here).
SL was the reason I stepped off the gold-making train
At that time I did those missions that gave an interesting amount of gold as a rewardâŚbut after doing that 50 times over several weeks (on several characters) I got tired and went to do something else.

I think everything should be like thisâŚthatâs why I liked the trading post so much.
