Why Did it Just Cost 2.2k to Repair My Gear?

Maybe they are attempting deflation (doubt it, but one can hope).

Becoz I am Casual. I recently got KSM all through PuGing. Did I ever cry of Repair bills? Learn2play.

You didnt have repair bills. Absolute idiot. KSM 4 months into the season does not give you the right to speak especially when the people youre talking to got it week 1 or 2.

Mind you i play casually too.

To keep people buying tokens – why else?

Thats not the point. The point is why Crybabies cry on repairbill when Gold is raining.

Man plays the game to farm gold instead of getting a job.

OP and their ilk when all the gold sinks are removed:

“OMG gold is meaningless! Inflation is rampant! Blizzard this is dumb!!”

2k 5/8N. Incredible.

What does my 2K IO have to do with your inability to grasp economics?

The fact that there is no inability to grasp economics and youre making stuff up despite having no idea of the situation.

So you don’t know what a gold sink is. Got it, moving on then.

repair costs are through the roof. I thought 500 gold last expansion was insane and I’m actually making slightly less gold then I did last expansion while having greatly increased repair bills. As a progressive raider this is hurting my wallet, and my guilds wallet greatly. Repair bills inflation needs to be backtracked heavily. Maybe starting with next tier. Full repair should not cost 2k, shouldn’t cost 1k. Maybe cap it at 200 gold or so.

I’ve tragically been in other MMOs when that happened. Replace gold with “credits” or whatever the local shineys are and that is pretty much word perfect.

Bigger Ilevel, bigger numbers.

But you will not pay anywhere near as much if you don’t die as much.

I know when I was just playing woefully bad and kept dying I was paying a LOT more in repairs. But not as much right now, even though my Ilevel is higher.

Because someone is dumb enough to tell you that you “need” gold sinks because of “inflation”.

Sadly these people have little to no understand of economics and keep spreading the wrong information. Inflation is the monetary expansion, that is, when the monetary authority prints money. WoW doesn’t have monetary authority and thus there is no one printing money. Our gold drops naturally from mobs / chests or quests, and there is no measure of it.

Services provided by NPCs have increased drastically from DF (transmogs, repair) while the gold rewards / gold dropped from monsters/rewarded from quests hasn’t increased to compensate it.

If you have a repair mount you should get discounts from them relative to their purchase price. Mammoth - 10% Yak/Grizzly - 20% Bruto - 40%

Gold WQs still work with alts. Ran 10 alts through the available ones this weekend and cleared nearly 85k. Did them while doing the weeklies. Although the treasures still are worth picking due to the mats, but you’ll make more per hour just running the quests. :see_no_evil::speak_no_evil::hear_no_evil:
