Mmm… I misunderstood what your complaint was, my apologies.
The reason it doesn’t, IMO, is because it would actually cause more of a gold inflation for everything else. More than it already has. If anything, I would like if there was more Warbound gear rewards, or something along those lines. Dungeons are for the joy of running dungeons, if they were the most profitable way to play, or = to other things, it would make for a very ridiculous economy.
You will see the same thing in FFXIV, and I assume other MMOs. The pure dungeon/PvE players will rarely have much money, it’s the Crafters and Gatherers that have millions and millions of gil. We only get like 3000 for saving the entire planet a few times. They can make 3 million in a day, easily.
He’s obviously very smart, but he’s not a great engineer. He’s a very cunning businessman, and is good at selling a narrative and vision.
Steve Jobs was also a terrible engineer, but he was a great salesman. For every Wozniak you need a Jobs to sell the vision.
Nobody complaining about Elon would have succeeded where he did if put in the same position, no matter what they tell themselves. Not that I like Elon personally, I think he’s a conman, albeit a very good one. But most good businessmen are conmen, particularly in tech, that’s the game. Sell the vision and hope you can deliver later.
I know for Dragonflight there quests that the tailor trainer would give out every week. And the reward would be an item that boosted your knowledge points. Leveling up tailoring to 100 also helps with that as well.
I just don’t know if there’s a similiar quest for professions in TWW.
I run Follower Dungeons for specific elemental dungeons, and each time I come out I add them to the AH and make almost 1200g a run. Doesn’t even count the gold I loot or the trash I sell.
Those have largely been replaced with the patron order system. There’s still the “do 2-3 crafting orders” weeklies but the ones where you have to craft a specific item to turn in are gone (although miners and herbalists still have something similar to what they had in DF, since they can’t do crafting orders)
For each person that thinks they need to buy gold via the wow token, there is someone else making enough extra gold that they can sell their gold for gametime/ bnet balance.
If you think items are expensive, you could also gather or craft those same items to sell to people at a profit.
It all comes down to whether or not someone has the motivation to do so.
I’ve been selling the PvP bloodstones for a decent chunk of cash. Which are bought with Honor… which you get for literally doing any type of PvP even non-rated.
the gold making in this game is not really fun anymore. You could hunt a very rare transmog, it easily takes weeks to find and what do you get for it, if you find a buyer? 50k if lucky…
At the same time, you can let your bot farm herbs and you gain 500k. I think this is where the OP is coming from, people bot, exploit or sell carries and make a fortune, while those that play legit are not able to unlock necessary features like the warband bank tabs.
Now add to this the broken AH, where TSM bots run the economy. Blizzard should start doing something about that, it´s not about being able to repair your gear, it´s about unlocking stuff in this game that costs gold.
Blizz can´t gatekeep content and utilities by asking for gold, that you can only have if you cheat the system.
I feel like people buy just about everything you can farm. I still get people buying old classic mats that drop from Molten Core when I do transmog runs. Hell, people still buy old TBC uncut gems. No idea why, but the do sell and it all adds up.
thats not what i was asking you my friend. i guess im trying to figure out what your objection is to boosting? you can make a lot of gold for doing very trivial things if thats your thing. for instance, level boosting or legacy content. if you know the mechanics of old raids, for instance, you can make insane gold doing that
Blizzard doesn’t have to sell WoW tokens, the real reason is that some people actually do enjoy flying around picking up rocks and flowers and selling them on the AH for a ton of gold, and Blizzard added a new progression system to that part of the game so that those people can stay engaged (because in the old system you maxed out your skill points in like a day—which still sort of happens but not with knowledge points).
The problem isn’t bots; if anything, bots are part of why things were cheaper in the past.
If that happens continuously, change your route or try another zone. You’re likely 10-15 seconds behind another person who is getting to the nodes before you.
