    2M is nothing as of today and if you don't believe me I could give you some tips on how we make that kind of money off the AH.

    I super casually farmed the AH for 50k a week and that was basically just flipping mats, greens, and items I knew were popular transmogs.

    I stopped out of sheer laziness (and because I bought everything I wanted at the time, though I need to start it back up for the Yak because I want it now for some reason).

    That's super casual. I didn't bother D/Eing greens and flipping undervalued greens for DE mats, I didn't flip raw mats into crafted good when possible, I even rarely bought out entire markets (Sorry anyone powerleveling blacksmithing on stormrage back in november). Just very casually with a couple of TSM groups did 50k a week.

    If you're balking at 2m gold, you're just being lazy. I at least have the decency to admit that I'm lazy.

    Cool I could buy the mount too, but I'm not dropping 1/2 my gold on a spider.

    Like I can afford it, I'm just not going to spend ~1/2 my gold on a spider.

    Is this one of those things were people assume they know how much gold everyone is carrying and what an 'average' gold total should be or is? I don't htink the person with 1.55M is on the low end of gold totals right now. Sure there are people with 5+mil out there but there are going to be plenty of people with low gold totals.

    Also, consider this. People will be coming back to the game that didn't enjoy the glut of gold earning in this expansion. Not everyone was garrison whoring it up or selling CM runs or Mythic raid mounts/gear. So I would like Blizz to consider those types of people as well when putting things like that in the game.

    The only gold to money conversion that people will see is how much gold they'd make selling a Blizz token. If they'd have to spend hundreds of dollars or more to just buy a mount then that is a BIT crazy.

    50k a week would take 40 weeks just for one mount ... that isn't exactly efficient.


    The vast majority of players don't have 2 mil or more specifically not a disposible 2 mil.

    Sure 2M may be nothing for you and some of the players but not everyone in the game is garrison whoring or making shitloads of gold every day. Put it into perspective a bit. Just because you and a lot of people you know have a lot of gold does not mean that is the norm.

    Considering the sheer amount of people that have been dropping 2mil+ on Mythic Archimonde Mount carries, compared to Gladiator there are a lot more Cashed up people.

    The yak is 100k and plenty of people have those. I know as a guild I bought each raid leader one, in part as a reward for herding cats and to make sure the raid could reforge without having to go back to town. Now if there wasn't any additional function for the yak I wouldn't have one and I wouldn't have bought any for other people. So this spider only being a spider isn't enough.

    That doesn't mean that these Items can't be exclusive to them then.

    Want the item, put work into making the gold.

    50k a week for 5 minutes of effort a day (it'd take me less now since I could use a mage to AH mule) seems pretty damn reasonable to take 40 weeks. That's 280x5=1400mins/60=~24 hours.

    24 hours over the course of 40 weeks. Yeah, that seems incredibly reasonable.

    Edit: I'm saying 2m is reasonable for a guy who's never had more than 75k gold at once because I know it's my own fault/lack of effort/lack of interest that I don't have more.

    You could buy 20 yaks with the (clearly placeholder) price of the spider, FYI. You can't really compare.

    PS: Yak actually has a function (transmog/repair/vendor). Spider doesn't and costs 20x more, and it's likely to eventually be a recolor of an easier-to-get version.
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    don't need to assume on tarren mill server is packed with mega rich players

    I just look at it from a returning player or newer player perspective. The only cash to gold conversion that is legal is Blizz tokens. And it would take how much cash to buy one of those items? Waaay too much. That is where I feel the prices are missing the mark. Also, it is widely believed that gold will not be as easy to come by as it is in this expansion. So those things might even be harder to come by after the BMAH and that vendor start draining some people.

    I personally could afford all of the items so I'm not arguing for myself being unable to buy something, I'm looking at it from how I'd see it if I was a returning player or looking at how crap the blizz token is vs the amount of gold it would generate.

    And I'm sure Illidan US shits on that server in gold. Some servers have plenty of rich people and many of them do not.

    I don't care about either of those players. These things will be available to players who constantly play. I don't really care if people can't afford things if they are new. they can save up and get it next expansion.

    Oh I agree that the 2 million tag is absurd. I was going more off of the 200k comment. Even with that as both of us have stated the yak had function. A function that was unique to it and a few spots in certain towns. You could repair and buy some mats, vendor junk. If that wasn't enough 2 ppl could jump on and ride along. The multi seat mounts are how many people had to get their first world boss kills in Timeless Isles.
