Either that, or with the new tier and easy catchup to 685 gear... They figured it was going to be too easy for people to get gold from what will be outdated content?

[Alfakennyone]

I never did mythic raiding but I guess those who did get to get the gold from it a few more times.

[rasako]

I'm sure its to nerf gold gain since many players are now playing the game basically free due to the token. Can't have people getting gold anymore ya know!

Because it's fun to send your followers on missions, right?

[Jimson]

It's essentially the garrison equivalent of "Ahead of the Curve." Not sure why this is "removing fun."

The new naval HFC mission will propably have the gold reward attached to it.

Makes sense to remove that gold reward from obsolete content missions.

Hopefully no too dramatic gold nerfs on remaining missions. I'm only getting 3-4k highmaul mission once per 2 weeks which isn't even 5% of my garrison gold gain.

Tier 17 itself will likely receive a blanket % nerf once HFC comes out. Throne of Thunder had 20% nerf attached to it once SOO came out - I acquired the Raden Undying achievement with ease (in a pug too!) in November, 2 months after SOO launch. It would become pretty trivial to kill a few easy mythic bosses there to secure yourself huge gold reward for many months to come.

Where? What did I miss?

This makes no sense. Blizzard makes $5 more per monthly game time when people pay with gold. Why wouldn't they want people to do that?

The Baleful gear (640, BOA) from naval missions is upgraded with a (http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=128225/e...pexis-fragment) that boosts it to 685. Seems very similar to the TI-style upgrades.

Because anticipating and getting a substantive reward is fun. Getting 1000g every week is substantially more entertaining than getting 100 2-3 times every day.

I agree. The new T18 raid mission will probably have it.

Not that it should, the amount of free money from garrisons is insane.

haha in you re have face mythic raider s long live raid finder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

Don't blame them at all.
Was getting SOOOO much money from this it was unreal. Made more money just from garrison missions than I have from all the years of working the AH and grinding.

[Schizoide]

You still will. The T17 raid missions were worth maximum 8k gold every 2 weeks.

Each L100 alt with L3 inn/salvage and a bunch of treasure hunters will make >14k gold every 2 weeks. Each alt.

And of course the T18 mythic raid mission will probably reward 1k too, so that's 4k of it back.

[Count Zero]

Oh well ... realistically would have been too much free gold flowing.

[Danifilth]

guess because of wow tokens hmmm?

[Schizoide]

guess because of wow tokens hmmm?

No, because tokens just move gold around. Blizzard doesn't care how much gold they sell for, they just want tokens to sell, because they make an extra five bucks on that month's subscription.

If it's not, why did they put it in the game? I think it's supposed to be fun.

Legit gold moved around or stolen gold moved around?
