So I was wondering do you think they will make Garrisons server/account bound when you consider that if someone had 11 characters on a server all with garrisons farming ore that you would be making massive amounts of gold.
Currently with farms you can make 1.6 spirit of harmony per character which is 11 per week if you had 11 characters that is 121 spirits in 1 week. each spirit of harmony is 2 golden lotus that is 242 Golden lotus per week. 1 golden lotus + 4 pandaria herb is 1 flask which means you are making 242 flasks + procs on my server flasks are going for 49G 99S that has me making around 12k gold per week.
Now if we were to compare to the information we got on garrisons from blizzcon (I will link to the photos I am looking at)
A level 1 Mine, with what we know as he current maximum amount of followers, would net you 4 Ore/Hour.
That is 96 Ore per day.
That's 672 Ore per week.
If you have 11 Garrisons, that's 7,392 Ore per week.
and that would be the minimum at a level 1 mine and even if blizzard decided that is way to much and decided to shift those numbers down to 1 ore per hour that is still 3,696 per week. Now if we were to assume each building could have 4 followers in a cap level mine 4 followers, at 2/hr, would net 14,784 Ore per week.
These are links to the pictures I am basing this off:
