Hell no. You don't punish the people who play your game for the sake of those who don't, that is literally the dumbest thing I've heard all week.

Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.
It entirely depends on how it would be implemented. If they treat it like some upgrade on top of existing Classic servers, sure gold should tag along just like gear, mounts, profession level, consumables and collectible items.
IMO though, tBC should just start of fresh, level 1 for everyone. If blizzard wants to keep tBC separate from Classic like Classic is to retail, that would be a simple way to implement that launch.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
There is a simple solution for this, make a few new tbc realms that disallow any kind of transfer or copying for the first year. That way people who feel like they have no chance can go that route.
/facepalm sure sweetheart. That’s the issue here.

Once again, I never said once that inflation wouldn’t happen eventually. For the final time, either address my argument by showing me you actually read what I said or don’t even bother.
Edit: also please, explain to me how people are going to make ‘tens of thousands’ of gold in tbc at a quicker pace. I would love to hear it.

Just from daillies you can earn a lot every day. Trashmobs drop more silver per kill, netherweave will be in such an abundance that you can craft bandages for a profit just like silk cloth but with higher values.
Everyone will be able to earn 150g-500g gold an hour with a little bit of effort. Classic doesn't really have that kind of gold injection per player per day. If you think a fresh slate will do anything to curb long term inflation even in relation to 2 years of classic you are kind off delusional to be honest :x
It would just mean the cut will be higher, effectively causing the economy to correct itself.

The reason why the AH and farmers were so rampant in classic is because of botting and multiboxing programs which have since been banned. No botting or multiboxing programs means less stuff on the AH to drive prices out of whack and a "better" economy can exist.
Why and for what would people in classic be saving for in BC right now? As it stands, there hasn't even been talks from Blizzard about having a BC-classic server so what exactly would people right now be saving for in BC?
Is it a fresh server(with optional transfers)? Then yes. Of course it should be wiped. What you did on a classic server, should stay on a classic server. If the goal is to just extend certain servers into TBC, then no, you don’t wipe or cap gold for existing or transferred characters.
Quite honestly, I wouldn’t even allow transfers and just roll out fresh servers for TBC.
It would probably be better for the economy if all the botting/multiboxing gold was taken out of the game so in that sense there is absolutely an argument in favor of doing so.
But I think the thread bypasses a much more important question. Because we still don't even know the means by which blizzard is intending to have us experience classic TBC.
With that I mean if we can even copy/advance anything at all, if servers are going to be completely fresh, or anything of the sorts.
I think that is a much more important question.
There should be an account wide cap. I don't think it's fair to not allow people to take over gold, but it's also going to probably ruin the economy if there's no cap at all.
on the one hand im like, if you want to emulate the experience from 15 years ago, you should limit gold/stuff you can carry over, since people no doubt have farmed up more than they would ever need by now.
on the other hand im like, would it even matter? classic was nothing like vanilla. people know all the farming tricks, would it even delay anything by more than a few days?
i think they will limit it though, at the end of the day they will care more about new/returning players than the consistent players that's just the way of things.
We'd lose some people, sure, but you underestimate peoples...uh...lust for BC, in general.
I'd honestly prefer a re-roll both for the economy reset, which I think is a good idea, but also because all the alternatives have problems.
I wish Bliz could get an accurate count of people who care about keeping a copy of their current characters on classic only servers, though. Cause if this would involve alot of dev time, and only a tiny % of players care about it, I hope they don't bother.
If they decide to not right the ship after classic, ya you're right, it won't matter.
I'm hoping they are willing to actually do some work for a better BC though, like progressive itemization, and maybe possibly buffing raids so they aren't brain-dead steam rolls like classic raids have been.

I'd be ok with 1 or 2 premade 58's if they decide to do fresh servers, but unlimited 58's would break the economy because of transmutes.
a connection is what would be the most authentic experience,keep classic as is,and give people the option for free transfers

I get that you would be ok,i wouldnt rly care either way,but they wont do it,they wont give free character boosts in classic/tbc,the transfer option is the simplest and most authentic recreation implementation there is
They wouldn't of asked about it in that survey if they weren't at least considering it though.

Not really. From a big picture standpoint, an economy reset is a good thing for most people, because currently a minority of players hold most of the wealth.
But yes, sometimes individuals arguing for it may just be doing so for themselves, I won't deny that.
Seriously, this... I didn't do anything special, I didn't play the AH or abuse the economy, I've got all my gold just from making 1 refined deeprock salt every 3 days, anyone not sitting on at least a few hundred has no one to blame but themselves, it's piss easy to make gold in classic. Refine deeprock salt, transmute arcanite, make mooncloth, all of these things cost almost nothing to do compared to what they sell for, deeprock salt for example costs a few SILVER, and the end result of refining it sells for 35g because of the 3 day cooldown.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
