"Primals will average 300g each if gold wipe won't happen"

[Dartz1979]

Flying is so pricey you have to hcarge alot for items.

[Ielenia]

MMO-Champion promised me...

I found the problem, here.

[Kithelle]

Everybody always bitches about bots, but they're really good for the average player that doesn't have a lot of gold

But it's not fair things are affordable and they cant make tons of gold gouging people!

[Assumi]

Mights are selling for 500g on Pagle right now, would be an amazing time to get a 5 proc on Transmute master.

[trapmaster]

Even streamers i watched in couple days ago actually bought their golds on their boosted characters. I was like "Huh, what the fucking point to play then?" Of course tryhards gone fully retarded

[Selvari7]

A lot. People are crafting their 70 gear right now.

With how easy the game is why even craft gear and not just use dungeon heroic drops.

Because there's a good amount of crafted gear that is bis till bt/sunwell

What happened is, as per usual, the forums caused a skewed perception of reality. Most Classic players aren't walking around with more money in their bags than the GDP of Finland, but many who are consolidated here and on the Classic WoW subreddit, unintentionally building an echo chamber of people with a ton of gold who convinced themselves everyone has a ton of gold (this isn't as uncommon as you'd think; it's also pretty normal for wealthy people in insular communities to disconnect from what level of wealth your average Joe on the street has versus what they and everyone in their social circle have).

It's interesting how this same discussion rounds the bend so many times over the years and people still won't pick up on the obvious answer, that the AH barons on your server aren't indicative of the average player's funds even if things still manage to sell on the AH at their hyperinflated prices.

Bookmarking this thread to revisit it in two months. :^)

1 week left for your revisit and prices have dropped, not looking good.

[Nak88]

Those idiots are hiding in a cave. Another prophecy exposed.

[Nalam the Venom]

I miss the 100g+ for each spellcloth..

it is down to below 50 now .

[Video Games]

I still think things are too expensive though. Vengeance wrap being a grand is mega dumb when the mag cloak has only 5 less stats after you factor in the socket

[Warrax]

MMO-Champion promised me an easy epic flying for all my alts due to hyperinflated primal prices because everyone will have zillions of gold. My primals sell for 4g-40g each. What happened?

A lot of people are poor right now due to TBC, it was a huge gold sink for a lot of people,

[anon5123]

I miss the 100g+ for each spellcloth.

And I miss primal mights selling for 150g+, now they're down to 90g.

[varren]

The gold buying crowd who ran GDKPs on 10 toons a week was a tiny tiny fraction of the player base. The vast majority of people probably came in to TBC with a few thousand gold tops, which they then spent on normal flying + epic flying when they hit 70.

well, epic flying is working as an early gold sink to curb inflation but you only need an epic flyer once. So, presumably, we'll see the effects of 35 paladins in strat 24/7 a bit later than 2 months in.

[Jazzhands]

All the gold is unsubscribed until T5.

[Bigbazz]

Primal prices thankfully dropped due to dynamic spawns allowing the supply to outweigh the demand, but Gem prices are 3-5x what they were in the original TBC.

[Asrialol]

Implying people bother to actually unsub for a few months.

Could be because a lot of people are other professions now for crafted gear / enchants / engineering, I suppose? And back in the day a lot of people went JC because it was new.

I mean, it was partially a joke but there's a thread talking about guilds losing member's left and right. And even if they aren't actually unsubscribed, if they aren't actively playing them their gold may as well be considered out of the economy until they're back.

Also what a literal waste of money to not unsubscribe if you aren't playing, doesn't matter how much you make that's just dumb.
