The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Do you realize that Legion gold missions started out pretty small in amount in 7.0, but grew to be the gold mines they were by 7.3?
Same for follower equipment, and the amount of order resources being gotten from WQs with each 7.X patch.
Yeah at the beginning it won't be much, but I don't doubt they'll have higher amounts by the time we get to 8.2-8.3.
And pretty sure they may do a companion app for BFA once it's actually released. Since the companion apps entire purpose was for the Mission tables and it saw huge success in that.
Of course I remember, Argus patch made gold mission more lucrative, but it was much better than current BfA setup from the start. Blizzard obviously wants to curb that crazy gold making machine Class Halls/Garrisons became.
As for companion app - they already said they don't have plans to remake it for BfA. It was mentioned in some Blizzcon interview AFAIR.
Orderhall: ..... i dont feel so good.

My in-flight gold missions completed just fine, but gave Order Resources instead. This was via the app, post-update.

Also, as it stands right now, Resource missions provide a net profit in terms of Resources if you 200% them (and in many cases, even if you don't). So it looks like running missions for Rep tokens should be self-sustaining.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Plus with a proper setup you should be able to 200% a 2 follower Argus mission without using Argus troops. At worst it costs a Meatball orb to cap.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
Can I ask, I didn't really bother with order halls this expansion at all as I couldn't be bothered starting them on my alts, but how do you obtain enough order hall resources to keep the gold flowing? I stopped doing world quests after I got the legendaries I needed in Nighthold and only really did a few in Argus when that was released. Did you have to do world quests on each alt?
Quest autocomplete perk - RIP that one...
Professions WQ "hand me 1 enchant for 10 bloods" etc.
Blood missions before the nerf and after the nerf with druid's follower Broll (I think I had around 10k bloods stockpiled by the time nerf hit, and I wasn't using them for anything except crafting prolonged power pots otherwise).
The basis of self sustaining missions is the Blood > OR conversion from the blood vendor.
Druids were completely self sufficient because they have a companion that reduces mission cost. meaning even the nerfed Blood missions gained you resources.
Several other classes (DK,DH,Mage,Warrior,Lock,Pala) can complete a free WQ every day. Use that on Blood WQ's. Turn these bloods in for OR to spend on gold missions.
I was running 1 of each class. Druid sustained itself. The others were all sustained by the daily free WQ. 6 WQ's a day was enough to sustain 11 characters running gold missions twice a day.
Never had to actually go and do something in the world aside from turning Blood into OR at the vendor.

Yeah, I made around 12 million gold throughout the expansion, and I wasn't at all hardcore about it, I only refreshed missions twice per day. Add that to the 5 million I made in WoD and I'm set for awhile.
I hope BFA gold missions have diminishing returns so there's no reason to do them on more than one character.
