At this point, all I'm doing is inflating my account value to any potential buyers. Challenge mode sets, other unobtainable items, etc.

With nearly 3 mil gold, I only spend money on Expansions. I'm not terribly excited for legion, but I do welcome the new animation system. It looks like things have much more of an impact and *gasp* actually have sound effects for hitting your targets.

>>320696816
if you had an epic mount you were rich, grinding a fuckton or hit rank 12 which gave you the pvp mount + epic riding

it was a struggle just to save up enough for the mount at 40, because back then you had to also buy your skills + new ranks unless you were a pally or lock, which then you had a quest and i believe pallys just got it for free until they added a quest way later

11, but it was not until a good 6 months or so into this expansion that I actually got them all up to that point.

The setup is long, level 3 garrisons for all, the right buildings, treasure hunter followers each week from the Inn, but the results can't be argued with. Pic related. This is less than a full week.

This is 6 months of WoD on 11 characters. I even took a pretty long 2 month break in between this, and went casual (garrison mission table only) after 2 months of doing all garrison and profession stuff. Expansion to date its probably been over 25 million gold.

>>320696206
It's not free if you wasted your time on it.
>>
>>320698485
I'd say 3 just by going off what I have on one character.

You can sustain a sub through just running all of the cata raids + a full gold garrison on one character too while you set things up.
>>
>>320698485
Depends on if you're going to auto pilot garrisons or not. A single 100 can farm up the money for a Token by doing their garrisons and farming Heroic 25m raids. Specifically the Cata raids can net 7-10k a week

Because MMOs are a shit genre. It's just paying a monthly fee to have access to an IRC channel with shitty gameplay tacked on.

>>320698967
Yes. You can sustain a sub through just doing all of the 25 man heroic Cata raids atm on a single character in the US. In Legion, every class will be able to do it in quest gear. You get 8k+ a week on each character you do it on.
>>
>>320698842
That's easy enough, thanks
>>
>>320698716
What >>320698842 said. Salvage yard, then Inn. The rest does not matter, however you *should* get a trading post. Once you have enough Treasure hunters, start getting the followers that get a boost to garrison resource missions. Then trade all your garrison resources in to the trading post and buy Draneic Dust when its 4 garrison resources (female goblin vendor). Sell it on the AH for 2.50~2.00 g per and you'll make quite a bit.

I have never played WoW, but I really want to.

It's the only MMO with ACTUAL paladins and Mages. Every other game (StarForge, ESO, Guild Wars 2) puts their own spins on their classes. I don't like that. Give me a Warrior that can duel-wield two handed weapons. Give me a mage that can open portals, shot fire, and use magic missile. Give me an actual fucking healer.

My problem is that I would

>Have to buy the box

Ok. Cool. It's a game. Gotta buy it. Big fucking deal.

>Buy a subscription

Hell no. I'm in college. I have loans to pay off. I eventually want to move out of my grandparents house. I'm not going to pay for a sub fee ON TOP of paying for my internet connection.

>There's a cash shop

Oh now you're just fucking with me
>>
>>320696734

I'd play retail if I could figure out how to pay it without having to pay for the month to pay the ingame fee.
>>
>>320698485
Depends. If you take a month or so to grind followers or retraining scrolls to get everyone with Treasure Hunter, 3 is the minimum it takes to get around 40k gold by the end of the month. If you farm raids, 2. If you grind mats and make the upgrades/level and sell pets/farm epics and sell them for transmog, you really only need one, as others will make the effort greater than the reward, ultimately.

I'm not determined.

I have classes. I have work. I have a girlfriend.

I want to enjoy my hobby and play some games. I don't want to feel like I have to farm gold at all. I don't want to start stressing over the fact that I've only played a little bit this week and now there's no way I'm going to make enough gold to pay for the sub fee.

On top of that, I play games with my girlfriend, and she would want to play with me. I don't want to have to tell her "Well, come on. Let's go do this raid with 40 other guys even though you don't find it fun" just because she needs enough gold to pay the sub fee.

If a game allows people to NOT pay a sub fee, then they SHOULD NOT have to pay a sub fee.

The obviously don't need the sub fee money or they wouldn't have implemented this system.
>>
>>320699726
this system nets them 5 dollars more a month per person buying a token than it would if they just paid.

Also raiding is really not the way to make money to pay for your month
>>
>>320699726
>The obviously don't need the sub fee money or they wouldn't have implemented this system.

Every gold brought sub was originally paid for in cash by someone else. Blizzard actually make more money on a WoW token than a normal sub.

Wait, for 36k gold you can play for a month?

I stopped playing back in Wrath, but 1k per hour was easy enough to earn, and 500g per hour was VERY doable. You could farm for 60h per week and get the 36k gold, easy.

I don't know if it's still like that. How much gold can you farm in an hour now? Still 1000g? More? less?

Which is overshadowed by the amount of no-lifes farming gold for tokens.

But just think of how much more they would make if they just required a sub fee.

See ops image? When you log into your account( you can log in without an active sub) your characers will be "inactive", if you click enter itll bring that prompt up and you can buy a WoW token from the char select screen. You dont need a sub to buy an in game token

I don't think you understand how the system works, the people farming gold for sub tokens are buying subs from someone who paid $20 for a token from Blizzard. Gold subs don't just magic up a sub from nowhere, every one of them was originally brought for cash.
>>
>>320700445
But BoEs during WRATH were fucking 2k-20k gold. Especially that broken hilt, that thing was mad expensive. I saw a Jaina's Locket going for 100k once.

Unless you count the Jaina's locket or the Haunted Memento, the most expensive thing I've seen was about 140k for some 2h weapon thing. Wasn't my class so I looked past it. Most expensive thing for my class was a 23kg staff, that I didn't buy. I just bribed a guild 10kg to carry me through ICC for loot drops, it was good. They didn't kill LK with me, but we did kill Sindri. They had me KiT Rotface's slimes, was good times.

Yeah Haunted Memento and Jaina's Locket still sell, but that's not entirely gear if you will, ya know?

The most expensive thing I've seen period was those Rhinestone Glasses on Moon Guard which were like 300k or so. But MG's prices are fucked beyond belief, even if you want to fuck with all the weirdos in Goldshire.

Milk those gold garrison missions, run old raids, farm rare pets to sell, farm auction house parts to sell.

Garrison missions add up when you have 1 of every class at 100 with max followers and shit.

>>320699131
>>320699726
>>320700441


I just tried the game out. (First 20 levels are free)

It's... not as good as I thought it was.

Characters are great, setting is fantastic, classes are cool...

But, that's it.

Combat doesn't feel like a game. It feels like a chore. It feels like I'm just pressing buttons and then watching my actions play out on the screen. It's like I don't really have control of my character. I'm just influencing his actions.

I made a worgen. There were some pretty fun quests. The two horse rides were pretty cool, but what really stood out was that quest where you get to use the cannon to blast 10s of mobs at once. Seeing all of the numbers fly up was fun as hell.

Then... nothing. That short little burst of fun was then drowned out by Kill quest #17.

I'm honestly really disappointed.

Grinding epic mount wasn't that bad. Only healers and warrior tanks had it bad because healers cant grind shit and needed to respec and warrior tanks were always out of money because of repair costs.

If you were a dps class, especially a hunter or a rogue, getting that 1000g was piss easy.

>The Elder Scrolls Online

Really action-oriented. They put it on consoles. That pretty much means it has enough action in the combat system to go along with CoD kids.

>Guild Wars 2
Combat isn't anywhere near as simple as WoW's. Dodging, like five leap skills, and AoE out the ass pretty much classifies this is an action MMO when you're comparing it to WoW.

>FireFall
FPS. I don't even have to argue this one.

>WildStar
Pretty much the same as Guild Wars 2.

>Elite Dangerous
It's an MMO in my opinion. It's also nothing like WoW.

People that play WoW either play it because they just enjoy simple games where they don't really have to focus on the action going on. (Yes, even being a tank is super fucking easy. Don't tell me it isn't) or they have been playing for a really long time and have friends/fell in love with the world or lore.

A lot of people don't like how the game plays, and forcing yourself to like it isn't going to make that any better.

You just don't like the game. It's not the type of game you normally enjoy.

That's ok. Honestly, you probably have better taste than a lot of people in this thread.

Problem with GW2 is that they didn't use combat well. All the elements are there but it took them until this expansion and addition of raids to actually make combat challenging and non-zerg, beyond some high level fractals.

Who cares anymore?

They completely ruined and raped the game since Cataclysm. They've added tons of cool stuff too, but the damage has been done and is irreversible, the game is no longer fun nor a challenging adventure, it's just a quest grind and queue-waiting experience which has been watered down and allowed literally anyone to complete the hardest raids. Flying mounts also completely destroyed the whole exploration aspect and "giant world" feeling. All the classes have become the same, armour and weapon design is forgettable and then there's the cash shop too. At max level all you do is sit in the capital and wait for a system to queue you.

I'm fucking done with this game. It's ruined and there's no turning back.
