Comment on Some quick maths on the wizards vault and some concerns about the IG-Economy
JJH@lemmy.wtf 9 months agoTrue. Before 1 alt was able to get ~225 Gold in mats in 3 months just by logging in, now its 75 Gold in the same time. However this same account is now able to generate 150-200 Gold (in mats), in addition to the 75 Gold, within just 2-4 hours of gameplay in 3 months, with no setup beyond a high enough level character in cheap gear. This makes alt farming one of the best possible farms in the game. Especially if you are able to use ToS complient multiboxing (which can currently be used to do pretty much all pvp dailies on multiple accounts in 10 minutes by having them in your own private Custom Arena).

I do think the PvP dailies all being doable on custom maps is bad. But idk how annoying that would be if they weren’t able to, and if that’d be bad for the game modes population.
Being able to put in some time/effort to make the same amount as before is not bad. People who play the game should be rewarded, and it’s probably mean to super harshly punish people who did spend a shit load on the game buying multiple accounts as long as they are following ToS and putting in time.
I think research notes (making shitty materials worth money) and rift hunting (making ectos worth money) are both good efforts. A little bit of inflation along with changes like those isn’t always bad.

They gave away keys for the core game a few years ago so there are a lot of ~1 Dollar accounts out there but yeah completly agree with you
