It's poor design, and a bad long term strategy.<br /><br />As for the silly prices, I believe that the gold influx is at least partially meant to combat the gold sellers. If it's easy to get gold from Blizzard, it can put the gold sellers out of business, or so goes the hope. Of course it's just an arms race, and it distorts the economy, and as the economy warps, the gold sellers just catch up, starting a new cycle of increased economic warfare. This is very detrimental to the lower level players... but it seems Blizzard isn't all that interested in them in the first place these days.Teshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760350503235227686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569881459810633102.post-26371342600527363772009-05-04T19:24:00.000-04:002009-05-04T19:24:00.000-04:00True, instance gear is way better...only one probl...True, instance gear is way better...only one problem. No one is doing old world instances, because leveling is soo much easier, people spend all their time twinking toons out then blasting through content just to get to 80. It was proposed to me by a friend that I should just give up looking for gear in the AH because by the time I hit outlands, I will be replacing all of it and that money I spend will just be wasted.<br /><br />But my thing is I want to experience the entire game, not blast through content, which was the subject of a recent post about how Blizzard is killing their own game with easier instances, more xp for quests and the whole R.A.F program, which basically begs people to open up multiple accounts so they can dual box their way through content. Sorry, this is a sore subject for me.Oakstouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338018420187011141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569881459810633102.post-3889090972925713372009-05-04T18:31:00.000-04:002009-05-04T18:31:00.000-04:00It's fun to find the gear in instances, buying it ...It's fun to find the gear in instances, buying it is never worth the money.Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470259020714818820noreply@blogger.com
