Please don't listen to this Knifewrench troll with no empiric evidence and no experience. It is NOT fine and this guy is talking about pre nerf droprates and only about 40 runs. Brain on? How is that even helping the discussion?

Even with Herbalism: You maybe get 20 - 30 Dreamfoil in 5 Runs but NO other herbs. You can't do anything with that. WITH herbalism and taking the nodes you maybe get 4 Mountain Silversage which amounts to 4 Elixir of the Mongoose PER HOUR OF FARMING. It is insane low and literally killed the main source of herbs on the whole server

This is dead. Rip to every non-hunter which required lasher farm for money. We are going back to making some classes viable for farming and many not viable. We are left with skill-requiring hunter farms right now which only gets emphasized with ZG release.

So, situation: we have Dads in their 40s not being able to brainlessly farm lashers for raidconsumes as the prices get high and you can't do it on your own anymore? Hope your RMT detection is improved.

Maybe in ur whole rant state its about a change thats a day or less old, and pritty sure u didnt do 2k runs since. 24x5 isnt even above 200

I am trying to reach the devs, who know how heavy the rates are nerfed. I'd also like to have this discussion with somebody who knows what they are talking about - you're evidently a bit confused on when to partake in a discussion and when not. Feel free to try it out yourself and come back.

I think many people have been doing lashers since the patch and I am hoping more people add to this and we can discuss lowering the nerf a good bit. So far I have done 20 lasher runs after nerf and talked to about 4 - 5 people (which also did lasher runs after nerf) and we came to the conclusion that the drop rates tanked so much, it is barely worth doing for herbs / doing at all. Grey loot still gives gold. Selling herbs was about 25% of the total gold ammount made. This is basically gone now. There is many other options now more lucrative, but gatekeeped by class. Shamans, Paladins, Mages, Priests, Warlocks all have a heavy gold income nerf as of right now.

Pls provide empiric evidence of how u managed to do 2k runs after patch or just admit ur the one who messed up with ur own rant.also have u even done lashers in vanila? Mountain silversage and alot of other herbs arent even suposed to drop in dme.

I clearly said I did 2000+ runs on octowow in general and 20 runs after the nerfs.

Please go away. Your input is hurting the topic I would like to talk about

But u didnt state that u did 20runs after nerf. And u complain about 40runs but 20runs is enough evidence?

Cannot write to the game folder Move your OctoWoW install out of Program Files lor any protected
folderl, or run the launcher as administrator, then try again.

Right now the details that we have about it would be either;
1.) PvP and PvE both get cross realm (and loose cross faction) BGs together as it.
2.) PvE realm gets an option to queue into cross realm BGs that are not cross faction, or cross faction BGs. Of course this has a myriad of its own issues like potentially splitting the BG queue player base, leaving one of the two options dead in the water

Honestly it looks like we have to pick from two bad options due to the circumstances.

But there is also a third option not listed.
Leave the server queues separated, and allow players on the PVP realm to level up faster, so we start to see more lvl 60 players, so the bgs start to pop more often.
There are many ways of implementing this and tuning things up.
I'd prefer if you just gave x2 xp, as I stated multiple times. Maybe give x3 xp for 2 months until October 1st (BWL launch), and then lower it to x2 or x1, depending on how many lvl 60 players there will be at the moment (and maybe a poll?).
Also better rewards for bgs can attract more players, like a daily quest to win a bg and receive some raid consumables , or mats to craft them, or just gold. So PVP players can spend more time playing bgs than grinding gold for the raids.

Overall the idea is to boost PVP server leveling speed so we can see more lvl 60 players faster, and to boost bgs activity on lvl 60.

True, I support that. That's the only way to do it that seems somewhat logical to me

I do hear a really loud minority

How many times do we need to teach you shills the same lesson?

If there's uncertainty or indecision on increased xp rates (BG or just 2x in general) it might be worth running a community poll. It would give a clearer picture of whether these are actually niche requests or something a large portion of the player base on the pvp realm would actually want.

HC to PVP WHEN

Finally someone asks the real questions. SOONtm.

Do it today!

They've stated they aren't interested in a poll on exp rates, so you're shit out of luck on that one.

Side note, 9 minute AB queue now. Splendid work.
