Gold Nerfs punishing newer players, casuals

I was gonna left too, but then discovered a chaotic market, where everything was princing up and made you quick rich for selling trash. RMT was out of control.

Part of them are coming back, since Global buff got added. So they can left again till 1475 or 1490 global buff. They are sane enough not to burnout themselves.

what a pleb cant even make los 18 without payin, dude just play somethin else this game not for you.

It’s another topic i guess.

No, by removing resources on their way from 1445+ until they are a certain point.
Hence this change does not impact a 1500+ player, but 1445-1489 range.

It is fine to reward being a high level, but is it good for the game if new players feel slowed down?
Dont 1500+ players want more players in that range to form lobbies and guilds with?

All us players at 1500+ wondering how we got out of a deadzone so easily without swiping…

As far as I’m concerned now, there will be 4 groups of people:

  1. People who have their rosters at 1500+ and couldn’t care a single shit what’s happening

  2. People that are in between the 1445-1490 range but already got experience of clearing Valtan/Vykas by doing it for weeks and months, just for less gold now

  3. People who just bought busses all the way, will find less people bussing now (I guess?) and have to learn the mechs finally to clear Valtan/Vykas, should’ve been a thing since months tbh, make bussing a banable offense already

  4. People who are fed up with recent gold changes and quit

EDIT: Nvm, there’s a fifth group. People who have a guild or friends and don’t have to bother about literally anything. My suggestion is: Find this guild or get your friends on board.

Again how they are slow down since they skip 9 months ? They get propulse to x6 1445 !
1500+ lobies are great ! I’m a PUG only so i never got trouble finding grp or making one (EUC)!

sure u can just nolife cards runs or play casually for 1 year

I’m just saying objectively they reduced the means for such players to go up compared to before.

They could have reduced the gold, and increased drops in the lower chaos dungeons slightly to compensate
This would have reduced the free gold on the market, without hurting the previous progression to 1500.

TBH Brel gate 3 + g4 giving total 1500 gold is a joke, when Argos used to be 2700 gold.

With this change things become little better. But they still need to buff the g3+g4 brel gold to at least 5k. ( i mean g1 +g2 are 4500).

This will make all players that farm easy gold on argos wanting to go and “experience” the harder content - perfectly balanced as all things should be

It’s a related topic. Gold nerf can cause demotivation for newer/average players.

Because you didnt received Gold nerf? The commenter means it will turn into.

Removing gold sources or limiting them just promotes RMT, Swiping or running bots.
They will never get rid of bots because it makes them money and acts as a spine for them,
People saying gold nerf is a good thing are casual andies with less then 4 characters and need to lay off the Copium

i would guess most would like to downvote it.
But reality is - that before this gold nerf from lower content -if you had lower lvl characters you would get more gold than with high ilvl, THis is not normal since the cost of everything when higher ilvl is a lot more

that before this gold nerf from lower content -if you had lower lvl characters you would get more gold than with high ilvl

that is just wrong… clown gives 4500 argos gave 2700… brel is what 8k?

and how many argos + oreha you can do (for 4700 gold per character) until you finish your clown + brel ?

Like if you spend 10 hours on the game - then yes, you wil lget more gold with higher ilvl

You loose oreha gold with what ilvl? 1415? why even account for that?
If u rly wanna tell me that oreha is worth skipping valtan and vykas then u are just delusional

AGS needs to understand there’s more to gold than just honing.

For anyone not in current end-game content (and actually many of them as well), this is an absolute garbage move. I don’t give a crap about removing gold cost honing to 1445. It STILL costs a ton going from 1445 to 1475 and above, and the primary sources of gold prior to 1475 have just been hamstrung even further. Honing isn’t the only cost. A major cost, one which impacts everyone, is cost of things in the AH. Your chances of actually finding useful gear for your class/build is damn near zero, and this move is more likely to just inflate prices further since people will be desperate for gold and earn less from content. Before this it’d cost anywhere from 100,000g-300,000g just for gear required to make a build on a character at any given time. That’s likely to just go even higher now.

Everyone needs multiple characters to earn gold just to play, because the content already doesn’t supply enough needed to progress, and now they’ve nerfed it further after over a year of total incompetence handling bots. It’s not just this gold nerf, but all the other gold sources they removed trying to deal with the bots as well.

So no, this effectively gates people out who aren’t end-game already, and is likely to just make people walk away the moment something better comes along…

Something like Diablo 4 which releases in only a few days, which I’ve already pre-purchased. Soon I won’t need to deal with this crappy game anymore. I know -everyone- in my friends group playing this dumb game are on the same page here (a whole guild is gonna go poof soon as it’s released haha), and I highly doubt we’re alone in that sentiment. LA had its chance to be a good balanced game, but at every turn they find ways to screw over their players, so it’s about time to kick it to the curb.

You never needed to deal with it in the first place. Just stop playing. Simple.
