You said it exploded. It certainly did not. There were entire arena carrying website services that started up from it.
The entire EU Arena ladder got taken over by RU wintrading for ELO carries. That’s years before WoW tokens.
The Legion raids freaking suck. Especially Vykas. There are just too many bs one shot mechanics for it to be fun.
It certainly did explode INGAME. Im not speaking about black market there
Okay that actually makes complete sense. We tend to bus a lot of these giga-whales that can hone as much as they can but they can’t buy skill, lmao. Tonight’s bus featured a sub Roster 80 that was already 1472, zero Relic pieces 
You mean raid mechs? I find those to be quite fun actually, lmao. Short-manning (bussing) Gate 2 especially is pretty cool once you figure out the patterns.
There is nothing to defend because the game is designed to be this way
