Gold Inflation.

[Vagisaurous]

How long do you think it will take gold to just become worthless unless you have billions? I am currently leveling a DH on a different account so main doesn't get banned and it will take me some time to get to Inferno since I work a lot. Will gold still be worth farming in a week and a half to two weeks?

ez bot 1-60

Another useless thread. Gold will never be obsolete. Use your brain to find out why

i think once battle arena is open gold will go up. also once a expansion hits same thing, more player = higher demand

 

[siferxxx]

Off topic question, but i guess its not allowed to advertise trading for wow gold for d3 gold right?

It will not be obsolete, but the rate at which a bot can gather versus millions of gold per dollar will eventually render bots pretty negligible in terms of profit and make it take muuuch longer for a bot to break even, increasing risk of operating at a loss. That being said, I have to love the denial a lot of people are in.

I'm sure blizzard will attempt to combat it somehow, meanwhile it'll pay off for us.

we have a badass over here.

 

[twistedfaith]

To be honest, its pointless to sell gold even at this point. Buying good items from dumb people on the gold AH and reposting them on the cash AH is where its at

I highly doubt it, in fact Im pretty sure they designed it this way to combat botters. Think of it like this:

1. High value drops come from random encounters, requiring a bot to be VERY overgeared to handle, increasing initial investment/risk per bot.
2. Gold inflates so gold farming bots become less and less effective, but has little effect on the average manual player, as they can sell 1 valuable item for millions or tens of millions, putting them back into market power.

Also you have to ask yourself, HOW will they combat it? The only way is to either
A) remove gold from the economy or
B) Artificially make everything else more expensive

If you go with A, the thing is is where is that money? The players. If they want to remove money from the economy they have to take players out of the game (bans or players simply not playing anymore), or they have to increase the cost of playing (i.e repair costs, crafting costs, fees) and that simply wont happen because anytime they go that direction they meet a wall of QQ from the playerbase, so they always go the other direction with it. I know a lot of people that bot like to count their chickens on how much a bot will make them over the rest of the month, and I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but eventually we'll all be making chump change soon, except for those running a fuckton of bots, and even then their return on investment will be significantly reduced.

Bots can get you 1-60, sure, but don't you have to beat hell to get to Inferno and then beat Nightmare before Hell? >.>

couldn't agree more,

Simple, if an item costs 100g and then sold for 200 then sold for 400 etc it wouldnt matter if it were 100million?

Manually players will still SELL their good gear for 100's of millions and be able to buy better gear for hundreds of millions, the only issue, LONGER to get there, no botting for 8-10 hours with GF, GF% will become USELESS GOLD wont be useless just will need a LOT more now, only way to combat it, add something as a money sink, so many a GAMBLE HOUSE or better crafting plans....maybe BOE....

Did you even play Diablo 2? Have you not read, specifically what blizz has said about there attempts to keep gold having a value. Same thing as WoW they will make gold sinks they already are IE repairs etc etc. Games in early stage, It might become ineffective to bot and make real money from, but in game gold will have a economic marker. and remove gold ??? they can just nerf the fuck out of it. IE less gold from drops = more value. This game IS not WoW, farming for gold is a term that was coin'd more for MMO... and should not be dragged into this game due to the fact there is a bot for it. It will wind up being a cat and mouse game for items and crafting mats more so, but gold farming will exist.

 

[Vagisaurous]

I guess I will just farm all I can and keep all the gold I can until it just bottoms out or I get banned, and then in a year when this game sucks all the gear will be cheap! xD

I do not mean to insult your intelligence, but your typing skills are horrid and in conjunction with your statement your post does less than a perfect job of lending you to intelligence. Also, while you may have read what Blizz-buzzard said is it not possible to consider they retracted their previous statements? Historically Blizzard is known to do this whenever they can't make a simple hotfix. And generally speaking... THIS IS A FARMING GAME. I am sorry to inform you, but farming for gold or gear is what this game is about. It's not about beating it, but rather about farming it to have uber gear so you (anyone really) feel better about your pathetic lacking lives - At least that's the developers intentions and I am not bad mouthing anyone. I am just making a transparency statement.

And another one. I was merely pointing out that he was bad mouthing a particularly well thought out post. I am sorry you're stuck on the small details. Small details, small mind... I can't tell anymore. Anyways I am glad you can read.

you keep badmouthing people that are not bad mouthing you.. PLUS he the person you commented on before this guy wasnt stating that diablo 3 wanst a farming game, on the contrary... ( please read a comment properly if you are gonna bash on it for something meaningless)


u do know that the way u reply ( all offesive) is a bigger marker of a low IQ then the way people type on the internet ( the aggressive reaction showing that the brain is not able to handle the matter in a civilised constructive manner ).

For instance, my way of typing is horrible. I use wierd acronyms and some words i dont even use the right lettering.
But I'm a Biologist and have an IQ of 138.

If one has a High(er) IQ it does not mean he/she has anything in the way of common sense. IQ, intelligence Quotient, is the measure of one's ability to learn. Thank you for bringing up another pointless post. Also, I believe I am expressing myself without anger or malice. I am simply making fun of the situation and equally amusing and or sillly posts. I am sitting here laughing. Oh my, you ares are really.. LOL. I'm not here to agree with everyone and the fact that I can compose myself quite clearly is.. well, more efficient and a great note of intelligence. Thank you senior Biologist staff who forgot the proper use of language and writing. lawl for those of you who don't get how funny this is. Condescending, yes. Angry, no.


P.S. if you really feel I am below you in terms of mental facilities then I must instate the obvious, while making fun of myself, and that is: Don't argue with an idiot. You're arguing with the best of them. "
