Watching my GAH/RMAH sales since the banwave, I began to think....What if blizzard's plan is to ban us every 3 weeks to not scare us off and keep having us buy copies of d3?
how much profit would I make if blizzard banned us every 3 weeks?
Months ago, it would only take 3-4 days(making $15~$20 a day per bot from experience) to break even and after that was just profit.
Surviving 3 weeks would be net about $300 in pure profit but that's not the case anymore.
Right now with the gold prices plumetted as well as item prices dropping due to huge supply, I wondered how much gold I would have to make for it to pay for itself.
Unless you have many many copies bought during the sale($30~$35) already, it would cost $60+tax per copy which is about $64.
This translates into about $91.42 worth of gold on RMAH(nets $64 after 70% cut) which is about 365million gold per copy.
Assuming you're just gold farming at 700k an hour(16.8mil per day), you'd have to farm 21.7days JUST to break even.
Last week was about average 30mil per day which was about $5.25 per bot per day.
At this rate, if I buy a new copy, I'd have to successfully bot for 12 days to break even.(Thank God I bought my copies for $35 on newegg and made about $30 profit so far.)
If blizzard lets us bot for 3 weeks, that would net me about $110-$64=$46 per bot....
Now, considering all the trouble scanning/putting items on AH, risk in losing the account before 3 weeks, leveling to 60 and gearing, etc....
I'm beginning to think is this worth all that trouble anymore?
