Converting Gold To Plans Instead of Gems?

[jackasshole]

I use to sell buy gems with gold, and then sell the gems on the RMAH.

That method is now causing me to lose nearly half my gold value, which is unacceptable.

Has anyone had any luck buying Legendary Plans for Gold, and selling them in the RMAH without much loss?

If not, what method do you use, (considering gold hardly sells, and gems aren't worth shit anymore)

Thanks!

Your gold does not lose value when selling them as gems, your gold is only worth that much these days.
Plans are pretty shit to sell. So i would not do that

gold is worth as much as someone is whiling to pay , which right now isnt much

Plans will be worthless next week now that you've given people a bad idea.

Legendary plans are only worth like 2-5 mil, no one will pay $ for that. Plus the market is even smaller than the gem market, only way to go now is chinese buyers and soon they wont even buy gold.

Gold is worthless, and it will be that way forever now. In this economy where bots can generate gold from thin air (contrary to wow, where they can only circulate gold between players buying stuff from AH and players buying gold), and number of bots owned by each botter proportional only to profitability of buisness with selling it, price of gold will be inevitably dropping towards 0, and nothing, except making botting nonprofitable due to perfect detection-ban systems could change it, period.

Bots in other games produce currency just the same as in D3. The things that will effect it moving forward is player base size and gold sinks being used. Player base size / consumers of gold is the single biggest factor in the price of gold. If they improve the game as they say they are planning to. Then it will not always be forever doomed. Although it could be doomed for some time now.

If they can get the mass casuals back with semi decent gold sinks we will have decent profit back. Until then you either bot for nickles or wait for next opportunity.

You dont understand. Gold sinks -> greater demand for gold -> rise of gold prices -> more bots, and we are in same situation as in the beginning. Its not possible to balance currency price in game where bots can generate it, because botters will just add more bots, choking demand with increasing supply to a point where price is so low, that botting is not profitable anymore (just like right now in d3).

In WoW, you get new Raid content with harder mobs/bosses or PvP content with a new tier of gear, so ilvl of gear/mats/recipes have to go up as well. Players are forced to buy new gear to stay competitive.

In Diablo 3, the content keeps getting easier (or more worthless to farm). ilvl of gear doesn't increase until next expansion comes, which is between 1.5 years to 2.5 years.

Furthermore, Diablo 3 is intentionally reduced in content to prevent it from competing directly with WoW/Titan.

I think he does. Currency will never be balanced just like it never has in D3 and it doesn't have to be. It's all about updates (good ones and not the shitty ones D3 has been doing) to keep people interested. That's what increases the players, increases the demand, increases the $......temporarily...then repeat. Same as WoW. If they just quit adding shit then eventually players are moving on. So he does understand.

Thing is that no amount of content can make situation with gold price in diablo similar to WoW simply because dramatic difference between how gold is generated in both this games. In WoW bots dont have any impact on gold supply within ingame economy, they are basically just taking their share in "cake" of AH raw material sales to players, and new gold is inserted into economy with very slow rate bacause usuall player activities like raiding and pvping are producing very small amounts of it (or at least they were when i was last time playing WoW 2 xpacs agoo). In diablo playing and generating more gold are basically same things, and bots are CREATING tons of it out of thin air. Of course adding interesting content and gold sinks can prolong ultimate crash, but it will never came nowhere close to stability of WoW where gold maintained considerable value for years. Only thing which could revitalize gold price right now, would be creating new "tier" of currency, lets say platinium (similar to gold, silver and copper in WoW), with exchange rate of 1 to 100 gold, which would drop only in some newly introduced content, and adjusting accordingly all thresholds in AH, so that maximum GAH would be 2 billion platinium, and minimum RMAH sale would be 1 mil platinium for 0.25 c. But this wont happen until xpac, if ever.

Hrmm....do I sit on the gold and hope not to get banned before demand goes up, or sell now for what I can.....

HMMMMMMMMM

So what happened a month ago?

They need a ladder.

Or, to kill 2 birds with 1 stone they could create an entire new section of content that you have to pay a lot of gold to access. Like an arena with waves of enemies ending in a guaranteed BoA item.
