CAN Wrote:the best thing they can do is just revert to before 1.03Too late at this point. The economy's fucked. Upgrades for my gear are in the 50-100 Mill range (each!) and, thanks to Blizzard, my gold farming capability is about 200k/hour.
the best thing for me
I’m not sure how it got so out of control so fast. I assume it’s the gold farmers. You can buy 10m gold for $20. My guess is that tons of people did just that and the value of gold deflated radically. Blizzard came in and fixed it, but it was way too late. The damage was done. At this point, all the gold farming fixes have done is drawn a huge, uncrossable line between the people who managed to get good gear early and the people who are trying to get it now.
The only real solution I can think of is more supply. If gear starts dropping in greater quantities, it can drive down prices to a more reasonable range. However, the downside to that is that you end up “beating” the game faster (getting to the point where you’ve done all you can with your character and move on). Additionally, from Blizzard’s standpoint, you also end up losing a lot of revenue from the RMAH.
