World of Warcraft®

Ok I know its still 2 months out and I don't truly know the gold status of this server yet, only been here a few weeks.

This is going to be bad when this opens up and heroic parts start to hit it(bracers and belt). I really don't feel like going into a biding war with other million's on this server so I vote we do something. I say we do a 1v1 in an arena some were to see who can bid on it. This will save some one from bidding so dam high and wasting so much gold.

Or we can just wast the gold and not care about anyone. I truly don't think a guild is going to drop 1 mil on an item for 1 person. This is more about the people that have a few mil saved up for something like this, like me :P

In other news some one buy my 5k fortune cards- I need at least 2 mil gold lol

I would not be too concerned about it, yea there are some people around the server that are filthy rich. But remember how expensive the DS gems used to be?, well I might be wrong but my prediction is that the gear start really expensive but it will go down in price really fast, faster than gems.

The reason is the dungeon challenge sets, everybody will have access to cool shiny new gear, regardless of raiding status.

Finally I'm going to finish saying this:

Everything I know could be wrong...everything.

I have to agree with Arialna on this one. Cost will drop over time and everyone will have a chance at gear.

Now if I could get my DK's ruthless set. hmmmmmmm ok time to go grind more BG.

It's the beta. Nothing on the beta is real until it makes it to live -- we may never see heroic raid gear on the BMAH at all. They're just testing at this point.

But regardless of that, everything on the Black Market Auction House is pretty randomly generated. You may see an Ashes of Al'ar on the BMAH every week, or you may never see one at all. Heroic raid gear might pop up on there -- or we may never see it. That said, it seems really, really silly to spend untold amounts of gold on raid gear, when the alternative is saving your gold and hitting the raids for yourself.

You shouldn't be worrying about the black market AH when it comes to anything like gear or mounts - Because they are going to be extremely high, and also randomly appear to only be bid against another player. You said you have a few mil saved up? Good for you, and good for the guy bidding against you, at least he will have someone to fight for on ashes of alar. It's near gold cap bidding with this stuff, so if you were to really sum it down and compare it to wow, its really for wows Billionaires rather then the millionaires. Accounts are allowed 20mill gold cap per realm, so if you have 1 mill or 5mill to dump into this gold sink then fine. I don't know what you mean by fighting against other millions, the highest populated server is Illdan with 46,000 players total - not dividing between horde/alliance.

The whole point of this AH is a reverse quantitative easing ,were blizzard takes away gold from this game, so you bragging about having millions to dump really does nothing but make you seem stupid.

Its not going to be as big a deal as everyone says - although i believe it will moderate the inflation - i doubt it will demote any of the rich : this method only offers luxurys and won't force the rich to spend any of their money. Also the amount of currency being generated will only go up this expansion by 19% from regular price indices. If you do the average 13 quest per day you will be able to generate 474,000 gold in a year - a year seems like a long time doesn't it? Not when that is only going to add on to your additional AH earnings or whatever else you pick up on the way. Pretty much, everyone is going to be rich in Mop, unless of course blizzard raises the gold cap which i see them having to do with all this inflation.

I already have ashes, and i already have plenty of gold. This won't effect me because i won't have to buy anything, and i have Jewelcrafting which is already the mainstream supplier to anyone looking to gem up. There is that yek but it's just another travelers, it doesn't even have anymore seats. At this point the joke is on blizzard, they aren't targeting the wealthy in the right way.

What now blizzard? The Rich get Richer, the Questers make modest earnings and inflation is through the roof. Next i will expect blizzard will add in a Fed to control our spending haha.

@armageddon. Wow are you missing the point. Var isnt bragging about how much gold he has; and he could give a !@#$ less about mounts. He is clearly talking about H raid gear which is obviously usefull to any raider rich or not. Blizz is targeting all of the different types of "rich" toons with the BMAH. ie pet collectors, mount collectors, raiders etc. It will have something for everyone. Basically he is saying; He would rather not get into a bidding war with other Millionaires for H raid loot and is proposing a fun less expensive method of keeping the bidding sane.

No one should count on this even being close to a viable option for gearing up a character. If you can raise that kind of gold in the game, you're going to have much better success paying your way into raids for gear than hoping the right items appear for you in the black market AH (which doesn't include set pieces), hoping you can afford to outbid everyone else on your realm, and hoping you're the last one to bid before the auction ends.

Sure, it'll have some of the best rewards for sale. But that doesn't mean it'll be remotely reliable for one person to gear up quickly. It's the black market, after all.

Ultimately the system is going to benefit the extremely wealthy and the extremely lucky. But in all likelihood the benefits won't at all be consistent, even for those who can pony up the gold. - Sincerely Blizzard Entertainment.

I'm not counting this as a way to get gear trust me. I am saying just what Macbride put out. I dont feel like paying 999k gold for an item when we can pay 200k+ a duel

I am failing to understand by 200k a duel. If by what you mean that you duel your friends for 200k to obtain boe items then i don't think it makes much sense. If that person who has that item already, probably won it in a roll. Least of all to say that the BMAH is a very clever technique for getting rid of gold in the game. But it is embarrassing to admit Blizzards current predicament with MoP. I frankly don't like it, but i can't judge yet because it is not out yet. I was sure id hate wotlk, but that turned out to be pretty cool. Cata was not all that fun though - mainly because they were just bringing back a lot of old bosses : Ragnaros,Onyxia,Nerfian, etc.
But the thing is, these are just opinions. Have you tried this BMAH yet? Or are you just judging it based on the small scale of information you have?

You could just transfer to Barthilas and buy full heroic clears+loot+possible mounts for a lot cheaper than a mil a couple months into the expac.
