TBC Anniversary’s Economy Is Getting Out of Control

追加: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Yeah, I got the money for the the flask we were talking about. You know, the consumables. I'm going to need a lot for my rage. So, we've gathered a decent amount of gold. Oh, you want one of these consumables? You want one of these consumes? Just let me know what the prices are. You know, just something that doesn't break the bank, right? Cuz I got raid this week. You know, we got to do SSC. We got to do TK. We also got to do a quick roll. We really don't need to consume on that, you know, cuz pretty easy. But, you know, maybe some people want to do a mag as well. So, that might be a little timeconuming, but just try not to kill me, man. You know I got a family, right? I got a family. You know that, man. You know that. Let's see the list of consumes that you got. Um, I'm going to need like a flask of assault.

[00:00:37]We're probably going to need a flask of blinding light. Um, maybe even one of those other shadowy uh flask. I forget the name of them. Sometimes we're just going to need a couple flasks. Just tell me the flask of blinding light. It's probably like what? Like 60 gold.

[00:00:50]Nothing crazy. 70 gold. Nothing breaking the bank, right? Well, that's going to cost you about 140 gold. Sorry, what' you say?

[00:00:57]>> About 140 gold.

[00:00:59]>> What?

[00:01:01]140 gold, bro. I got like 300 gold to my name right now at the current moment.

[00:01:05]That's really all I have. I put all my money into my enchants and and my gems and my my other consumables that I'm using like for personal usage. Like, all right, 300 gold. It should still be enough for the other flask, right? How much is a flask of assault? Come on now.

[00:01:17]Be honest with me. Be honest with me.

[00:01:19]Yeah, about 140. We got other flasks as well. Oh, they're about 103. We got some that are like 110, 120, give or take.

[00:01:27]103 gold for a flask of assault. What?

[00:01:30]What? What are we doing? Are you robbing me? Are you trying to rob me? Is that what you're trying to do? Um, maybe a couple hours of grinding. Whatever you got to do. But hey, >> that sounds like a you problem, not the auction guy.

[00:01:43]>> I I listen, man. I'm just working my damn job. I don't care how you get your money, too, bro. Whether you're grinding for it, whether you're doing your dailies or you have a job IRL, none of that matters to me.

[00:01:54]>> Why is it this time? You mean to tell me you're going to be in a 9 to5 IRL, then work a 9 to5 to get the goal to afford the consumes to be in a raid for sometimes 5 TO 9 HOURS? WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? LISTEN, MAN. If you can't afford the prices, it's not my fault. All right. I got a job to work here. All right. Listen, man. I got 300 gold. Just give me what you got. If you're a broke boy, just say so. So, you mean to tell me I got 300 gold? I could afford two flask, maybe an extra one if I'm lucky, and a dream. All right. Well, how much are scrolls? Surely scroll.

[00:02:24]>> We got scrolls. We can afford a couple scrolls.

[00:02:26]>> We got scrolls. All right. For a price.

[00:02:29]>> 8 to 10 gold. Take it back. What are you talking about?

[00:02:32]>> I mean, hey, man, if you can't afford it, that's on you. You just sound like another broke boy in the TBC atmosphere.

[00:02:39]Come on, man. Let's be real here. You don't really need to grind any gold, brother. What you need to do is use G2G, the world's leading website. You can grind your gold via there with >> via commission [ __ ] >> For $9.99, you can get yourself a thousand gold. You can do face to face trades, auction house trades, peerto-peer trades, backside trades, >> back shop trades.

[00:02:59]>> Let's settle down. Not that type of website. You get what I'm saying?

[00:03:02]Listen, what are we trying to grind your gold? Just don't ever come back TO THE HOUSE. THIS [ __ ] don't be cheap. And if you keep RUNNING YOUR MOUTH LIKE THAT, I'm just going to beat your [ __ ] >> But what do we have here? Extra gold in your side pocket. I guess you had extra gold on you after all those side quests you did to afford your active flying, huh?

[00:03:22]Wrong mistake, >> [ __ ] Thanks for the pocket change you had, little man. You going to be broke as hell come Black Temple. I'll tell you what, you going to be a broke boy. I'll see you then. I didn't know how to like record this without trying to come off in a way that not everybody will agree with or disagree with, but I'm just going to talk my mind and you guys can let me know how you feel in the comments below. Subscribe and keep subscribing, like the videos or dislike them, whatever you want to do. That was all I wanted to say. Good video. Anyways, I'm just joking about that. Uh, besides that part, yeah, to be honest with you, the economy is kind of scuffed. I'm not going to lie. I mean, I'll say it like this. If you're a casual player, of course you don't need to use consumes. I think everybody with a brain understands that it's post nerf. You don't need to consume a single time. But if you're a player that likes to be a part of the game and actually play the product outside of just going for new upgrades on your gear that you get only through raid or only through dungeons, you like to get gold and put enchants on that gear and use consumables to strengthen your character to efficiently clear things a little bit faster than others.

[00:04:30]There's nothing wrong with that. I feel like there's this weird like anti-consumable thing in TBC right now where I see in several creators videos with comments people saying, "You don't need consumes to clear any of this."

[00:04:40]You're 100% right. At the same time, I don't need the shoulder on my character at all. I can just go shoulderless. I don't need a weapon. I could just punch mobs to death if I wanted to. You see what I'm getting at? You don't need these upgrades, but it's cool to get them. You don't need consumes, but it's cool to use them. You don't need gems, but it's cool to have them to have more strength or mana or whatever you use for your class stat. It's just nice to have these things. Like, it's a part of the game. It's something that's been around for a long time. So, when people say this like weird cringe stuff about saying, "Oh, I don't use consumables at all. I'm a dad of like five or I'm just a person that plays the game very simple and casually and I click my one button and that's it." Okay, you can play that.

[00:05:22]You could do that the way you want. You can also play Elder Ring with just a club and the prisoner build and never get any other item in the game and just go balls deep into Elden Ring and get all the way to the end and defeat it.

[00:05:34]You know what I'm saying? And beat the the final Elden Lord. You could do that, but some people like to play with the variety of builds that the game offers.

[00:05:43]So, I find it very cringe when like people say, "Don't use consumables. Get stuff in post nerf because you could just go in there with your people and just clear all the content. All you need is just the gear and that's it." What about the enchants? What about the gems?

[00:05:55]What about the stuff that I don't know, the developers put in the game for a reason? That kind of conversation needs to stop and it needs to die. And if people are really trying to say that they should play the game a certain type of way and only follow the way that you think is right or you think is deemed respectable, it's kind of corny. I'm going to be honest with you. It It's not how people should approach the look of The Burning Crusade. People should play how they want to play, how they want to approach it, and how they like to enjoy it with their friends because that's what matters at the end of the day is playing with your friends and how your friends approach the game or meeting new people, getting used to what they do and playing with them and enjoying that or not enjoying that and finding other people to vibe with to play the way you want to approach the game. TBC does have a massive consumable issue and prices are really high. Manistle 30 gold a pop.

[00:06:42]It's kind of crazy. And my big thing right now when it comes to farms, because I know a lot of people have farms. I love to farm. I feel like sometimes maybe my community forgets or maybe new people who have come to my community forget, but when I played Sod, I fished my Ashbrer, bro. I lived in the swamp of sorrows for hours on end. We're talking 12, 15 hour stream nights where I lived in different sections of the kingdoms and farmed all my gold and got my legendary. I farmed all my gold and got my consumables. I legitimately played the game at a high level to make sure that I was always consumed and prepped and ready. I love farming. It's very fun. And TBC, I enjoy it, too. But the problem is when you're losing a battle 5 to 10x to the bots that are just outdoing you in every way, shape, or form. Your farm becomes completely illegitimate. It becomes dubbed down because you're not doing it as efficiently as the AI and the scripts and the bots are doing. I saw an interesting video yesterday actually, which I'll have here on the screen now, of the OSRS creator, shout out to him.

[00:07:44]I'll put his video in the description below, talking about how Jagex tackles these bots and how they've been tackling over 6.2 million bots that they have already tackled against and taken away from the game. And I find it very inspiring for like a person like myself to talk about this because I feel like Blizzard should find some inspiration from this to want to get rid of bots before Classic Plus even happens or at least find new methods of security or implementations of whatever type of strategy they have with their security team or whatever they do to actually monitor the situation, if they even have a security team. I'm just, you know, shooting the [ __ ] here. But what I'm getting at is I really think they need to do a better job at tackling this stuff because when I saw this video, I'm like, "Oh my god, dude. I see these massive server banks that this dude in the VOD was talking about with discussing his information with an actual bot seller and how much gold financially they were making per month as you see on the screen right now." And I'm like, man, how much money are people making in the burning crusade when we're living in a very inflated economy? I can only imagine the amount of thousands of thousands of US dollars people are racking in whether it's overseas in other countries or in our own country when it comes to the Burning Crusade.

[00:08:56]It's kind of insane and I hope when Classic Plus does happen, we do a much better job at answering the forum post, answering the creators post, answering the community's post when it comes to actually seeing the problems in the game. Right now, what people want more than ever from what I've been seeing is the marks of the Ilidari maybe moved a phase earlier so we can afford maybe some type of consumables or some type of badge vendor for consumes. Don't put the badge vendor for any gear. Erase the DST idea if anything. I don't care about DST. I don't care about any items or actual grinding effort style, you know, going through raid with your guild and going each week winning and failing, winning and failing. That's fine. But when it comes to flask, how about we put a badge vendor where you put three flask on the vendor and every week you could buy up to three flask and that's it with badges. This way it incentivizes people doing dungeons so they can farm badges to get their flask and then they only can get up to three which is a limited stock each week and at the same time you still have to grind in the world to afford more flask and consumables. You can even put it down to two or one a week. I don't care. The point is, you have to have modern solutions to these problems which need resolutions. We don't have any. We're losing to the bots. We're instance locked per hour.

[00:10:13]You can only do five instances. And if I hop on my rogue, I play a rogue as well.

[00:10:17]I've been raiding my rogue and my paladin. I can only do five instances per hour of mana tombs or steam bolts.

[00:10:23]I'm limited on my own farm there. If I go to grand and I'm chasing stuff in the gas clouds, it's already being beat for most of the time. Also, if you don't have epic flying, you're [ __ ] out of luck. You're losing so much time at that point, it's not even worth the effort to even put in because the bots are just going to beat you. You're farming primals, good luck on that as well. It's not to say that farms don't exist. But once again, even if you're farming anamantite stones or you're farming sappers or any type of herbs or some type of neat little trick, you found a method of making gold, you are still losing 5 to 10x to the bots that are making more efficiency of the gold per hour than you are. That's the problem.

[00:10:58]And I'm going to say something right now obviously because you've already seen it from Hammer Danc's videos and that's my friend. He's my boy. He put a video up yesterday talking about GDKPS not being the main source of the problem when it comes to RMT and he's a thousand% correct guys when it comes to that type of form of playing the game. I don't really care about it too much. At the same time though, it's not the main issue that affected RMT. RMT is happening right now more than ever than it's ever happened. It's still happening. any implementations Blizzard tried to do when they were doing the whole dungeon nerfs and people couldn't get XP in a certain way to attempt to stop boosting, then they reverted it.

[00:11:33]It's not stopping RMT. It's happening more than ever. And people are saying, "Oh, you get banned." There are so many ways to RMT in this game to backoor profit. You would be shocked on how many ways you can do it. And it's that easy.

[00:11:46]And it's not catchable, by the way, because people are smart. They're not idiots. They're not just going to buy through the mailbox and, you know, oh my god, they bought through the mailbox.

[00:11:54]Now they're banned for 2 weeks. No, there's so many other methods of doing it. And that's the problem. Blizzard knows this, but nothing's being done.

[00:12:01]And if something is being done, can they share anything with us to let us know that you are making an attempt to fix the economy? Because as the phases get on forward, yes, things will, you know, straighten out after a certain point when raids are slowing down, but then things are going to go skyrocket back up come the next phase. And the prices right now are still going to remain stagnant until the time when the raids kind of die out and everyone has their bis gear and prices finally lower a little bit. But this type of system right now and how the game is, you know, played for the casual player, it's very hard for them to get involved to actually afford stuff and then you got to do all the quests in the outlands afford their epic flying or maybe they don't even buy their epic flying. They skip out on it and then they can't farm as efficient because they don't got the epic flying. So they're, you know, locked out to dungeons. but then they're locked out to dungeons because you can only do a certain amount per hour. So, what are the alternatives? You just keep doing more quests that you don't have anymore or you just maybe you just keep doing more heroic dungeons or you keep, you know, disenchanting. But once again, like I said earlier, you're not going to beat what the bots are already doing.

[00:13:04]So, there has to be some type of alternative, some type of solution to solve these problems. And I personally think, like I mentioned earlier, I think the best way to do it is by adding some type of badge vendor that offers consumables on them. This way, people can still farm in the world, but people can also feel like they're comfortable with grinding dungeons and playing the raids by getting their consumes. So, they still have to play the game. They still have to get the badges and then they can get their consumes a limited amount of stock per week and then they can, you know, continue to raid each week and then they can still farm in the world. It actually is a no-brainer solution. I hope Blizzard can, you know, react to this or they can at least look at something for it because I think it would be great to solve the problems in the Outlands once and for all. But yeah, we are living in some pricey times, guys. And it it is true. So, I'll just leave it at that. Much love to you. Keep on keeping on all that good stuff. I noticed right now my camera is like lagging for some reason. I don't know what's going on. I think the Blizzard operatives are on to me. Who knows? I got to get out of here.

[00:14:08]I'll catch you on the next one. Peace out, [ __ ]
