Why I’m Worried About The Black Market Auction House In WoW Forever

  If they wanna keep the BMAH, i feel like the only things that should be on there are old TCG/blizzcon/collector's editions that were around that vanilla, maybe bc, time.

  What's good is keeping the rare materials to have a maximum price like 50gold for Black Lotus. So those could be sold by some kind of a black market vendor. Which is both a gold sink and a nice regulation of the economy.

  Especially with horizontal progression, buying more bank space would be a good idea… it’s the case in osrs and it’s extremely expensive, price scaling up exponentially with the number of slots you want to buy… and it’s still very popular

  1. We need gold sinks otherwise hyper inflation is a problem <br><br>2. I agree super rare items like that mount or the lightsabers weapons would diminish the value of them.

  Only way to make me exited for BMAH would be if everything you could buy there was exclusive to the BMAH! Make new cool things, don&apos;t let it be accessible from any drops or quests, and just sell it there. In this case good gear should be overpriced, and targeted at those who like to play the AH etc and focus their gameplay on gold, so that it would still entice every normal player to go for the raids and dungeons instead, unless they spot like 1 item they really really want there!

  I agree 100% on not having the &nbsp;incredibly raremounts/weapons (if they sell weapons) on BMAH. Gold sink good, for certain stuff. Of course, I can&apos;t save gold very well so I wouldn&apos;t get to get anything anyways.

  I&apos;m ok with gold sinks, but I definitely don&apos;t want chase items on there. I also don&apos;t like how retail eventually had so many alternate currencies, but rewarding players for running content like badges of justice and whatever allowed players to get things as well. Dungeon and raid completions, not boss kills necessarily, could reward a small amount of these, but I would prefer to avoid going down the paths retail went and just keep it to gold too.

  Something I&apos;d like to see in wow forever are competitive guild quests. Like maybe it&apos;s an instanced quest and only 1 guild per layer can complete it. <br><br>Like say it&apos;s for gathering a resource (this is just one example), whoever gets it first and turns it in, gets the reward. Make the instance PVP flagged. Heck, make it FFA, but there&apos;s options to split the reward within your own faction and a heavy penalty cost if you kill someone in your own faction (maybe have some sort of toggle to attack your own faction... This way you don&apos;t get penalized for defending yourself, only if you make that kill with the toggle on - obviously can&apos;t untoggle it while in combat).<br><br> Maybe it&apos;s an escort quest and the opposite faction is the one trying to stop the escort. <br><br>Some can be straight pve, but those would be worth less points (points could be used towards items or cosmetics) and have lower rewards. The points could also help your guild advance in taking more difficult quests. <br><br>Oh and the thing about it being instanced, the reason I want that is because once you die in there and can&apos;t be resurrected, you&apos;re booted out and have failed the quest. <br><br>If we&apos;re trying to create more community engagement, one of the ways to do that is by creating rivalries on servers. Some of my best times back in vanilla were fighting the same guys in BGs over and over again to the point that we would emote at each other and it became more personal since we usually were usually the best players on our teams (it was wsg twinks level 29). <br><br>You could even do something where you force two guilds to team up in these quests if you want to make them bigger (like send 5 of your best, each for this quest). <br><br>And maybe every once in a while, have a quest be lower rank, but 5% of the time it ends up being a much higher difficulty quest because a rare boss mob appeared and you have to make the choice of fighting it or running (you fight it and get extra rare loot if you kill it, but if you die you fail your quest). <br><br>Idk, I&apos;m spit balling here. I feel like this could keep things fresh in a unique way and also promote healthy rivalries.

  The beta is already FLOODED with Chinese bots. BMAH will just be people buying gold.

  I think the BMAH should just have exclusive cosmetics like mounts and pets and whatnot. It wouldn&apos;t diminish the value of the items people get from playing the game because those would be exclusive to those things, and then you could also get this gold sink.

  It doesn&apos;t need to be on the BMAH, period. The only reason why I have it on Retail is because Blizzard upped the drop chances for a brief window a little while back during one of their events. All of the Strat runs over the years, that was the first and only time I have ever seen it drop. I am in agreement that we do not need the BMAH.

  A good idea for a gold sink is more war efforts. Put gold into a quest turn in that when your faction wins, you get X benefit for Y time
