I really enjoyed early Cataclysm healing. Was MoP Healing more comparable to Cata or WoD?

Scaling mana regen (spirit) and badly designed talents/trinkets means that at some point you no longer care about it since your number of possible actions is more limited then your ability to spend mana. And since mana is not a concern consistent aoe damage also loses its threat. You can either put out enough hps or you cant. So in order to threaten death you have to resort to 1 shot mechanics. Giving everyone big cooldowns (and having them in the first place) means that fights tend to resolve around big spikes that are then simply covered by using said cd. I'm not saying expansion X had it perfect but WoW has imo always been a story of mix results on the healing side. | ||

I remember Halfus and V&T with just dungeon gear and 50% PuG raid was challenging but manageable. | ||

i'm at 58/125 abrogator at the end of the second week if anyone is wondering how much faster you get them after having done the quest once before~ I was not doing many work orders though. I'm gonna ramp them up hard, do heroic/normal before LFR if at all possible and try to complete it in four weeks, but that might fail | ||

It's not really balancing out by itself in their system. Since you can list at the peak price and you're guaranteed to get it, there will be supply spikes around the peaks that couldn't exist in a market without blizzards system pulling gold out of thin air (to give 25k to somebody after another player buys their token for 19k) Around 4 days ago, they made the up/down rate be able to adjust much more finely and also aggressively, but it hasn't done that much to help. It had some good effects though - EU price got established more quickly than US, and it spiked past ~10% per hour in China with their recent release. I don't know enough about economics over there to even comment on their price, unlike EU vs US which are pretty much just sister regions in the english speaking world currently it's varying about +-12.5% on US on a ~12hour cycle (so if you wait 12 hours after the minimum, you'll get ~25% more gold). It's varying some though. These last few days had a swing of +34% which i think is unacceptably high for something that has such a stable price already (if you look at a moving average of 3-10 days, it's not varying anywhere near that wildly) | ||

I always wondered about that as well, looks like the [token buyers for real money] per [token buyers for gold] ratio in us is much higher than in europe. And it is getting more extreme, eu token is up to about 47k peak right now. Edit: On the other hand there may be more Gold on eu accounts, would that have the same effect? Or it's the fact that the token in eu is too expensive in the eyes of customers? | ||

This exact same split happened in Wildstar, but i strongly suspected economic manipulation because there were a few issues with that. Maybe it's just a demographic thing with americans valuing their money a lot less. I don't really have a better explanation  EU setting a new peak this morning was interesting too | ||

Russia, east countries, arab countries. Just a lot of people on the europe servers that don't use the euro and have literally very little reason to buy ti with money. | ||

I don't really have a better explanation EU setting a new peak this morning was interesting too I think Blizzard tweaked their algorithms again with the Chinese launch. If you look at the NA and EU graphs that's the point they both break their previous patterns. Regarding NA vs EU, without having hard data as to the gold reserves/incomes of the players in each region (informal polls on a site like MMO-Champion are not remotely reliable) I think any theories as to why EU Tokens cost more are essentially speculation. It could be any of the following, or all of them:
I don't think it's ultimately that important. | ||

I don't think it's ultimately that important. It's just one of those questions.. How does the universe exist as it does? What purpose does life have? Why are tokens in the EU ~1.7x more expensive than in NA? | ||
