There are also actual daily quests that give Apexis(and rep). Dropped from mobs are 650 ilvl items. You can also buy them from a vendor for Apexis. Biggest thing is an item (bought with Apexis) that upgrades any of the 650 items to a 695 item, this is more then the new raid LFR will give. So it is a giant catchup zone. It takes a bit of grinding but it will reward you with a near full set of 695 items. | ||

Comments on wowhead concur, including them dropping off rares. Which greatly affects the calculations I did previously for "how quickly can I gear up". Each upgrade token that drops is 2-4 days saved depending on your playstyle, With some luck it's not unlikely that you could gear up in a couple of weeks of concerted effort (especially if you're good at farming rares). Edit: It's occurred to me that between a ton of alts and farming rares someone like me could probably get a full set of Baleful gear on a lazy Saturday. In other news after installing Accountant and tracking my revenue I have to concur that the garrison gold nerf only reduced my income to roughly 70-80% of what it was. Which is to say I'm still making ridiculous amounts of gold and Blizzard probably needs to do another pass. | ||

In the grand scheme I dont spend more time on the AH then I do on Missions. Because you dont generate gold. You get it from other players and some of it gets destroyed in the process (5% fee). That doesnt lead to inflation. The garrison on the other hand flat out prints gold out of nothing, resulting in more gold in circulation and in the end, higher prices. | ||

In the grand scheme I dont spend more time on the AH then I do on Missions. Garrison gold is a problem because it's created ex nihilo, and practically anyone can do it without limit. All AH gold comes from other players, and basic economics puts a strong limit on how many people can become fabulously rich that way. So if tomorrow there were ten times as many players doing what I do with the garrison it wouldn't directly affect me, though it would eventually cause inflation and devalue my gold. Meanwhile, if tomorrow there were ten times as many players buying herbs for the purpose of selling flasks/bags the market would collapse and you'd no longer be making 100k every three weeks in AH sales. That's why garrison gold is a problem. | ||

Don't give them ideas, we don't all get to enjoy 25k time tokens the US does. which is the idea that you need garrison gold to earn a lot of money.You are both correct that for the overall economy Garrison gold is a bad thing. | ||

You are both correct that for the overall economy Garrison gold is a bad thing. Why is inflation bad though? Garrison gold (missions and selling armor upgrades) enabled me to earn more gold than I ever need and buy WoW tokens to the maxiimum. Bascially made the game f2p while having to invest way less time than in "real" f2p games (Hearthstone, LoL etc). What really bugs me though is that you can not put tokens in your bank and also not send it to alts. Now they clog my already crammed bags. In general this game creates way too much crap that you have to carry around. Such a hassle in a game that is otherwise streamlined for convenience. | ||

If the price of tokens can be used as a measure of inflation (which is arguable, but it's probably the best we've got since the value of/demand for tokens should fluctuate far less than any other good sold on the AH) then the rate of inflation in the month leading up to patch 6.2 averaged 23% between the NA, EU and CN regions. With that level of inflation the value of gold could have dropped to half or less of its present value by Christmas. That kind of inflation creates a situation wherein doing anything other than abusing garrisons or playing the AH leaves you poor. As fun as it is to be rich, it's not worth making the game less fun for everyone else. | ||

As fun as it is to be rich, it's not worth making the game less fun for everyone else. In general you can also regard inflation as a catch-up mechanic for new players though. The rich dont stay rich forever, they have to keep making gold if they want to keep being rich and not just sit on it. It also is an incentive to spend gold which should promote trade overall. Also idk why you say small number of players. Small number was true when the main income source was playing the auction house. The garrison is used by the majority of players I am pretty sure. With gradual differences in how much gold everyone makes with it. | ||
