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. I say small number of players because I'm not talking about every single player with a garrison, but about players who have min/max'd the garrison across multiple characters in order to get ridiculous amounts of gold. The majority of players haven't optimized a single garrison, let alone a dozen, and the difference optimization makes is huge (one order of magnitude in fact, and another for doing it across 11 characters). That's why "inflation as a catchup mechanism" doesn't work in this case. Inflation wasn't being driven by all players having garrisons, but by the small subset of players who abused Blizzard's short-sighted design. Rather than catching them up, this inflation would have left the majority of players behind. | ||

I got my 200k across 2 characters. I dread to think of those who played 5x as many characters for nearly twice as long - there's no way garrison should have been allowed to stand as it did for many-character farming for 1 month, let alone like 5-6 | ||

Each with 2 followers with the gold trait, 1 with scavenger. And yet I got enough gold from it to buy 12 wow tokens, have enough materials for raids and still have like 200k spare that I dont know what to do with. No additional farming whatsoever. Guess I simpy dont spend my gold for mounts or whatever, idk. | ||

How to you handle everbloom timer? Seems to take us too long to 4-man it (doing 1 pull at entrance, 1 extended pull before first boss, skip to mage, clear trash then last 4 bosses) | ||

 Never try to get away with 85% chance without unsinkable I guess. | ||

I don't do 200k gold. I'm at something like 40K a month. | ||

As a result there's very little value in trying to min/max the shipyard. It costs 500 GR to make a ship unsinkable or fine tune a counter, but it only costs 25-50 GR to build a new ship and 5000 experience (2-3 non-exp missions) to go from normal to uncommon (which is just as strong as an unsinkable epic). Given that you can pretty readily get 70%+ odds on missions just by throwing the right ship types at them, it's actually cheaper just to YOLO and rush order replacements than it is to bother with equipment. In short, the shipyard has some neat ideas but in the end it's really poorly designed and outside of cache/legendary missions it offers very little. | ||

So we are long away from the 200K then. My horde DK got 120k in like 3 months, starting from ~3-4 treasure hunters and doing nothing but treasure missions and opening the garrison mission boxes (only got mats and a few items worth like 8k each) the people doing it since launch day on 11 or even on 5-8 characters are long since millionaires | ||

For my part I only measure mission gold and gains from vendoring salvage. Anything involving the AH, invasions, or daily quests is another category, even though it tangentially related to the garrison.

Barring further nerfs I expect to have another 3 million or so earned before the next expansion, but either way I'm in "I got mine" territory. | ||
