the problem is now, with low pop realm pools you will still have a lot of competition when farming and its harder to sell on servers. In other words you have relatively more farmers, and less buyers.
And because the player amount is the same now you still have the same chance of getting reported on low pop servers. In other words, lowpop servers = poop. But then again if everyone rushes to highpop servers it will drop the gold prices
I just checked and it seems like only specific realms are CRZ'd, not all lowpop realms. Also I figured a trick you can use to escape overwhelmed or realms with your own bots but it's not that effective if you have like a lot of accounts.
Hmmm, so what is considered lowpop and highpop realm? When I look at realms like Kazzak EU it has like 550k players and Outland has 800k, but the realm I'm on is connected with another realm and together they have about 200k. Am I on a lowpop realm?
Yes, thats low-medium pop id say. Its not a major disadvantage, but I probably wouldnt choose outland or kazzak either. I know many players who use my profiles there. Outland and Kazzak are super high pop. 300k RP, PVE or Normal is my ideal when it comes to server choice. realmpop.com is great for identifying ideal server conditions.
Is the disadvantage having harder time getting bulk buyers? I don't seem to have any problems selling herbs on the AH. The advantage is, well, not many people bot with me.
Yep, but realms like Kazzak have crazy demand on gold anytime. Its full of Arabic players, who love to buy gold!
Actually, so it might be more worth getting 9.999.999g on a low pop realm where it's low chance of getting caught, then transferring to a high pop realm with higher prices and more demand and sell there? If I look at Outland, the price is 0.001 higher than the realm I'm on. So, for 9.999.999g, if I sell it for 0.001 more, I could earn $100 more than on a lowpop realm (-$20 for the transfer). Is there a limit on how much gold you can transfer with your character?
Do combat the new CRZ issue, i have my bots set up to switch between different routes. So depending on how much fjarn they have they will run a different hotspot sequence. Its a bitch having to load 12 different profiles, so this was necessary for me.
so i guess ppl saying that they made bank by transfering to highpop were bullshitting? I think they farmed the shit out of mats on low pop and then went onto high pop for selling them more easily.
