Hello Buddys, I want to have here a open discussion about the impact of the Banned accounts that pump resources of all kind into the wow realm economy's.
With or without bots, the resources are plenty with the garrisons. Actually the most botters grind for either pure gold or epics. Almost none bot for pure resources - ore, herb (maybe leather and fur are still farmed)
Not any noticable difference on any of the realms I'm playing on (3). Maybe a few K more or less, but nothing that couldn't be natural variations. This could be due to many things. HB users already spent their gold to buy tokens at the point of suspension, and it was less than a month from tokens -> ban time. Another (pure speculation) is that Blizzard manipulates the prices and print gold if needed, if tokens goes too low to keep people happy and stop them from buying gold elsewhere. What however is very noticable, is resource prices. On two realms they 3-5 doubled overnight and ore/herbs is sold in stacks of 20 at 6g/ore, up from the usual 1-1.5g range and always stacks of 200.
Do you just spam post in order to get your post count up? Every single solitary post I've read since d day you have posted in - often irrelevant or less relevant stuff than the original post. What is his goal? World peace of course What does he hope to accomplish? Obviously to aid in the increasing of your post count. To the OP. I was WONDERING (read: curiosity) the same thing. As much as the deviant in me hoped it would be a dramatic and detrimental change, most of us have no way of knowing considering we can no longer login. based on the comically small sample size via the people willing or able to answer - it's probably negligible on most of the bigger servers. I don't doubt some of the smaller realms that were barely afloat as it is and likely so due to a few niche botters, show a much more noticeable difference.
