Reduction in gold from Ao3. Too drastic?

[Ellyidol]

Hi guys.

So as we all know gold from Ao3 trash mobs have been reduced, A LOT.

I usually was able to do 10k with liquidations in the Keeper map, clearing with my mage without aliens.

I just did a few now to confirm, and it only ranged from 3-4k with liquidations.

I agree with the reduction since 10k+ was a bit too much, but do you guys agree that this reduction was also a bit too much?

I was happy with the old gold since during group runs and such, even when using 1-2 elixirs you would usually be able to break-even. Gave me a good and positive perception of farming bosses despite clearing since I wouldn't be making a loss anyway and just a bit of gold made.

Also, its just really funny how the ao2 mynas map just gives way more gold versus the ao3 maps now. This used to be the case originally, but after they increased the gold from ao3, it actually made sense if you could do ao3.

I don't know with you guys, but personally if I got bored of farming rares I usually liked to solo gold farming, but now with the reduction I'm just meh on farming for gold and log off.
