Same people, same 600% + gold awakenings, same gold rain...maybe a bit less than hydra and almost similar time taken to run it. So what has changed? OP says he/she has 660% GL, making up to 800k in an hour or so, even easy to do with randoms but just takes a few extra minutes.
Hydra was pure hell with randoms, taking forever to kill, with their 6k hp, 800 dmg and using hisha AA even on heads and tails...
Those 30 secs parties ppl kept whining about, needed OP team with OP gear and very high stats. Very few could actually afford it. The ones who made 2m or so gold/ hr there were people with very high GL buff.
So why does ESG continue to make people rich this way but not hydra? Why does nobody complain about ESG? Because all those humans with their “greedy nature” equally benefit from it. It is ridiculously easy to run even with bad stats, no need to switch sets at boss and no need to have a separate pricey set with bonus to kill the boss fast.
It is not affecting the business of merchants like our friend azerothraven, he doesn’t need to buy a pricey artifact to survive better here. No need to complain about gear getting too pricey for ESG or about losing millions. He and I are friends BTW, in case someone starts whining I am “bullying” him on forums.
The problem was not the map, all the mages were happy there with their dragon and balanced staff. I know they preferred hydra over infested because orrick took some time and skill to kill. Trouble started when those weapons got fixed and hydra then suited rogue playstyle more.
Mages can still make gold in mausoleum easily, just like before, with their strength builds and 600% + GL. Rogues need good stats their too. Everyone with insane gold loot still has the option to run ESG, class doesn’t matter.
The problem is not some particular map, but all those gold awakenings that keep getting added to gear and the general laziness caused by that. People want instant 100% rewards now, they don’t want to put any effort or gold into farming for a chance to loot or craft something good.
We should be given the option to loot gold from new maps at 71, but not in a way that it suits only one particular class and not only those with gold loot sets and high gold loot buffs. It should actually require time, effort, skill and good gear.
Good luck to whoever decides to read this novel LOL.
