BTW, I keep hearing people divide players into "mythic" and "non-mythic". But there are indeed lots of in betweens as well. For example, some players have one or two mythic items, but that's it. For some reason everyone assumes that players who have mythic items must spend thousands of plat every week and get as many mythic items as they want. While there are a few players who do this, the majority of players who have mythic items did not loot them, but instead purchased them with gold that they farmed for.
In seasons 1-3, there were plenty of ways to farm and make lots of gold. During this period the economy was moving quite well, so merching was also a good way to make money.
For myself, I managed to make all of my money from merching and farming, and I spent it all on a mythic helm, armor & gun, and hammerjaw egg. I kept saving and was able to buy one of these items every month. The last one I bought was Hammerjaw about a month ago. But since then, because of the problems discussed in this thread, I've not been able to save up any more money to get the next item on my list which was the mythic ring. I also don't have a mythic amulet, and it seems as though there is no way for me to save up enough money to get either of those items before the next expansion as there is no way for me to really make money. A month ago I was able to make 100-200k per day merching. Now I am lucky if I can make 10k per day merching. At that rate it would take me 3-4 months to save up enough for a mythic ring. And as for farming, that seems useless all together. I've tried farming, and other than farming jarl for crates, there doesn't seem to be any other farming that is worth my time.
