Q u o t e:

Hmmm, I have a lot of friends that I play with on my server, and I mean RL friends, not those fake e-friends, and when they're like, "hey buddy, you want to come help me farm primals, it'll be all sorts of fun!", I generally say, "#!@% you and farm your own #!@%ing primals, I'd rather pull out my finger nails with pliers than spend my night farming primals for you".



alot of my friends are up for world pvp, and farming which makes money ;)

On Crushridge?

Right now there's almost a full page of Primal Air for 23-25g.

75g seems pretty extreme. There's a decent amount of elementals dropping air motes so I would be surprised to see them rise that high, unless someone's trying to corner it. We have made adjustments to either increase or decrease mote drops to help keep them within the rarity and price range we want them, and it's certainly possible we could continue to do that should additional adjustments be needed.

Overall though we're happy with the mote/primal system, it works pretty well, and aside from the issues I stated of their rarity being unbalanced in some cases, we plan to continue with it.

Sometimes you gotta grab life by the lips and YANK as hard as you can.

lol pwnd

the tank shortage is a myth. warriors are the #2 most played class in the game. the problem is most tanks refuse to PUG. reason is a shortage of competent DPS that know how to control themself

If Primals dropped instead of motes it would take 5,000 mobs per Primal. UGH. No thanks.

Is there any plan to change the need to farm elementals for high end crafting come WotLK? I mean, Its an ok system and all, but having so much of high end crafting be dependent on farming limited areas of contested mobs is kind of a pain, especially since primals are needed in such vast quantities for certain professions (Helping a friend powerlevel blacksmithing this week, so expensive : ( ) Wouldn't it be better to make things require more player made items, to give people more ways to make money, and encourage trade, and emphasize trade skills over endless grinding?

I won't be impressed with the age of technology until they invent a way to punch someone in the mouth over the internet.

On Dalvengyr we have Primal Air in the AH for 17-19g. But our server has a LOT of farmers

Haxx

So what you're sayin is the reason I have to spend like 50 hours to farm 1 primal air is that you have a team of dedicated anti freelance farmer <GM>s monitoring the Elementals to make sure they don't drop more than 1 mote an hour to specifically deprive me of the satisfaction of farming my own mats and instead have to go buy them off the AH (clearly all of those auctions have been posted by Blizz employees CMs etc to line their own pockets with my gold)... for shame sir, 4 /shame. I am disappointed to hear that you would go to such lengths such as directly modifying mote drop rates to monopolize the Primal market for your own gains.



Oh and fyi I farmed the primals for all 3 pieces of my Netherstrike... ya that's right your dirty little operation didn't get any of my hard farmed gold!





;)

Every time you open your mouth I can smell that you don't know what you're talkin' about.

So you guys do mess with the drop rates? Wasn't there a topic asking about that the other week with a blue response that said they never touch it? Weird

Personally I'd like to see the mote system removed because that's simply an extra 6 slots of inventory space being taking up on one char or another.
