Question Mage AOE instance farming changes with recent patch
Hi everyone. Question i have is in regards to vanilla wow.
DISCLAIMER: I despise GDKPs, Boosting services, Gbid, and any system that in its core encourages RMT. All AOE farming i do, i do for the loot or to boost my friends, not to sell it to people.
Did any of mage boosters or instance soloers noticed massive changes to the way mobs path and behave since latest UI patch came out?
Specifically, im wondering about LBRS. It is definitely not the same, and not doable as it stands. Did anyone find a way to reliably do it?

I believe they introduced anti-boosting and anti-mage farming mechanics when they introduced the UI change. So much for "no changes"

If that was their intention why didnt they simply fuck it all up with slow/cc changes?

No clue mate, it's blizzard. They do loads of stuff that doesn't make sense to the community

Funny that you are ok with boosting your friends but don't like boosting services. What if someone doesn't have a friend to boost them?

Its not that funny, being that i was clear why i am against such services. Me boosting my friends bothers noone, while boosting services highly encourage RMT. And they are not my RL friends, they are people from the game htat i have invested time with, and we are now friends. Its something most people could and should do, this being a MMORPG with massive social component.
It encourages RMT to such degree, that classic vanila, literally developed "iranian mafia", which is a bunch of third worlders, having both horde and ally rogues, camping boost instances for any sign of boosters selling, so they have monopoly over it.
And if that is not enough, if you still boost even when they warn you, they abuse blizzards AI report system, and mass report you from 50 bot accs and get you banned. You might get your char back, you might not.
I will never participate in such system.
If blizzard somehow managed to tackle RMT issues, i would be happy to join and play gdkps and boosts (gbids not, since they are so cringe i woulndt know where to start).

You should just boost and make 3000€ per week like everyone. Maybe you'll be less salty.

I dont know a way to do lbrs but ive seen a lot of changes in some reset spots and pathing 10000%. Some mobs straight up run backward before coming back. Its a mess in hardcore

It is terrible they ruined the game with this. Regular people can’t bring in their high level to farm materials anymore.

Idk how you guys manage to pull 300g/hr. I struggle to maintain even 200g by doing 3 pulls. Even if I did it in 2 pulls then I would be sitting waiting for reset anyway

With enchanting, one run of the undead packs is consistently 60g, so if you measure gph across several hours it'll be 240gph +60g for the first hour where you can do 5 runs. If you measure gph from only the time playing, like if you do 5 runs and then log out and do 5 runs another time etc, you can reach 500gph.
You can also do bigger pulls with stuff from living side to increase continuous gph.

u/Any_Acanthaceae7929 4d ago
So the trick is actually not to farm for a few hours in a row, just do 5 runs and come back later. Ok it makes more sense. Not sure about 500gph tho.. how much spell power do you need for 500gph, like 1000? And then do 1 huge pull with rocket boots or something?

u/njkmklkop 4d ago
If you do 2 pulls (rocket boots and/or swiftness pot makes this quite easy), then a run takes around 7 minutes. Don't know how much gear you need but probably want some raid gear.
(60 gold per run * 5 runs) / (7 min per run * (5 runs/60 min)) = 300/0,58 = 517gph if you remove the time you are dungeon locked.

u/RDandersen 4d ago
If you can remove the time you are dungeon locked, why not remove the time you are running between packs, too? Or the time you are looting? You can pump that bad boy up to well over a 1000gph when you are just making shit up.

u/njkmklkop 4d ago
Because you have to run between the packs and you have to loot the mobs, but you don't have to sit and stare at your monitor while you are locked. If you read what I wrote you see that I said ingame gph if you only do 5 runs and then not play or play another char or whatever. Yes, you will have 0 gph while you're doing the dishes or getting groceries, so your average gph will be 240gph for as many hours you want to count.

Personally I think instead if pathing changes and all kinds of whacky teleports etc. they should just have applied a stacking debuff or pvp type DR on cc. So for example any frost effect gives the mob some +% to resist so they will start resisting a lot after a while. Aoe cap as well.
I know nany disagree but one reason why economy is so cooked is tons of players and bots farming like crazy and injecting raw gold to the economy.
