EME, you have completely messed up with gold values on vanguard rewards.
So i came back to the game after 3-4 weeks of a break... and i find out that gold values for 412 dungeons have been decimated... why?
No, like actually... what is the reason? THERE IS NO REASON... getting from twistshard to frostmetal was already slow enough... and dailies with 439+ilvl dungeons take way too long. actually completing all dailies and having it be quick now takes 4-5 hours... because we have to not even run 412 even once because its not worth it at all... before , i used to do 4rg/kc , 4x 431s and 2 times 439s + few solo dailies and full 40 runs of guardian legions.. now 412s arent worth doing, there isnt enough runs of 431s if you are not elite, and 439s queue takes too long to be able to do 10 of them a day... and boom.. there goes the deflation of gold value... gold sinks stayed same while gold income literally halved.
please either revert the gold value to how it was, or adjust gold vanguard quest of 412 dungeons to at least 75% of what it used to be. Gold is so hard to make now unless you play 5+ hours a day.

exactly... now how do i get geared alts if its gonna take ages since i got no gold for literally anything?
Do ghillie, and guardians and some iod. Bam tons of money.
412s shouldn't be rewarding and for a gold player the new pre apex quests help a ton with gearing. I do believe 431s should have kept their original gold value though, because at mid tier twist and above is when you start needin a bit of gold
as a berserker with +5 sc , guardian legions take me 35-45 minutes., 412s should still be rewarding enough so there is actually a reason for higher geared people to do it at least 2-4 times a day... , the gold values for 439s and higher are fine.. 431s still need to be increased by like 20% , and 412 need to be tripled to actually be worth the time.
by that logic, if im supposed to do 439+ dungeons all the time, permanently.. they should increase the gold reward even more... exponentially even.
right now i see no way for me to progress alts at all..
my main geared character is 443 ilvl, and gold he gets is barely even worth the time compared to before..
Like.. by all means.. make me do the harder content as much as you want, but dont screw with gold per hour.
People wanted more rewards for harder content, EME (I believe) gave them that, although in an unexpected fashion with mixed responses. I don't remember when the discussion took place, but if you didn't voice your concerns when the thread took place, then you can't really complain cause you weren't there to refute it.
Imo anyway guardians were the intended way to get gold, and dungeons the way to get Item XP and enchanting/ upgrading materials, not as much gold. It is sad that they did let this change to the lower dungeons go through, but now there's more frequent queues for higher tier dungeons, even dungeons that never popped for me, such as TRHM and LKHM pop so much more often because they're slowly becoming the new mid tier gold/ material farming dungeons. You'll still get stormcrys doing lows and mids, but it's more likely you'll find people with the gear level expected of that dungeon. It's mostly personal preference, you like the dungeon/ its ease, then you can farm lows on all your alts, othewise gear up one or two alts to do higher level content..
> I have a question: it sounds like instead of buffing upper-level loot drops, they nerfed lower-level drops instead. Is that right?
No, they gave a pretty substantial gold buff to upper level content.
Mind relaying some numbers? I'm unable to check myself at the moment.
