In World of Warcraft, the new patch 6.2 has quietly adjusted the gears that determine the players’ gold income. Especially the scrapyard is becoming less relevant, and second characters are also generating less money.
Twinks are paid less
Many players have leveled several characters to level 100 in recent months and equipped them with a garrison, aiming to cash in significantly alongside a level 3 inn. Various follower missions provided between 500 and 1000 gold pieces, often multiple times a week with a variety of characters. This inflation has now reached an end by reducing the gold income from the follower missions of the twinks.
The scrapyard is in shambles
Another nerf has struck the scrapyard. According to Community Manager Bashiok, “every garrison had a scrapyard if done right.” The rewards were simply too good to pass up. After the changes, not every level 100 follower mission provides a reward bag, and the value of the items received from the scrapyard has been drastically reduced. Some players are particularly angry about this change, as patch notes promised that the value of gray items should remain the same. This has now proven to be a lie, presumably to prevent further “abuse” of the wealth-generating mechanic.
The gold increase has been massively restricted, which in turn will affect the purchase of WoW Tokens. Gold farmers will now likely be looking for new methods of profit.
