Black lotus removed from Alterac valley

You are blind if you don't consider the bigger picture. This Lotus shit has already planted the seeds for serious fucking issues a year down the road.

The only people who really need flasks are tanks.

This.
Healers might need them the first few times through on progression content.
Casters should never need them unless shit isn't dying fast enough, ie. you suck anyway. Better make sure everybody has a least pre-BiS with enchants...and L2P

where did this change come from? Nobody was even complaining.... The price of lotus is still ridiculously high.

Can we at least get some insight into the reason why this change was made?

[Undertanker]

Why should robo not bring up Naxx? That is the end result. It is something I am very concerned with myself. We will see what the population is at that time and even if it is half of what it is now would be an issue.

For those who say raiding is easy, post that after naxx, it is hard because of the damage and rng that will murder.

Even full T3, the gear isnt good enough and max consumables are needed.

A quick fix would be making a vendor for the lotus at 20 a pop. Still let market dictate mountail and foil.

Despite my criticism, for the record, I also would like an increase to lotus spawns. They're like, twice the cost of black lotus on a "real" (1-3k player) vanilla economy. That's just kind of a bummer since flasks are the coolest consumable.

Not that I think it actually matters in any way outside of that.

wow what a great idea lets make a vendor for arcane crystals and thorium and silversage and dark iron ore and bindings for thunderfury lets put everything in a vendor ok

That's a bad idea. They just need to make sure one spawns per zone every hour in addition to there always being one Lotus up in the world at all times (you pick that Lotus, if there are none up, then one instantly spawns at one of the locations).

[Setup]

Maybe someone will figure out a way to abuse the herbs in zg and the problem will fix itself

[huntards]
