Hunters can solo so much shit to farm gold; it'd be easier to just remove hunters from the game instead of "nerfing" all of the things they can solo.Nain wrote:I don't believe many preventative measures aimed to stem gold farming have really been made by the Nostalrius developers, but there's no reason to feel bitter if there are any steps taken to reduce or eliminate certain methods of generating income.
Blizzard's developers made changes during the course of the game, ranging from randomizing or removing certain chests, and removing drops. If the developers of Warcraft during the Vanilla era were as keen on the topic of gold farming as we are now, a lot of these options wouldn't exist in their current form.
But the thing is, this is a vanilla server. It's supposed to be like vanilla, not vanilla + modern changes. For the server to be truly "blizzlike", things like this have to remain intact. When the admins start implementing non-blizzlike scripts to break things that were blizzlike in vanilla, that's kinda bad.
Fixing serious bugs and exploits, yeah, that's fine. But DM N soloing did not involve any bugs or exploits. Just clever use of ingame mechanics. Even Blizzard didn't "fix" it the same way nost did, they just changed it in 1.9, making it so that you can't solo pull the king anymore. You could still solo it, it was just harder to do.
I keep hearing blizzlike content, while seeing bugs reported before I even started playing on this server (less than a month into release) still untouched today. This server isn't blizzlike, that much has been obvious for a while. It's nostlike, deal with it.
Also, by definition blizzlike is not perma vanilla. If it were perma vanilla then blizzlike would be patching all widespread exploits. I don't see the problem either way.
