The World of Warcraft Nostalgia Discovery Season recently launched the third phase of the event "Nightmare Invasion", but this event has been criticized by many players.
Soon after the event went live, some players discovered that Nightmare Invasion was able to generate significant gold income. Completing a task can earn 5 gold coins, so a reddit user named "real_klinkz" said: "A 5-person squad that completes 10 missions can earn 40 to 60 gold every 20 minutes or so." ”
In the face of inflation, Blizzard officials quickly made changes, but Josh Greenfield, senior producer of World of Warcraft Nostalgia, later tweeted that "Nightmare Invasion" is still profitable even after the modification, and "we have to solve some mathematical problems". At the same time, he reassured players that while the current results are "frustrating, everything will be fine in the long run".
Those who didn't enjoy the "Gold Bonus" at the beginning naturally felt that they missed the opportunity to "make a fortune", and the effects of too many gold rewards at the beginning of the event were just beginning to appear. You must know that the auction house in the game has the most intuitive response to inflation, and some players said that they saw "goblin behavior" and witnessed other players buy all the artifacts in the auction house and sell them at 3 times the previous price.
Reddit user "Manorak87" said that players can farm experience in teams of 5 and repeat the event in 6 to 8 hours, so players become more and more repetitive to repeat the 50 level "Nightmare Invasion", so players become more and more repetitive.
