Raiding is Expensive in Legion: good article

primesuspect

A good read on the costs of raiding this expansion: flasks, potions, and food.

Some interesting discussion points:

• Blizzard's crackdown on gold farmers/bots/hacked accounts have affected the economy by decreasing the number of bots farming mats
• Draenor had an herb garden
• Scarcity, scarcity, scarcity (in terms of Starlight Rose)
• People were a bit spoiled with gold in Draenor and not used to paying for things
• Blizzard intervened in 7.1 with the Blood vendor but it's not having a major effect

Good article, yes. I will say, though, that the 7.1 vendor has been personally quite lucrative for me. I had so many bloods stocked up that I don't imagine I'll be running out of flasks until the Nighthold hits.
