Hello Kronos, I researched forums prior to posting this, sorry if it's a duplicate anyway.
The vein spawns cannot be real. During 1 hour run in Blasted Lands, I collected 79 Mithril Ore, 48 Thorium Ore, 36 Truesilver Ore. During my afternoon questing in Eastern Plaguelands, I collected 57 Gold Ore. I used to farm Mithril in Arathi Highlands, where there's Iron by the northern border and Mithril to the south. I regularly find Truesilver, one of the rarest ores in the world, randomly scattered everywhere, sometimes even multiple veins next to each other. So here's the issues I have identified:
- Gold is everywhere, even in end game areas. I had 4 veins of gold few yard of each other in E. Plaguelands.
- Truesilver is everywhere, it's supposed to be very hard to find, I remember leveling Vanilla and I was lucky to collect 5 ores through entire leveling period in Stranglethorn Vale. That's how rare they were.
- Badlands was where I always went to farm Mithril on Vanilla, because there was multiple veins that I knew would spawn there. There is none on Kronos in Badlands, except for Truesilver of course. It's everywhere.
- I have screenshots of Blasted Lands veins, three veins one right next to each other, I mean like 1 foot away with multiple other veins lit on my minimap, I mined them and few minutes later, some of them were back already.
The result of this is bent economy. Mithril sells for 5 golds and more if someone buys out the stock and puts it back for 8. Thorium is cheaper than Mithril. Truesilver is so common, it's actually better to vendor it. It's over 1g deposit to put stack of Truesilver on AH, where the average price is 2.8G BO, while vendor price for stack is 2.5G. You can tell there's people that didn't realize they're losing money on putting Truesilver on AH for those prices, I used to buy Truesilver off of AH for under 2G and sold them to vendor for 2.5G.
So, does anyone else think this isn't Vanilla experience? I only played Vanilla and TBC, I don't know how rules have changed later, but this is really easy - the Armorsmith questline took a month on official, I had it done in 2 days here.
