Gold situation

The point of this thread is that it would be nice for those of us busy with real life (aka no time for arena), if there were some event, like gold realms, that came around more often. It would help players who are usually quite frugal with their gold supply due to a gold shortage and allow them to rank up some champs that they maybe haven't due to trying to preserve gold for better champs.
I don’t see how anyone could argue against gold quests. I agree with gold not being a problem if you play arena. Gold isn’t a problem if you manage it better either. Everyone isn’t fortunate enough to sit at home all day and play, play all day while at work, or ignore family grinding arena and they’re ok with it.
You are going against yourself on this. You don't have time for arena but you have time to run extra quests that would take roughly the same amount of time. I don't understand this point of view. "I don't have time for arena but give me an extra quest to do because i have time for that". How does that make sense?
Sometimes I wonder if people play this game to have fun. I'm cool with not being able to max out a champ if you don't grind, getting high tier catalysts should be a grind, not gold.
My gold situation isn't bad enough that I would prefer to skip 5* shards for gold.
That's currently the reason my gold situation isn't so dire... I haven't pulled a good champ in ages
Of course you skirt the question. Why would want to defend your contradicting statements in the first place just to come back and say you don't have a gold problem. And people call me a troll.
Well some of us dont want to spend all day in arena cos we actually have a life
Dont need all day. That point has been made several times through out this thread.
First off no question was skirted... I will always take 5* shards over gold, because if I don't have good champs there's no use for gold. And there's your answer, I choose to use my time to get shards because they are more valuable.
Second, the reason I commented on this thread is because all I see here is people trying to tell others how to play the game. I currently don't have an extreme shortage of gold but I have in the recent past which is why I completely understand where the OP is coming from. I think it's ridiculous that people feel the need to come on here and tell those with gold shortage to spend an extra hour each day in arena. If someone posts on the forum about gold shortage it is logical to assume that they are not stupid and that they do not have extra time for arena.
Whether people want to admit it or not, arena is not structured so that all people can play it. Arena is mind numbing and a huge time commitment. So when someone posts on the forum don't go insult them by telling them to spend more time in the game. It is not a problem for someone to want an easier way to get gold. Frankly I don't understand why there are so many people who don't want an easier way to get gold. It doesn't harm anyone surely? Unless of course you guys prefer to see other people struggle in the game?
Again I am not in dire need of gold because I am very picky about who I rank, I am just defending a fellow summoner who is having issues that I completely understand. I don't understand why people on the forums are so critical. It's like you guys just hunt for threads where you can tell people they're wrong.
All this word salad and you still didnt address the contradiction you made. You said "That's fine like I said, I know my limitations, I can spend time completing EQ and special events, but I cannot justify spending extra time in arena.".
Here is the contradiction- you dont have time for any arena, but would have time for an extra quest? Please explain how 1 hr in arena is too time consuming but spending time completing 4 difficuties on a gold quest is any less time consuming? It still adds to what you are normally doing or stated you are doing. If you don't have time for arena, you dont have time for a gold quest either.
The difference is that 1 hour in arena is not comparable to 1 hour in a gold quest. In the past when I have played gold quests I have actually only been able to complete the top two difficulties and not all of them. And when they ran every 7 hours I missed many of them because I was busy in real life. So when it comes down to it, I only spent maybe 20 minutes in the gold quests to get a large chunk of gold whereas I would spend an hour in arena to get a much smaller chunk of gold.
This is like saying the tv remote is 5 feet away. Instead of getting up to go get it, give me an extension pole with a grabber so i don't have to get up.
I support 100% arena grinders getting a leg up over those who don't have time or just can't stomach arena. However, I do not support one of the vital resources in the game being "exclusive" to arena. I put quotes because I realize it is not exclusively available in arenas. Arena is the only place that it is available in large quantities though. There may not be a gold shortage for arena grinders, but there is a gold shortage for those not grinding arenas. Again I support arena grinders having an advantage over those who can't or won't grind, but not on the scale that we currently see it and most definitely not with such a vital resource as gold.
If You only have an hour to play a day then you arent ever going to be at a point where you need gold anyway.
