Hey guys just wanted to hear ur opinion on which server you think is BEST. When i say high pop realm i mean a locked realm and when i mean low pop i mean the recommended realms with the lowest poop. High population realm Advantages : Disadvantages: Low population realm Advantages: Disadvantages: ---------------------- Let me know what u think the pros and cons are and i will add it to this post.
Medium: Advantages: Steady prices, Always more demand than my bot can supply and not too much other farmers AND Goldprices are always on the higher average
Servers really differ too much to be able to categorize them like such. I've seen high-population servers be both really good and really bad. Generally I find many more people botting on them, so you're going to get more competition. I defiantly wouldn't go with low population servers though because the demand simply isn't high enough. Regardless what high prices you can charge, if you aren't pushing product through, then you're going to start having an overflow of excess goods. It might work if you split your time between a handful of low servers, or were pushing out a bunch of different items. You might also find a server where nobody is farming saronite, which means you could gain a decent bit of gold through that. The general rule of thumb that I'm using is to find a server that has a high demand, and a stable economy. From what I've seen, the servers which best fit this are actually medium-population PVP servers.
More players on your realm will result in a higher demand to e.g. Herbs/Minerals, but also to gold , so there will be more farmers. Usually you will still be able selling enough on high populated servers. Low populated servers are not good if there are too many other bots. But if you manage finding one with a monopole of really few players on the Herb/Minerals market, you can really get a lot gold.
Low populated servers also have a generally lower demand in the gold market. I would rather earn 10k and sell it for $2/k on a higher population realm rather than earn 20-30k and only get something like $0.80/k (you need to sell more to get the same profit, which leads to a higher risk, for almost no gain).
Thanks for all ur responses guys. I think the way to go is, Bot on one realm one day, then give it a break, then bot on the other realm. So i am not overloading ah. A few months ago i farmed about 4 bank tabs worth of herbs and i was even trying to get rid of them at only 50% ah value and they just WOULDNT BUDGE !
This is just not true, I am on a low pop server, with 4 decent pve guilds, as in the nr 1 guild is like the nr 1080 guild in the world thats how bad. And simply because of it being a lowpop server me and 1 other guy are the only bots, yet the demand is high enough for both me and him to never have enough to supply. for example 5 people have been chasing this insane title for ages, so I have been selling my herbs for a long long time pretty much the same second I harvest them(you get my point I hope). One thing that is really a disadvantage though, is that no gold site is willing to buy my gold rofl, so all I can hope for is private buyers, friends of friends of guildies of friends for example
on my high pop server all cata ore sells between 9g-19g a stack. herbs are the same way except for heartblossom which sells for 35g a stack. i am farming bc ore now cause it sells for a lot more.
just because you play on a server that does, does not mean that someone else is automatically lieing....
Best is locked especially for Auction House botting, things sell so fast and the prices changed rapidly it's easy to make a profit.
