RIP to anyone playing on 1x servers that get hit by this. I've longed quit Medivh for a few months now. But this plus the community staff not addressing the population issue falling just flat out tells you what they care about (their p2w servers with increased rates). Then when those servers have issues with gold sellers they just cut your gold by 50% with no actual fix to back it up and screw over the little guys (the 1x servers). "Lets cut gold by 50% but not actually implement any fix so it won't happen in the future."
Farming 5k gold for epic flying just became extremely harder then it already is to farm 5kg for TBC.
Note: I have/did play on Blackrock when it was arena-tournament and i donated to the old team for all gear on all classes (it got grandfathered when they merged). And that's the only money I ever spent on private servers.
