    Once again the devs completely missed the inherent power of the tanks allowing for the canoneer strat to work as well as it does

    If you do the 1 mob at a time chain with maybe thief then the distribution of silver vs gold is roughly even. The canonneer strat just makes gold farming incredibly easy

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    I think honestly that it's more lopsided on the vendor side. There is so much less stuff behind gold and I feel that everything I can have as a goal is firmly locked behind silver... So much silver.

    also just play tank yourself, if you want to be one of the cool kids. Leveling it takes no time, you dont even need gear inside
    Genius. Instead of fixing the problem, we all should move to benefit from the problem.

    The problem is gold farming is just infinitely more boring than silver.
    A funny question of perspectives I guess. I have the literal opposite view. Not that I do enjoy gold farming, I've actually had my fill recently and I barely have 4 phantoms mastered, but at least it felt kinda chill and ten times less excruciating painful than running everywhere on the map non stop and when I could finally stop it was to eat those stupid, lag infested DDR fiestas that CEs are.

    I am honestly in agreement with Alahard, the thing is that gold grinding is basically dungeon pulls, but kinda spicy and also even shorter, while CEs are incredibly fun fights to me, sure they lag a tad, it's something I wish that would get fixed without me needing to upgrade my computer that runs the rest of the game just fine because it is very much a player count issue, but that doesn't impede my enjoyment of them, they hit a specific spot of "just fast enough" and "just deadly enough" to feel thrilling, even if by now I could do most of them blindfolded.

    You have no idea the smile that I got on my face when I got into my first CE and was able to go "...wait, that killed me... so easily too...".
