I love Survivor's Bane. I can just log in and only play that instead. 🤣

As f2p, you need to run at least 20 alts to farm lairs to get the power of a mid spender. Same now with market crash as before. Now you farm 60% less plats by selling normal gems but the prices of legendary gems have also dropped more than 50%. It is easier now to upgrade legendary gems provided you run many alts farming lairs. Now with 20 alts, you can farm 60k plats a week and buy 2 to 3 2/5 star legendary gems per week. But very few can do this because it’s like a full time job. So I agree with what you shared in this video. Selling pets with saviour skill at super high prices when they first came out also helped f2p to rank up legendary gems. I sold 3 such pets for more than 1m plats in total at the start. Now such pets can’t even sell at 64k plats due to all whales already got them and the lack of platinum for other players. The best change is dawning echo now can be bought using plats.

[@Seramics]

I cant even max HL on one character. Can i quit my job to do 20 alt on DI?

[@drewtate5409]

But misery hates company says we have a way to farm resonance now with awaken slots. 😂 The guy is just not that bright. Ty man what u say is 100% the truth

[@lovelytruth953]

DI owned the guy and made him their mouthpiece.

[@lovelytruth953]

DI is killing F2P for forcing to stop transfering of platinum by selling at maximum price and then their mouthpiece blaming the market cashed to susan express the one buying ORB and converting this to platinum.

[@kcrh21]

4.7k platinum means we're both dead. Lol

[@Jcs57]

The power gap between whales and plankton is irrelevant the gap on day one was established and continued to grow throughout. There never was a point where this was going to be stabilized or compensated it is literally the business model of the game. If you’re F2P it’s about competing with yourself to see how far you can go how much you can develop your character with the resources available. This is also the comical part of the game, if your spending big bucks to go head to head with other big spenders can you really say your PvP experience was 80 thousand dollars more exciting than 2 F2P guys going head to head? You’re not getting anything extra if the other guy bought it to.😂

[@JediDarkForce]

It's done. 60 leg gems. Using crests in rifts is futile.

[@TenaciousFe]

I have an alt that is constantly being pushed to purchase. The game is really about money. That is fine but they need to try some customer service if that’s the case.

[@Zee0390]

After market become susan market, very hard making plat.. even for buy crest from wb raid That kill f2p like me.. making lazy going farming.

You can be Susan yourself as well by buying 50,000 platinum for 1k USD

[@pocpc1788]

I took advantage of selling pets when it launched, easiest plats maker ever, every pet sells like hotcakes 😂 2/5* gems on my server were 16k-25k plats. Easy gem power 🎉

[@KThuzad]

Susan destroy market, and i hope Blizzard can do somethink with that 😢 It takes too long time

they broke the market so f2p and low spender will not upgrade in the game i use to play between 8to 12 hrs i play 1-2 hrs every 2 day

[@siddgang]

@@cabin_life_karl9561 the market crash has big impact. F2p and low spenders progress has slowed down tremendously.

[@xrisku]

2 years of plat f2p is about 215K platinum. A 5/5 star BSJ costs 640K plat. Even a 2/5 BSJ costs 64K. S0 good luck ranking a BSJ to even 5. And now Blizzard destroyed the market and only blue normal gems still sell for max plat on my server, some servers they are only selling for 100 plat. Good luck with that, too. As for f2p modes like Trial of the Hordes, there are no reforge stones as rewards - and we need THOUSANDS of these because of their rng nature PLUS we can now have a pve and a pvp reforge build - but how to get more of these stones has not changed. You can only get them from the hilts vendor (you will quickly go broke), from reign change (you get a token regorge) and from BG (the primary source). But to get them from BG in any quantity, you need to play their buggy laggy rubberbandy BG for hours a day where you get beat up upon by players with as high as 12K Res. NOT REALLY ENJOYABLE bcz as we all know, the matchmaking sucks. As for other game modes/pvp - let's be honest. Who needs more of those purple cursed gear stones? After you have been playing DI for a couple of weeks, you have more than you can ever use. Bogus reward, so not motivating. Yes, you only get 1 crest/week from the crest vendor from your WB voucher and 1 monthly from the hilts vendor, but they did introduce the Event Centor which gives 1 star gems aka gem power. But let's face it, with such low drop rates, almost all crests = a 1 star gem. So don't forget the like 10 gem power a month you get there. LoL. We also get 120 + 280 Fading Embers per week which are used by most to craft a purple crest (320 FE cost). That's 65 purple crests/year, just slightly more than a crest/week. And then there are the telluric fragments used to craft 1 and 2 stars. These are pretty limited tho by the number of blue crests available - not sure how many we have gotten. We can craft 1 gem power/10 Telluric fragments. Finally, 40 Telluric pearls are used to craft a 2/5 star gem of your choice. They do give more of these now, but I don't know the numbers. The first year, I crafted like 1 2/5 star. Now you can craft one about every 2.5-3 months, give or take. Honestly, this should be a guaranteed monthly craft. At 72 gem copies/rank 10 5 star (ignoring all the thousands of gem power required) and 8 slots PLUS all the inside res gems ----> even at that rate, it's 6 years to accumulate all the copies required for a single rank 10 gem. That's 50 years to rank 10 a 5 star for each gear piece. And ya, we cannot target what gems we want really. So the odds of getting a 5 star gem you want and can use is quite low. Basically I have concluded that not only is Blizz cheap, they also can't math. Not within reason. Awakening gear at r5 plus purchasing a dawning echo with plat (not orbs) is a huge improvement. Probably it is the single most significant improvement for F2P since the game was released. And ALLLLLLL this for resonance without getting into the costs and timeline of secondary gems. We basically need to bequeath our DI account to our children's children's children. It's pretty ridiculous. I stopped spending last september in a 3.2k res account. I now have 3.3K res. So yes, PLATEAU has been reached. And at that point, the game starts to become stale and stagnant. We all want to see some sort of permanent progression. But that doesn't exist really in DI.

[@Jcs57]

Yup hit 3K back in October now just pay $5 for battle pass which I probably bought my last of those also, blizzard isn’t the only one who can go full cheap. They killed the economy inside the game so I’m responding in kind outside the game.

[@kujatorra7318]

Im a zero spender and made 11 mil plat in sales in 7 months. I'm currently working on 4k wings. There is never a good reason to spend in game. I run 5 alts with less than 10 hours play time on them per week.
