[H]-LBRS Gem Farm Run Needing players 12:00am eastern!

Recommended Posts

I need players that are willing to farm for a good amount time. 
Tank and healer are Primary needed in this.

Reason i'm doing this 

People are trying to charge 10g -15g for nothing.
If i get key i will do it for 5g and nearly 20/7 I will leave discord and have people be able to msg me and wake me up to open the dungeon.
I will charge 2g per if you want just a reset to run it again!

If you start undercutting the keyservice by 50% that will piss off a lot of people ;)

The reason it costs that much is because its a huge investment to get, and because nobody like doing 725835 LBRS runs.

But of course you are allowed to charge what you want, and Im sure groups will love you for it.

As someone who has a UBRS key, and as someone who has spammed almost nothing but LBRS once 60 to get the key. I can tell you that your claims are very bold indeed. 

Of course you are free to charge whatever you want, but 10g or 1g per person has always been the standard rate, and is agreed to be fair across multiple servers. If you start charging less than that, it will just cause disruption between the buyers and sellers. Say you charge 5g, then buyers will want 5g price from every other Key provider. In the end it will just mean that groups will spend longer waiting outside UBRS. Despite what you say it will be very unlikely that you will be available to service everyone across all time zones, the server is international so you will have demand 24 hours. 

Part of me thinks that you are ok with making these claims because you have yet to farm the key. LBRS is a lengthy instance where there is a lot of annoying trash. Tanks and healers have little motivation to do the instance aside for the key, there is no prebis tank loot from the instance other than a crossbow, from a boss not to far in. It is far more effective for tanks and healers to do other instances such as BRD.  If you intend to farm till all of you have a key, then good luck you will be investing a huge amount of time into the process. 

Right now, unless you have a guild that wants to invest time into you, or you have a premade group of friends who wish to help you out. Its a right pain to get that key quest done.  Maybe once you have a key, you will re-evaluate what the fair price is. 

Also note, by no means am I discouraging you with this post; If you wish to farm it, then go for it. Everyone should do what they want. I am just outlining the potential reality of what you are stating. Who knows thou? maybe you'll get it first try and this post may be in vain.

P.S. Some puke comes to my mouth when someone mentions LBRS.

They wouldn't spend longer as i said i would be opening it nearly 24/7 we are already behind the alliance  its way to early to charge these fee's when our players are behind. Dont get me wrong i understand what you mean but i rather help community be geared then ask for gold from them for us already being behind i find it illogical but thats my opinion. Also If horde had more then 130-200 60s lol maybe i wouldn't be trying to do this cause then 10g would be find but we lack players high levels with gear and that just succumbs them more..

Your statement is a deviant to what I have stated. Yes the horde have less level 60's than the alliance. There are quite a few reasons for this. While I see your point of going for a communal good approach. A few points you have not taken into consideration.

The alliance have more 60's primarily because most hardcore guilds decided to role alliance. The ones that rolled horde, are not to stressed about MC firsts as it is a very myopic view. The horde have been slower to reach 60 because, of overcrowding and lack of options when it comes to levelling and quest hubs. My experience of levelling to 60, in less than 2 weeks meant that I had to grind from 20-30; as quests were impossible to do due to tag stealing and spawn times. 20-30 

The other point is that right now as people are not geared, mechanics in places such as UBRS matter, dispelling flame buffets for example. You can later steamroll this with gear. Due to circumstance, all the 60's that are organised are playing in guild groups; they don't bother to pug. This is from the PoV of someone who has both pugged UBRS and been in guild groups. 

Most guilds have dedicated key holders for these things. Atleast 1 if not 2-3 will have UBRS key. I know few from other guilds who have it as well. Pugs atleast last week for UBRS were a rare occurrence. Hence why people do charge slightly more because demand is very low. So low in fact that I have not seen anyone looking for key service yet (last week).

What I don't understand is why you believe the standard fare is too much? 1g from everyone in the run is actually very small, you make a good chunk of gold while levelling even if you bought your 40 mount. Once you enter its very easy to make 5-7g from UBRS trash drops alone per person. 

Anyway once you get a key you may re-evaluate the value of key service. Getting the key after all is a painstaking process in my opinion.

When you've done 30 or so more FULL runs to get it you'll understand exactly why asking 1g per person who did literally nothing to help get the key but want their super mega cool phat lewts pre MC/Ony isn't too much. But hey, what do I know, I only had to run the instance like 50 times to get it. Fuck me for wanting it to be less than worth my while going to UBRS to open it for the total benefit others, right? :)
