Why not save your screenshots and post them next to 4.7 epic tasks, I think that would be great, right now it seems like hyper-speculation…
Heres a giant juicy steak for free. What’s that, you’re vegan? But it sounds epic to me.
TL;DR some people prefer LT rng to epic tasks, i just wanted to give a bizarre example to show that people have different preferences.

The price appears to be fair, one million gold spent on epic tasks gives you roughly the same value as one million gold spent on legendary tasks. Gold income isn’t supposed to increase, why should we suddenly receive 3x the rewards as before, without any extra effort? Likewise, epic task cost won’t be halved while keeping the rewards unchanged, why should we suddenly receive 2x the rewards as before, without any extra effort?

It’s not fair or equal, because they are removing the ability to get mythics as well with LT’s.
And that’s the the keys are for in the first place, to get legendaries & mythics.
The reason I ask about a gold increase is because the tasks will cost 3x more n
And why would you want less rewards for more effort?
Yes… the rewards are roughly the same for LTS in terms of keys etc, plus you get the tokens and deeds that may be of use. Of course the obvious missing component between epic completion and the equivalent gold investment in LTs as things stand is the random high rarity troop drop x30. That’s the equivalent of 120000 diamonds for mythics. That’s a big payout and not seen as economically viable. The devs are using ETS to cap or drastically reduce LTS. They could have just ignored the ‘need’ for LTs and capped LTS. But that would still be a high risk mythic drop possibility. The aim is to end LTS. …simple as.

Then why not just cut LT’s down to 10 max like they did glory & event keys?
Make 13 tasks total, complete any 6 task to 12/12 and unlock the 13th which is LT’s.
The 13th task, legendary tasks can be capped at 12 like other tasks.
This concept can be used for future mythic tasks if those ever come into existance.
If players do the original 6, then its still 15.6mil gold, no change.
If players do the epic 6, then its 31.5mil gold, and that cuts -15 LT’s from what they will get.
This gives the players the option and choice to decide what’s best for them.
Example: You do the first 6 guild tasks for 15.6mil. Then you do the 10 LT’s (maxed), and then go back and do the 6 epic tasks as much as you can.
I think this would encourage players to play more to complete everything, and it cut’s the LT’s.
I’m still not sure why they don’t redistribute the 1500 gems from GW B1 and maybe give another resource but lower gems. I mean, these are GEMS, so I’m not sure why that hasn’t been changed before tasks.

Guild Wars top spot has been cut from 6000 a month to 1500 so not sure cutting even more is the answer.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. You don’t get extra gold just because they added new things to spend your gold on. My boss also doesn’t want to double my wage just because Steam released twice as many games this year compared to last year.
Because legendary tasks are the intended gold sink for excess gold.

Because from a strictly economic point of view they need to know exactly what we get compared to its price.
LT can spread a mythic to 30 players ay the cost of 16.6m, and probably this can’t be accepted by the publishers.
The Gow economy has moved and will move over and over in the direction of limiting high value resources obtainable by only grinding

The aim is to end the 120000 diamond equivalence of an LT mythics drop. Capping LTS and removing epics does not address this huge economic hit. We’ve had it easy too long and the devs are reeling in the whales. It’s that simple.

Woah, does that mean I can turn in a copy of a mythic and get 120000 diamonds? That sounds great! Oh, wait. All I get are souls, which I don’t need. And that is why so many types of “value” in this game is a lie.
No 120000 diamonds is the value of 30 mythics that a single LT could potentially drop. 1 mythic is 4k diamonds as anyone who has crafted one will know. It would be nice if we could scrap excess mythics for diamonds but we both know that will never happen.
False Logic. That assumes that ZERO members of a guild had a copy of that particular mythic. Can it happen? Yes. Extraordinarily rare? Yes.
Of course yes you are right. But if only 2 or 3 profit from a new mythic, it’s still a bigger payout than forge.
