Only problem being, these raid groups were lagging the hell out of zones, so Blizzard has seemingly had to put the kibosh on them.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/news\/abundance-is-no-longer-abundant-problems-with-end-game-crafting-currency-380793\" target=\"_blank\">WoWHead<\/a>, but with seemingly no mention of it in <a href=\"https:\/\/us.forums.blizzard.com\/en\/wow\/t\/world-of-warcraft-midnight-hotfixes-march-13\/2260898\" target=\"_blank\">the game&#8217;s hotfixes for this week<\/a>, raid groups aren&#8217;t able to split their abundance anymore. Here&#8217;s a thread on the WoWEconomy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/woweconomy\/comments\/1rtqx7u\/abundance_nerfed\/\" target=\"_blank\">subreddit spotting the same changes<\/a>: &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get to 900 on any of my runs regardless [of] the number of players in a group. [Early Access] players are already on purple tools and I&#8217;m getting pushed back another week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of the issue, too\u2014you can only do eight of these things per week, which means that players who got in on the early access are now already ahead, and\u2014in a decidedly Shadowlandsian, downright <em>Torghast-esque<\/em> move\u2014implicitly encourage you to plug in eight runs a week or fall behind. <\/p>\n<p>Which, if you care about min\/maxing, all need you to sweat harder to hit that 900 unalloyed abundance cap as of this latest change\u2014though there&#8217;s a small chance it could be unintentional.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/wow\/comments\/1ru6dav\/why_nerf_abundance\/\" target=\"_blank\">r\/wow subreddit<\/a>, with user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Swaydonym\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swaydonym<\/a> understandably griping: &#8220;You can hardly get orbs now, and getting 300 unalloyed abundance instead of 600-900 each run feels like I&#8217;m drinking moldy dog water. It was even more fun with groups of people! Running around like a little Pac-Man eating up hundreds of Abundance with other players while Dundun yelled every two seconds felt so silly and was dumb fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a tricky one and, like a lot of problems Blizzard has had recently, all to do with how rewards are distributed\u2014making Abundance events absurd, silly fun right into the issue of it providing vital progression for an entire slice of the game. <\/p>\n<p>To me, it feels like a fatal assumption&#8217;s been made that profession-based players aren&#8217;t hardcore about it, or wouldn&#8217;t want to optimise the event itself.
