Making golems tradable was a mistake.

Yup, another one of those threads.

It’s all in the title.

The nightly 30-50 golems rushes employed by zerg servers is making upgrading and defending utterly pointless, all for the bargain price of a few gold… and now that gold is so much easier to make, it gets worse.

Full T3 keeps drop in less than a minute, with defenders, with defensive siege.

Devon – this can’t be intentional, surely? Please tell me this is an oversight and will be addressed?

well im sure the patch after the 20th is gonna be the new golemmastery.XD i see the disaster already happening

Shows what you know. The next line is Mastery Mastery. 5 pips, each one makes all the other lines more Masterful.

Seriously, there is a glut of golems right now for a few different reasons, which should start to balance out over time. The price on the TP has started to rise again and likely enough they will be much less plentiful as they continue to be used. We are definitely aware of the change to the game that making golems tradeable has had and we’ll keep looking for ways to adjust the balance of the game, but for now stop those golems!
