500g seems well overcharged to me, unless they consistenly up the Gold/BPs drop rate in PvE and in RvR.
And ofc the Realm buffs need to be unshearable and consistent through deaths.
Well if it was 500g for a pot (set of pots) with 10 charges lasting 20 minutes a time then you're looking at 3 hours + as long as you don't die or get sheared. That doesn't sound like a bad return to me really if you don't want to pay for a bot.
Why should people be forced to either PvE excessively or pay for a bot in order to RvR?
Bots are bad, it puts casual and newer players who already have a disadvantage in RvR at an even bigger disadvantage.
Why this unshearable idea? Shamans will never get grps again and druids/clerics will have fuck all to do really
