Edit : Incidentally a conservative estimate of the physical gold required based on todays prices for the blanks and the phylacteryweave with 100k per craft from a person able to actually craft it is 5,125,000 gold.
I ran 9 toons in Naxx this afternoon -got approximately 125 [Death's Bargaining Chip].
I just burned half and got jack &*!@. Nothing that gets me even one step closer to actualy completing the set or even ONE item in my desired T3 set for that matter.Then smelling a rat, I sought out a vid on YT to see what i could expect.
I found one first search that mirrored my experience.I believe Blizz has kept the RNG chance really !@#$ because all those whales that pissed away millions of gold on their set on the BMAH will cry cuz now there is a more proactive way to do this (in theory) and it doesnt need more money/gold that yer monthly subscription.
A way that doesnt require you to spend gold or buy WOW Tokens and spend gold (thus compromising the sales of WOW tokens).
I (/Nobody outside Blizz) has seen the stats and maybe there is a corrolation between ppl with BMAH T3 sets and Buying WOW Tokens.Eitherway I think i have more to do in my life that piss away this sort of time to beat an RNG algorithm that is statistically scripted to not give you jack $%^&!
I smell the hand of the same thinking behind Diabolo Mobile! Keep droppnig coins in the slot to get the %^&* you want.
This mechanism is a way to encourage ppl to spend cash on Wow Tokens to then go buy all the [Phylacterweave] (and maybe Righeous Orbs) because the actual method of farming will steal your time, life and soul. With no guarantee of actual success at the end of it.$%^&. Even if you did go to the BMAH for yer T3 Set at least you know what winning yer auction gives you the item.
I ran 9 toons today. Think about those ppl with only 1 or 2/3 toons...
The sence I have after seeing the drops and doing a little mental arithmatic is that you can commit to this activity for the next 5 years and never end up with what you want.

Description
I doubt I need to give you the entire spiel about scourgestones, {name}, so I will cut to the chase. I am VERY interested in growing my collection, and you are VERY interested in what I have to offer. Corruptor's Scourgestones are by far the most powerful, so we can talk business if you only have a few. And don't tell the Argent Dawn about this! It's our little secret, right pal?

Personally as someone who's making this in TWW I'm actually enjoying the process, because I've decided to NOT buy the tokens but instead buy them from the AH which now are a mere 100k a piece, which makes a full set only about 3.6mil, not bad at all. Maybe push it up to 3.8mil including mats for the Undeath Metal
