It feels like I've been hearing about the gold cap for the last two years now. Some gold guide or another came out a few years back claiming to have mastered the cap and gotten there on multiple characters. At the time, players were skeptical because no one had seen it before and because Wrath was not out yet (when inflation would make it seem far more likely).
These days, we've heard of more than one player dinging the cap, and have even seen posts on the official forms about it. The problem with this though is that it's impossible to know how they hit the cap or when they did it. If you think about it, just farming on normal goods wouldn't make it that hard to hit the cap. If you made 500 gold an hour, it would take roughly 16 days of game time to reach the cap. Yeah, that's a lot, but it's not impossible – roughly about the same amount of time it takes for two or three Level 80s to be leveled up.
But, then this Hit Gold Cap guide was released a few weeks back and everyone is starting to wonder how fast you can really get to the gold cap. After all, if you can hit the gold cap in less than 6 months, why not do it? The math seems to work and if you look at the strategies in T Dub Sanders' guide, you could theoretically get to the gold cap in about a month or so if you worked hard at it each day (which is roughly what he claims).
So, the big question for everyone out there is this – do you need to hit the gold cap and if so, what would be the best way to get there. I'm partial to not spending over 350 hours of my life farming for Titanium and Eternals, but what do you all think?
