So you can earn a total of 3600 gold per day if you play every combination. Sounds like a good gold generator.
The good bgs go to ranked and the bad ones go to Single Player. Yeah, I could see this happening. I just hope that at the end of it my luck improves enough to get more than the guaranteed exo per box.
That's a total of 50400 gold over the 14 days. Assuming you have enough time to play 36 games every day.
That's 6 hours of pure game time assuming you 10 min (which is impossible) each of them. 84 (obivously more but math here) hours over 14 days for 50k gold, which roughly translates to 2800 owl credits. 0,33$ an hour at the absolute best case scenario. It's a nice bonus and everything but nobody is breaking the bank here.
10 min games is entirely possible in single player. I agree with your overall point, the hourly rate is horrible. You're better off playing games for the enjoyment and just switching BGs regularly so you can maximize the gold gain.
- So you can't get the bonus for using the same full faction but only changing the runes in the deck?
Just the loading times, switching bgs making sure you play the right one, breaks, etc make it highly unlikely that you can even fit perfect 10 min games in 6 hours, which I based my stupid exercise on.
Different factions. So you can play an SL Skeezick BG, an IS/SL Skeezick BG, and an IS Dwarf BG and get 300 gold for that day. If you plan an SL Skeezick BG, an SL Draksar BG, and an SL Dragon BG, you get 100 gold since all were SL.
