We all know BoT mobs drop quite a lot gold amongst of everything, so I'm using 10x invisibility to reset both packs for "infinite mobs" or until the big ones spawn in 2 hour timer.
2.25 minutes is the cooldown on invisibility, so this can be done one minute faster, but I'm very slow marker and looter ;)
The quality on this video is somewhat awful, I'm having codec issues, so Sony Vegas didn't want to encode it all and pushed out 28 gigs of raw video, then I encoded it with some weird codec down to 1 gig, and then finally autox264 agreed to function with the autocrop size and decoded the decoded video again with H.264..

I assume you are from Europe, because I read 1500 gold/sec, lol. Damn Euros messing with commas and periods.

It wont get nerfed, its been like that for 6 months. For a single person it is less than 1k gold an hour...(including worth of 1 boe per hour) divided by the 10 players.

Do those packs drop epics or just the harder packs you clear before those?

Yes they do. I've made around 5 millions of gold now by selling those BoEs (in 5 months, having ~2 hour session 2-4 times a week)

Those marks are set by slaves (focusing them individually), so sheeping 10 mobs is really easy.

Watched some live video feed from firelands trash farming and yeah so it looks to be very farmable. Also the trash gives you Avengers of Hyjal reputation till friendly, so new cloaks for each mage at least! :)
Using same tricks than in tbot, sheep all, kill all except one, loot, invis so the pack respawns, repeat.. :P
Killing the naga ones, scorpions didnt have any epics yet so bot bored with them
Where are the naga?

I have had really bad luck since last night. I am getting one epic per 1.5 - 2 hours. Mostly patterns too. I was wondering if anyone tried any packs deeper? Maybe they just nerfed the front mobs?
edit: this is after roughly double that rate and long sessions (6 hours a piece).

same exact thing i did. I got so many epics i lost count not including the epic patterns which i had about 15-20 of. I stayed in the same instance from when servers first came up so i think drop rates were a bit better in that specific instance.I was getting an epic every 4-5 packs and alot of the times every pack dropped an epic. Went back in today got 8 epic patterns and 2 actual epics in 5 hours so a huge difference

just keep on farming Flamewaker mobs.
sheep 5, kill 4, then invisbility on all toons, remark them, let them path once, repeat.. they have epics, at least on eu realms ;)

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I have done about 12 hours of grinding and don't have that much to show for it.

yeah us cool Kil'Jaeden mages were farming since the patch went live, with Void being our sugar daddy now for life...
the pulls are easy, and the only thing you need to worry about is the lava giant or whatever.. he hits hard.
you can invis past him, though and pull the humanoids, but it's risky if he pats down while you are fighting / looting.
just blow all your cooldowns and he will die :)

Hate to say it but doing this ruins multiboxing for the rest of us. Blizzard nerfed the trash mob drops rates because of this. Not to mention they might even ban multiboxing in the future because of things like this. :(

Wait...
You're basing the fact that the Firelands raid trash epic drop percentage was lowered strictly because of
multiboxers? What exactly is stopping a guild or 5 friends from doing the exact same thing to make money?

Using invis exploit to reset the trash is what is wrong. Farming the trash properly is fine, so yes, I AM basing this on the fact exploits were used! It's the same if 10 hunters or 10 rogues went in... resetting trash like that is not how the game is intended to be played, and they will deem it an exploit.
I don't mind people multiboxing, but play within the rules.

12 recipes, 3 weapons and 1 ring after 5 hours semi-afk farming.. and you saying the trash drops are nerfed?
Also I wouldn't call trash reseting as exploiting. If you do not reset them, you would be killing other mobs anyway so there really is no remarkable benefit on it. It's just a lazy way to farm some.
Only real benefit is, you don't have to run out once in a while and reset the dungeon. Though with mounts and invite-macros that takes what like 20 seconds more to regroup outside and jump back in..

Sorry I dont see it, in fact balanced groups can clear faster than I can boxing. I have to wait for invis cooldown to come back up and my images CD. Thats 4 mobs in 3 minutes + the time it takes to kill. Hardly exploiting.

Using a spell in game as it is intended to be used is not an exploit. Raids aren't "intended" to be someplace people go to farm trash, they are created with the intent that people go in to kill bosses. Yet people have been trash farming raids since MC. People can just as easily reset trash by leaving one up and exiting the instance, just like they did when farming bug mounts, rep and rep items in AQ. If Invis was an "exploit" in this instance, they wouldn't have nerfed the drop rates, they would have added detect Invis to the mobs. If de-agro resets were exploits, they would have changed it so that the groups only respawn on an instance reset.
The change in drop rates were because the drop rates were too high, not because of reset mechanics and certainly not because of multiboxing. Bosses are where you're supposed to expect epics, not trash mobs. It's as simple as that.
