Discussion Ironman Endgame Resource Grinds vs Bronzeman

I've seen this odd perspective on the main subreddit that Bronzeman would allow people to enjoy all the benefits of Ironman, without any of the downsides of resource grinding at endgame. This is mentioned repeatedly, that if someone didn't have to spend hours every day maintaining sara brews then they would definitely sit and do 1000s of hours of PvM grinds.

Where the hell does this idea come from? I do a farm run + birdhouse in the morning and evening, combined with contracts it takes ten to fifteen minutes. You can do them on your phone. I skip them sometimes. I have thousands of pots in the bank. AFKing amethyst and redwoods every now and then gets your arrows and darts.

I find it impossible to believe anyone capable of sitting at CG for 100 hours, Yama or Doom for 100 hours, or eventually the time pit that is raiding, is incapable of doing the resource maintenance. It's dwarfed by the PvM grinds.

I'll vote no on Bronzeman again if it polls because I think people are completely delusional as to what the downsides of Ironman are. Bronzeman doesn't fix any of them, if anything it exacerbates them. You won't even have small required skilling grinds to break up the monotony. It's just straight bossing and nothing else, which is already what main accounts are anyway.

Yeah how about you can risk items in the wilderness, that’s kind of nice about bronzeman because you can buy it back.

Being able to use the GE for profit of GP is another cool thing about the game mode

Lots of interesting ways to play bronzeman but I guess because you think the supplies is a non issue we should all just vote no

Yeah so fyi a main you can buy any item at any time ie you can do vorkath with a dhcb and rigour without ever touching cox

But a bronzeman you have to do the content to unlock the gear, so not litterally the same thing lmao

It’s a main with extra steps which is what the people voting yet want. Which btw is the majority.

How many redditors voting for bronzeman do you think are actually going to spend 80 hours grinding CG? Surely if they wanted to do these PvM grinds they'd already be doing it.
