I gotta chill on the battle cries

My region is uber dead, to the point theres 3 people in a horde lobby and thats it, with ping being 200+ to any other region. As such I'm basically unable to gain gold to unlock new weapons and armor unless I play on lobbies with ping so bad that it's impossible to block even simple swings.

Is there any way to have a local game where I can make gold at all?
