300k needed for a WoW Token? How is this a thing? There is no callings or mission tables. Farming ore and herbs nets you 1 gold per node.

WoW needs more gold sinks.

Once again explaining how WoW tokens work:

  • Some people buy tokens with dollars, to get gold. Others buy tokens in-game with gold, to get game time.
  • If there are more people buying tokens with dollars (to get gold) than there are people buying tokens off the AH with gold, the gold price goes DOWN.
  • If there are more people buying tokens off the AH with gold than there are people buying tokens with dollars, the gold price goes UP.

At the start of every expansion, the gold price goes DOWN.
As each expansion goes along, the gold price goes UP.

There is a smaller supply of people wanting to pay real money for the fake kind right now. $15 isn’t too much to pay if you consider it by the hour used in a month.

I feel like this music needs to be in the background as Brewa narrates his “Here we learn about tokens” post!

You do know it’s not generating gold right?

It’s changing hands from buyer to seller

That’s why its called that. 300K?? WOW!!

Or it would be called Discount Token, or Peasant Token.

What’s interesting is that talking for 10 minutes and saying absolutely nothing isn’t a new phenomenon restricted to youtubers.

Sales in the store/other Blizzard products pushes token price up as well, since a lot more folks are buying tokens for gold in order to get balance for said things.

So, now that we’ve run the experiment, can I have my mission table back?

I am all for mission tables to return. They were a fun thing to do. I enjoyed collecting resources and sending out the little dudes out.

It had no effect on raiding. So there was no reason to nuke them.

OP, were at the point of an expansion where there is less people buying WoW tokens to be put on the AH then there are people buying WoW tokens on the AH.

On top of that, you have Blizzard upping their monetization in their games (Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, Diablo immortal etc) lately so if those people do play those games will buy a WoW token to get items from those games with WoW gold.

Only way for WoW tokens to drop in price is if there is a sudden surge of people buying WoW tokens through the shop or during in an expansion launch,
