Not really ā they transfer the gold from the person who spends gold to buy a token to the person who bought a token with $$$ and is selling it on the AH. The gold doesnāt disappear from the economy.
Contrast with, say, the brutosaur, before it was removed. Any good spent on that vanished from the economy.

327k as of this morning. At this rate I wonder maybe if the token would hit 500k by the end of the year

No it doesnāt. Blizzard is putting their paws in every transaction they can. What you see now is a gold dump. people using this much gold to buy services etcā¦ It should come back down for 10.2 and thatās assuming most players who have left actually come back.

Wondering the same thing myself, lolā¦
Even in late-Legion (fairly popular expansion), the price only reached like ~260-270k for a brief period of time
But now in Dragonflight - which supposedly sold less boxes than SL - the price has creeped up to ~300k not even halfway thru the expansion
Over on the woweconomy reddit (when one of these āwhy is the WoW token so expensive?ā threads pops up) itās been suggested that itās an indicator that there are fewer people playing now. Which somewhat makes sense since the ingame feels slower than usual and thereās been other AAA titles released recently

Like I said, less people buying WoW tokens with money, less people playing, ontop of that you have Blizzard is injecting so much microtransactions to their games which also drives up the price.
The only way it would be fixed is if as I said before, a sudden surge of people buying WoW tokens through the shop or an expansion launch where some people suddenly need gold so they end up buying a WoW token to throw on the AH.

Itās the blizzard balance and letting wow be a source of income so folks think they are getting something for nothing.
With the recent duping in diablow all the games now add inflation to the token. It aint worth 15 bucks a month to me anymore and it certainly isnāt worth the hours of gameplay Iād have to do to make the 3ook for a wow sub.
Good job blizz.

If blizzard really wanted to lower the WoW token gold price they could always bring back the mighty caravan brutosaur to its vendor
Not that I see that happening but its just a thought.

Itās a pretty good system blizzard hasā¦ if buying a WoW token with cash nets you a lot of gold, that means the playerbase is dwindling and the game is in a bad stateā¦ so letās double down on that by making the people who buy WoW tokens with gold, also quit playing because now they donāt have enough gold to stay subbed.
Solid business structure

At the very end of BFA the token price was 118k gold. I am not saying bring back the bruto but maybe a four seated dragon mount for 7 mil would be good.
You gotta give people a reason to spend gold even late in the season.
It will only gets worse when Blizz straight up sells Trader Tendies next expansion. You know that was the plan all along right?

Is more gold coming in?
Is less gold going out?
Is gold there is just circulating faster?
Iād be curious to see some stats. One of the things I liked about EvE were the periodic economic reports that were openly shared with players, helping explain what was motivating design decisions around costs and rewards.
