There may not be anything there.
I do believe they were into 9.2 for a few months if not more, devs are usually ahead into what people think they are at…
Probably just a frame work, ideas, direction for 9.2 that’ll be revealed next year by the looks of it. Gamescom MAY have some Blizz folks there trying to buzz up interest but it may very well be on their other IPs.
What? Name one that doesn’t. Comparing WoW to FF is a waste of time because the closest thing comparable there is when WoW would actually ban people for it. You act like gold selling in WoW doesn’t still happen, it does, including a ton of RMT services through discord channels.
This literally does happen.
Are you new or something?
Value isn’t the same as “must have.” If you can’t see the difference, I’m not sure what to tell you either.
Yeah, it seems extremely doubtful. Blizzard has baked in a ton of long-tail mechanics that to me signal that they’re content to let this be a longer patch. I don’t think you’d see systems needing to go to like Renown 77 for player power or the Stygian Ember grind that takes months if this was going to be a short patch. It just seems very doubtful to me.
Blizzard will rely on a 9.1.5 to try to compete with Endwalker. It won’t, but they’ll try.
I literally did, Final Fantasy 14. But if you want another one, ESO also has a gold selling problem, as does SWTOR, and I guarantee you when it launches New World will also have a gold selling problem if it doesn’t provide the ability to purchase game currency with whatever store currency they choose to use.
It doesn’t on retail. There’s no market for it. You might see one or two advertisements once in a blue moon, but they’re rare. No one is risking buying gold from an illegal third party when they can just pay Blizzard $20 and get a decent chunk of gold that way.
Then please, explain how it works. You cannot trade the WoW token in Classic/TBC Classic because the item doesn’t exist there, and even if you could argue “Oh they trade it on retail and then in classic they trade gold” that also doesn’t work because the WoW token cannot be manually traded via the trade window. It must be put on the AH. That’s the only place it can be sold.
Anyone who expects anything from Blizzard WoW wise, is setting themselves up for disappointment.
WoW’s development is dead in the water, I wouldn’t and don’t expect anything for the rest of the year. This lawsuit isn’t something they can brush off and even if you as a player don’t care about it, that won’t make content magically appear either.
That wasn’t what you said, you said MMOs that sell their own currency don’t have issues with account hacking or illegal sellers. FF14 doesn’t sell it’s own currency. I said name one that does and doesn’t have these issues.
Rofl, yes it does. In fact, in a lot of cases, it’s cheaper than the token.
No gold sellers, no issues with rampant account hacking.
EVE Online is another one that doesn’t have an issue with gold-selling (or in their case ISK) because they offer the same system that WoW does, where you can spend $20 and get PLEX, which can then be sold on the market for their game currency.
I’m not even bothering with the rest of your post, as you haven’t proved that WoW tokens are being sold, you’ve just exposed a loophole (that I’m sure Blizzard will close) that allows people to potentially get scammed.
