And the flip side of that is that people won’t just be throwing vanilla gold at tokens. Keep in mind tokens only translate into blizzard dollars, if gold is so hard to come by why would so many people be willing to trade their hard earned vanilla gold for blizzard bucks?
First, I do like playing devils advocate and tokens are an easy market
But no token prices have always been determined by in game demand and the value of WoW gold vs what it can buy not some tin foil hatted blizzard. In retail gold is super easy to come by so it’s easy to drop it on blizzard bucks. In classic presumably gold will be much harder to come by and as such there will be far fewer people willing to use it for blizzard bucks.
I stand by my original position, if someone is willing to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for an epic mount more power to them. By the time you can get 1000g for say 20$ who cares anyways.
Well other than that there are better items that’s can’t be bought on the AH? And there are items very close to as good that can be gotten with no gold? And isn’t the devilsaur set only 3 items for one class?
So yeah the whole tokens are P2W just seems very fear mongering.
Ziryus, when a gold farmer company pays people to grind mobs or steal people’s accounts they are also selling gold that has been generated by gameplay. Someone paying them for the gold is functionally identical to the token system.
One of the big problems with some of the more frequent anti-sharding posters is that they think everyone that disagrees with them is a troll. (The very thing they accuse others of doing.)
