I’m just not buying how this is gonna ruin game or whatever.
I can’t make gold as a tank anymore and im sick of it just let me buy the token and sell it on the AH its not gonna hurt the economy everything will be fine blizzard.
You’ll make a little money off the top Blizz just do this. Nobody is gonna flip out everything will be fine, I’ll make some gold again and can buy stuff things will be great.
Its one of those things where I wish that could have been in back in the day that’s how good it is.

So your not a fan of the Token?
He’s talking about your sentence structure and abhorrent lack of grammar.
I agree and want the token included with classic wow. Not everyone has the time to raid and farm gold. Maybe MMO’s aren’t for them but at the same time I highly doubt Blizzard wants to drop their subscription count even lower.

From what I hear there is a discord out there full of reputable gold traders who will take retail gold for classic gold, and you can just buy the retail gold with the token. They may not be on every classic server but from what i’ve heard they have lots of options.
im a tank and i have over 2k gold and i dont even try to get gold.
run dungeons… get loot, vendor it, sell it. whatever.
just because you can’t get boost levels of gold doesnt mean you can’t get it at all.
your shear laziness and blizzards willingness to comply to it is what ruins games.

or… you know you could just get Essence of Pure Flame and A Skullflame shield and sell stocks carries…
or you know… sell your tanking services for high level dungeons. Tanks are in demand after all. Maybe get a healer friend and just sell to dps. 30g each then split it with your friend. 45g a run.
Nah dog. Stop being lazy.

Bro there is too many gold sinks in the game.
I’m trying to boost my shammie alt he’s level 42 right now.
My consumes are gonna be 100’s of gold per raid my guilds requiring a flask to get into AQ raids.
We need this bro. Your a priest you should be agreeing with me here.
I read “I can’t…I’m…let me…”. Your whole post assumes the game should be changed for YOU (one player). But it won’t. This is not a custom game for you. The game won’t be re-designed for you.
There are dozens of different ways to make gold in WoW, if you need gold. If you “can’t make gold” you aren’t trying. You want gold handed to you. Well, in VANILLA WOW it was not handed to you. If you expect that, you should not choose to play Classic WoW.
You don’t need a level 60 to make gold. In Classic I have no characters above level 44. But I have 1600g right now, and have spent more than that already for mounts, spells, and armor for my many alts.

We’re going to eventually reach a point where all the gold is held by people who don’t buy anything anymore, and the market will implode. Sure, consumables can be price controlled for awhile, but controlling a market isn’t going to change the fact that there aren’t any players who can afford to pay their prices.
Of course, if it remains extremely easy to purchase gold through RMT, then players will continue to do that and gold inflation will continue perpetually. The WoW token just substitutes ToS violating 3rd party sellers with Blizzard. The market never gets fixed. Gold becomes less valuable, but now more people feel justified to purchase it because Blizzard is the seller.
There’s a resource scarcity problem on all the medium pop or greater servers. That’s why markets are so easily dominated and prices are so easily fixed. The spawn rate for mats doesn’t scale with these much larger server populations. Boosting spawn rates would be truer to #nochanges than what we’re currently experiencing because it would preserve the ratio of spawn rate:population size.
tl;dr: Blizzard ruined economies with boosted server populations and layering. Blizzard would only cause even more harm to the in game economy by introducing a token.

I thought Rival was a decent guild, but I no longer do, thanks to your post.

If tokens were a thing prices would just go up to match. Tokens should never be in classic.
Lmao, try playing a feral druid. Manuel crowd pummeler farm, dark rune farm, major mana potion, winterfall firewater, juju power, grilled squid, elixir of mongoose the list goes on. I have no sympathy, you as I did picked the class / spec that we did now we reap the consequences.

You can make money on the AH, you can make money running MC pugs, Ony Pugs and soon BWL pugs.
Make all the loot free roll with maybe 1 or 2 items reserved for you like thunderfury bindings, and legitimately distribute loot based on a fair roll.
Charge 20 gold per raid slot, you will make a killing.
I mean, you picked/chose a much, much, much, much harder path, there’s no reason to sympathize with those who choose the easy path. However, we all could have chosen the easy path, so there’s no sympathy for anyone who went out of their way to choose a more difficult path.
Tanks can easily make a ton of gold, simply selling carries to get people’s alts from the mid 20s to the early 40s. Selling boosts through Scarlet Monastery is something that any 60 can do, especially tanks. You barely take damage while slaughtering everything in sight, even in Cathedral. And there are always groups looking for tanks in high-level dungeons. You aren’t going to make tens of thousands of gold, but you can easily cover your costs for consumables and repairs for the week in a day’s work.
