They do make a difference, that’s why people use them.
But also irrelevant and deflective. Paying cash for an advantage is the definition of p2w.

You’re just ignoring the point to be a contrarian my dude

No they dont. They dont generate any gold. The gold is player generated.
No it doesnt. Buying a token moves gold from your bags to the players who paid rl cash for the token - never does any gold leave the game either. It just goes from player to player.

I didn’t get an answer before, and i’d really like to know, so i’ll ask again. Do we actually know that’s how they work? Has blizzard been transparent about that?
I’m not trying to imply anything, I really don’t know.
Player one spends real money to pourchase a token from blizz. This player lists it on the ah for sale at an automatic price determined by supply/demand.
Player 2 uses in game gold to purchase the token from the ah. Upon winning the token from the ah they right click it and it adds 30 days of game time.
Player 1 recieves the gold that player 2 earnt in game.
There is no point.
Making the claim that consumables is going to make you any more or less successful in classic is a silly claim.
Yeah I get that much. But you don’t see who you’re buying it from, right? Unless blizzard specifically has said that they don’t ever generate gold or tokens to buffer the market, I would guess that they actually do.
Not that it would really make a giant difference either way.
Tell that to every raiding guild and every pvp premade lol.

No. No name is listed - you cant even see how many are listed. If you want to sell a token it gives you a price it will list for - if you want to buy one its a gold amount.

Wow dude. So much for transparency. There’s so little info there that it feels weird just looking at it.

So what you’re saying is that consumables are already being used and are available to everyone. I agree with you.
Wow tokens won’t make a bit of difference to this.
This is true, for the most part. I never disagreed with that, or even implied disagreement. You’re the one who was making claims that counter this obvious fact.
Blizz wont help out with the transactions either - they will still follow their tos in regards to scamming and take action against offenders but you lose your gold as well
What? Tokens would drive the price of consumables way up

So then I guess farming would be more lucrative (assuming that you actually are right about this.)
Chicken and egg situation.
If your assumption is correct, the only person this hurts is the gold buyer.
So people complain they can’t farm the mats themselves due to limited spawns and overpopulation but increasing the value of these items will somehow make it so people can farm them even tho they want to buy it with token gold
Dude your logic is so flawless I bow to your indomitable wit how could I be so blind

If they did that would mean the people selling said consumables would be selling them for more as well.
And everyone else that sells everything else that isn’t as inflated makes “less gold” compared to what they did before
That’s why on retail some rare xmog are worth a half mil and most other stuff is worthless
