No it isn’t. Botters aren’t poor. They can afford 30 days game time.

It does, but the WoW token isnt printing gold since the gold has to be gathered. The WoW economy is always going to inflate since you are always gaining gold from NPC’s. The only way to bring it down is to get gold out of the economy
Something people clearly dont understand. These botters are running like 30 bots on a single machine and you arent going to pick that machine up for a couple of hundred dollars. Thats 450 dollars game time for that one machine but the machine could cost thousands. Thats how lucrative gold buying is. This wouldnt happen if people didnt buy gold.
Yeah. The game does a terrible job at that. Someone needs to hire some EVE economists.
It prints money by creating a new incentive to farm gold, arguably the strongest incentive there is… The ability to not spending real money on the game. Now instead of only botters doing it, you have even more people doing it.
They need to ban gold buyers for 3 months and take away the gold, not just gold sellers. Any trades made for large sums of money that don’t also include an item worth roughly that amount of money on the market should be flagged. Money sent through the mail between accounts should also be banned or scrutinized in some way.
Maybe put a tarif on mailed gold. Very small amounts are exempt, then go up by 10, 20, 50, 75% as the values get higher. Any attempt to circumvent the tarif using mail spam of small amounts can be easily flagged.
How often do you see some basic item listed for over 7 k gold on the ah? There is always away for gold sellers to laundry that money…lol
i’m not sure since i never converted a token bought from ah to battle net balance but i heard that when a player buy token with gold and convert it into balance it only give you 15$ while the original buyer bought it for 20$ from shop.
so in non direct way you’re selling your gold to someone for battle net balance but blizzard is taking 25% of the deal.
This is most likely people trying to manipulate prices on ah, or to get someone to accidentally buy it by mistake. Most of these auctions stay up for their entire duration and expire, or we hear about it in here because someone accidentally bought one of them and come to complain about it.
That is what I always thought… The item in question normally goes for 70 gold but you’ll get one for 7000 gold hoping to catch someone not smart enough to pay attention.
I’ve also see the opposite… someone will also attempt to manipulate the AH by posting the item for 50% less (but only 1 item). I just buy the one item and resell it for the normal price.
