Below are some of the threads discussing tokens and RMT for your viewing pleasure. There are plenty of people complaining about it. This is not an exhaustive list.
I mean, your delivery is obviously sarcastic but you’re not wrong. They need to just put the token in at this point. I hate that every extra minute I play in this game is dedicated to farming gold so I can afford consumes for raid every week because the prices are so inflated from RMT. Meanwhile the whole server is spending 15k per alt to gear in gbids, piss away 1k in consumes each week like it’s nothing, and already have at least the 5k they’ll need for flying in TBC. I’m not willing to ri…
It was both to stop accounts from getting hacked and to disrupt bot farming.
Q: Why are you introducing the WoW Token feature?
A: We’ve heard feedback from players that they’d be interested in a secure, legitimate way to acquire gold that doesn’t involve the use of unauthorized third-party gold-selling services—one of the primary sources of account compromises. We also know players who’ve amassed large amounts of gold through regular play would be interested in the ability to trade some to ot…
I am curious as I do not think that the botters are selling the gold for real money. The cost of gold is equiv to the cost of tokens so why bother buying and risking your account instead of buying a token.
There has to be a way to make actual money so I wonder how the bots are doing it. Can the tokens be used on other games? Is there real money to be made with stuff that can be bought with tokens other than wow items?
Figure out how the real money is being made and find a way to stop that a…
I thought this might be relevant:

Some interesting takes:
“I have only bought wow tokens with my accounts and bot using my own profiles. I have yet to get banned. I doubt theres any tricks to it.”
“When i bought the tokens with all my accounts a few days ago and redeemed them, all of them got banned”
“Buying gametime tokens with botted or bought gold is high risk. and they will not consider any unban requests.”
“I think thei…
What I want: no spell batching, fix PvP so that it’s not so much of a no life grind, 'cuz that shiz isn’t healthy.
What we’ll get: WoW tokens.*
*I’m fine with tokens, just sayin’.
There was GDKP in vanilla WoW and to an extent also in retail. People need to realize there’s people in this game that farm to make gold or people buy gold or sell wow tokens depending on which version you’re playing on.
If this is true, why would they be issuing ban waves?

Unless you’re doing a lot of due diligence/research on every player within your GDKP runs, you can’t really claim that RMT gold doesn’t make it in often.
The people here claiming it’s the same as buying BoEs are making bad faith arguments and they know it. A BoE is BoE because it’s intended to be tradable, to be a commodity. BoP items are on a completely different system, that is they are BoP. They weren’t intended to be a commodity or else they would be BoE.
Right on again, Mobikon. Gold sellers undercut Blizzard in the RMT market. You can compare and contrast online. Even with a “new” TBC token, GDKP is so rampant that people who attend are going to mostly-Asian farmers for the lowest possible prices. Yep, in retail people still buy gold under retail prices. Gold buying is hard to eradicate, but GDKP is easy to nip in the bud. GDKP would not be rampant in the TBC / Wrath days. I have heard of a lot of raid modes, but personally, had never heard of …
Introduction:
Before we kick this thing off, I’ll give a little bit of a background on myself. From the years of 2008-2018 I was a RMT(Real Money Transactions) Expert. I have sold currency and accounts on more than 20 different popular MMO(Massive-Multiplayer Online) and Action RPG(Role Playing Game) titles. I got into the business of RMT right after I graduated from high school, I was young and the idea of making money playing video games sounded fantastic. I am currently working on finis…
“RMT”? Oh, Real Money Transactions. Got it. Those are illegal.
Anyone can farm herbs and sell them for gamegold in the auction house. That action is not against TOS at all.
Many real players raid, and they farm herbs for raid potions. Or their guild does that as a group. That is not RMT at all.
Many real players sell herbs in the AH, since prices are high. That is not RMT at all.
How can Blizzard know which of them will LATER sell the gamegold in RMT transactions (transactions which are NO…
Gold sinks aren’t a solution BTW.
Make edgemasters purchasable from vendors for a fixed price.
The only real solution is to make resources that require gold more available.
That isn’t really going to help though, because almost all gold farmed never leaves circulation. If you buy something on the AH, only a small percentage leaves the economy. Gold is farmed faster than the current gold sinks can remove it. By a huge margin. Adding more gold sinks would increase the amo…
