That’s a good read and probably true but I don’t think 100% of the bot account are stolen or using stolen credit cards either.
I agree. Either put the token in or make black lotus a proc like arcane crystals and significantly buff drop rates. Which would ultimately be the best fix because it would tank the value of the biggest money sinks and completely and would flatten server economies back out. Having a million gold in classic would be useless.
I think it speaks volumes of the AMOUNT of players participating in RMT. If RMT company’s have no problem spending the money on new account(s) after each ban or ban wave then clearly it’s not effecting their profit margins to be effective.
People need to stop buying gold. How to go about that? I have no idea. Just like people are going to spend hundreds…if not thousands on multi-boxing to get an edge people will purchase gold. Thus a never ending cycle.
I also believe if blizzard or actiblizz was ALL about money they would just release a token? This seems like it would be the most profitable avenue while simultaneously dealing with the illicit gold selling trade
They are all about the money and they allready did:
