If you have someone with 10k gold who is going to tbc and doesn’t care about their classic gold then yes… very easily
I’ll spell it out again for you.
they give you 10k classic gold you clone you give them 20k TBC gold you now have 20 classic gold. 10k classic gold and a clone became 20k classic gold.
I mean it does though, one player isn’t required to clone, so they were never going to be participating in the classic economy and would have taken their 10k with them into TBC and removed it from the classic economy.
It is simple.
Blizzard is laying the rules that they are creating 2 separate games: TBC Classic and Classic Era.
You are allowed to copy your character over there if you want, and you pay a fee for that.
That is not duplication of gold. It is literally a character copy to another game.
You are making up things that never show gold being duplicated. Simple as that.
You are the one that cares a lot by something that is not gold dupe, and yet you try hard to show up that it is.
I stand by my statement, that the same gold that existed before the snapshot will exist after the snapshot, in both games.
okay you can keep not understanding how math works I suppose its up to you.
Its objectively true that a group of players can use the clone to effectively double their buying power. Consolidation can lead to more gold going between servers with less clones being purchased. This is simple math and empirically provable.
I sure understand, you clearly can’t show how the gold that exists before the snapshot will be duplicated. you’re just saying that if you clone your character to Classic Era you can simply trade your gold with someone for their gold in TBC, which is not dupe.
Stop thinking about individual people and think of each server as a whole. At the time of the snapshot there is x gold on each server, that will not change, it can only be redistributed, the end.
Yes but by redistributing where the gold is before the snapshot you can more easily ensure that it ends up on both servers. No one is saying you can duplicate gold after the snapshot we are saying you can use the snap shot and consolidation to end up with twice the gold after the snap shot as you had before the snapshot
