so you’re saying that the hard part would be to get a second party involved? I’m not sure it would be as hard to get a second person you trust to want to double their gold as you think it would.
In theory trading 1 retail gold for 100,000 classic gold works fine. So you agree then that you can use two people and the clone to functionally double your gold on 1 server.
Yes or No answers only please
Given the players have 120k total buying power, combined rather than their prior 60k, the math seems to disagree. Doesn’t matter that they are walled off between games. It generated 30k available gold that was not available in either economy, as neither player was cloning to begin with.
May 18th is the date where the snapshot occurs.
You chose your destiny:
If you decide 1 or 2, you will have an option later to clone your character, based on May 18th.
June 1st is the day the Dark Portal Opens, and has nothing to do with the snapshot or player’s choice.
Nope, you would have to get some one to do it 
This is the words lawyering I’m talking about. It hasnt doubled, only the distribution changed. Nothing can change that.
So your reason for why two people can’t effectively double their gold is that you need two people…
Do you maybe want to read that one again or is that your final answer?
Okay, so then 1 player has to pay a clone fee to double their gold in this scenario, but you are saying that on 5/18, all classic players are shuttled off to their new servers?
The only reason there is an argument here is because people are arguing from different premises.
So do it, that’s my final answer.
You are dunning kruger.
They had 120K total prior too. You are sounding it like the gold was duplicated, but you are not doing very well at reading, or are you wording it this way to sound like a dupe? I hope you’re not resorting to intellectual dishonesty.
Yes, it matters. Blizzard is creating the opportunity for players to either go for one game or another, or play both.
The only way to do that is by cloning your character there.
I am sorry, but where did you get 30K here where the numbers were 60K each player (total 120K)?
See what happens when you start making up numbers? You start giving wrong numbers and looking like a fool.
It hasn’t doubled… the number is only twice as big
Without the clone one player has 60k gold on the TBC server and 0 gold on the Classic server the other has 60k gold on the classic server and 0 gold on the tbc server.
With the clone one player has 120k gold on the tbc server and 120k gold on the classic server.
Please explain how 60 becoming 120 isn’t doubling
They have 120k buying power combined though. Doesn’t matter that their relative economies don’t interact, they both go from having 30k to 60k in their chosen version, as neither planned to play the other version anyway.
Its not duping in the traditional sense we’d think of it, but in essence it is. I’m not really debating the pros/cons of the service. I really don’t care. I was just trying to help someone understand someone else’s argument.
Please explain how that happens with the snapshot.
For two people to double their gold, they would have to end up with the double amount of gold, each, in each game.
Your statement that trading 1 gold from Classic Era to 1 gold in TBC classic is dupe is just hilarious. You have no idea about what dupe does really means.
I have… several times.
And that is the final they would have in each game.
We all understand, we just dont agree on what constitutes actual cloning, this isn’t by my definition.
Why? why in each game? we are comparing a situation where no clone is used to a situation where a clone is used. Both players only care about one version of the game why does the gold in the other version of the game matter?
So I can turn my 10k gold in classic into 20k gold?
