After a good run of W’s with Dragonflight, we’ve gotten 3 back-to-back Common Blizzard L’s.

Wrong, someone has to buy that wow token for $20 from Blizzard then puts it on the AH for someone to buy for gold…they are not on the AH unless someone buys the token from the shop. Blizzard now gets more money for said subscription than they did before.

Blizz only makes that money from people that don’t know they can get it from somewhere else cheaper - or are maybe worried about legitimacy issues.
The point is, the company is about to lose all the people that DO know they can get it from somewhere else cheaper now - BIG blow to sales #'s
EDIT: For the above response: no one has to buy the token with usd. I’m saying it’s easier to buy with gold - thus never paying blizzard any monies.
I’m confused by what you’re trying to say. Are you saying Blizzard is making less money from the token?
Wrong someone has to buy it with real money…before it can be sold on the AH.

It would depend on the demographics of the consumers and how much overlap there is to give an accurate data representation. I can say for certain though that everyone who knows they can buy gold and use that to buy the token will. That will be a lot of people.
Maybe… Just because a company tells you that is what they are doing doesn’t make it a fact. Corporations lie, people lie. I would think there is a good chance that they are just selling gold. Sure some are bought by people but they are just selling gold too. Maybe it is even gold they confiscate from gold sellers and players caught buying.

You guys gotta be trolling man, they get more money for a sub when someone uses gold and buys the token for sub time. The token MUST be purchased by seller Bigcreditcardman from blizzard for $20 then sold to the person paying with gold from the AH. How is this hard to understand.

The token is more for players who don’t have gold, not those who are concerned about game time.
if 50% of the playerbase buys the token and 50% of the playerbase buys gold, blizzard is still losing half of their subs.
Blizzard creates gold for Token sales, they 100% make money from them.
They didn’t release the token for 50% of wealth in the player base.
My raid team is already cashing out on tokens since most were afraid to purchase illegally or are time constrained.
The whales in the group, aren’t investing in tokens either. Odd isn’t it?
I digress its a trap.
Why can’t Blizzard show me who bought my token? Or where its allocation of gold came from?

Because it probably was bought from someone on a different server.
So they can’t show me someone’s name from a different server… have you ever done a Battleground?
Listen, right now thousands of tokens are being bought turn into gold. The price for the token is going up somehow too. There aren’t thousands of buyers for the tokens time.
Blizzard will artificially sell tokens. They can just /creategold and take the cash from the sales.
Privacy concerns? No clue.
Blizzard creates gold for sales.
Token auctions do not expire, they have 100% sell rates, and when its clear that the market is saturated with gold buyers, somehow the time is being bought faster since conversion is increasing.
The idea of releasing products to consume the game faster is stupid. Boost, tokens, you name it.
They have ZERO incentive to do this…

You don’t think the $20/token isn’t incentive?
If I could /create1000000gold and you give me $100 why would I not be incentivized to do so?
