We’ll I’m going to try to have my mount money and some to spare by level 25-30, it’ll be interesting how different the spending will be in live Classic.
Make SFK your best friend …solo it over it and over …charge for run-throughs. It is money to be had.
All that good twink gear!!!

I give my friend 100 gold in BfA. My friend in return gives me 100 copper ore in Classic. Have I broken the ToS? I doubt it. Can this transaction be detected? I doubt it.
The same transaction can be repeated with gold for herbs. On and on and on.
There are so many ways to move gold from retail to classic.
Its a violation for sure. But it going to be hard to enforce and it WILL happen. Just like in undocumented servers, you do it at your own risk. Who really cares about retail though…
It didn’t have to be BfA WoW, people did this all the time through other games, buying gold in WoW using resources they had in, say, Runescape.
Nothing has changed just because a second reality of WoW exists. It is merely another game people play. Granted, one that you’re more likely to see other players in WoW classic playing, but its otherwise no different an idea.
It is allowed but at your own risk. Blizzard can’t protect such trades and can’t restore or reverse it. They obviously can’t go into Runescape and save your lost resources, and while they could do that with BfA, they wont. Vanilla Standard Maintained.
LOL gold is not that hard to come by in Classic, I mean it’s hard but you’re being ridiculous. There will definitely be a steep price, but back in 2015 it was like $15/100 gold, not $15/1. You could see an exchange for 120k in retail to 100 in classic for example.
It’s possible to farm 50-200 gold per hour depending on your class. People will want to trade for retail gold, at some conversion rate, in order to pay for their sub with gold. Definitely shouldn’t allow the trades to happen though.
EDIT: Meant to say 2005, not 2015.
Your friend can give you all the copper ore he wants. If he only charges you 100g then keep that friend because he obviously loves you. You just tossing too many what ifs to justify something that isn’t going to happen. Nobody cares about you ore transaction but that friend is going to invest a few hrs ore farming so he can have 100 gold he could have got from the vendor on a few trash items in retail. The point is no matter how much you talk someone will put time in earning that gold if you got a friend that wants to dedicate their life helping you on Wow the so be it. Doubt it though
The conversion rate was not $15 for 100…go look right now the most shady looking places are charging $1-$2 per 1g …and its higher than on the better sites. Your memory must be failing you or you didn’t play much in vanilla and watched Susan spam trade from china. BIg difference on the real value than a fake ad waiting to rob you. Right before BC launch it was a 1 to 1 ratio everywhere. Way more at the beginning.
Look, I’m not going to point you anywhere, but if you do some simple googling right now you will see posts from 2005-2006 with those prices.
You have a very distorted memory of gold in vanilla, or you weren’t in the right circles. It is very much possible to roll in 50-200 gold an hour depending on your class.
No one in their right mind would be paying 1$ for 1 gold, though I’m sure some were scammed into doing so. I mean, people were misinformed back then, but there were plenty of known farming strategies that would invalidate that.
Didn’t bother reading the rest of your post because this is 100% wrong.
If I list a WoW token when it’s at 140,000g, the price then drops to 120,000g, then my token sells and I still get 140,000g even though the person buying it only paid 120,000g, it created 20,000g from nothing.
So you have a hypothesis and now need to prove it. So you do this with a friend with your first level 60 classic character. Then come here and post all the information such character names involved, server, and such. Then you can determine how they react.
I won’t point you anywhere either but my circle is big and I know very very well that value and exactly how the system operates. I can pop you links all day showing the value of launch day on Classic. The value on 200 wool cloth is $20 usd because that’s is hrs of farming. Guess what someone will gladly pay $40 for 400 wool because they dont have time. Even rogue pickpocketing SM isn’t going to net you 50-200 an hr. The value will drop some once the server is flooded with 60’s but early on …gold is going to cost.
This here gets a HARD no!!! Play the game quit looking for a shortcut!!!

That is a specific circumstance where Blizz is likely making sure you got the amount of gold you were told you’d make when buying the token. They’re in essence guaranteeing you the full purchase value for the real money you gave them for the token. Can you imagune the storm if people bought tokens when the list gold value was one thing but suddenly tanked and they onku got 75% of the advertised value at the time of purchase? People would be livid.
You can’t buy a token, click on it, and have the gold appear out of nowhere. It has to be listed on the AH for a specified amount. It’s not a lockbox that drops gold into your inventory when opened. Outside of potential price fluctuations, the gold is coming from the player pool.

I’m talking about Vanilla, not classic. In Vanilla gold had a value of about $10-15/100g, it was not a 1:1 ratio.
Classic may start for the first day near that, but no sane person is making that trade when in just 2-3 weeks enough gold will be in circulation that the original values will be in play.
50-200g an hour is easy when you’re farming certain areas or dungeons just from looting and vendoring. The lower end of that range is possible in the high 30’s low 40’s on mages in a few locations.
I never said you “buy a token, click on it, and have gold appear out of nowhere” I just said that it creates gold out of thin air.
Of course people would be livid, that’s why it creates gold out of nothing to make sure you get what you listed it for if the price drops.
We all make mistakes, it’s fine.
Put up or shut up.
My hypothesis was that the devs didn’t fully understand the question due to the way it was worded. My new Hypothesis is that you just don’t understand words which is why I replied in emojis.
