I wrote about this several months ago as well. I reported them to Blizzard with screenshots, but nothing has been done. It’s been months, and they’re still all over the auction house. They all use the same TSM, take the same hour-long lunch break from 7-8 pm Eastern, and have these unpronounceable names filled with symbols. They’re on every server. How can I get Blizzard to start banning these gold sellers?

Revert nerfs to gold sources of past expansions, this goes all the way back to WoD. Extend more reps to account wide for BFA and Legion since they too have paragon chests. Return gold to mission tables as well. Lastly gear vendor value from past expansions should be normalized, they dont have to be their original values, but do need a standardization that matches their level.
People need different methods to obtain it on their own without relying on others or the auction house. Eventually the token value will drop as more players have accessible gold through these mentioned sources.
You’re describing inflation.
This would actually result in the tokens gold value going up because there’s more gold in the economy, making gold worth less.
A tokens value is tied to the USD value of the 30 days of game time (or blizzard store credit) you can redeem it for.
A players access to more gold wouldn’t alleviate their need for gold because the price of player produced consumables would adjust accordingly to the amount of gold in the economy. they would just need more of it.
This would increase the player demand for gold and increase the amount of gold that gold sellers have available to them.
So the gold sellers would just sell more gold for less and make the same amount of USD for the same amount of effort, it wouldn’t really affect them at all.
The only thing that would affect is devaluing the gold any player currently has in their pocket.
None of that would stop it. There will always be lazy players who refuse to either work for the gold, or refuse to give money to Blizzard.
