I mean
Its a legendary
It shouldcbe HARD to get
Gold sink =/= hard to get when you can just buy tokens
âHardâ to get, subjective as that may be, would be something like the Shadowmourne or Dragonwrath questlines. Maybe throw a mage tower-like challenge in there.

We have reached the point in WoW where I am openly mocked because I farm stuff. The prevailing attitude of EVERYONE I now know is: âjust buy a Token.â
Which I absolutely REFUSE to do! What is the point of the GAME then???
Just for reference, once the announcement hit about the mat cost, I jumped on my dual-spec Hunter (herb + mining, 100% maxed in both). I flew to ZC (because you need Spores) and had roughly 90% of the mats in 36 minutes.
In just 36 minutes, the only things left are the biggies you would expect: I only got about 30âish Awakened Order (you need 50), and I donât have those Cobra skin things.
I will admit the luck of having an Enchanter alt, so had all the shards from that. I mean⌠meh⌠the only real hurdle here is all the Awakened items. And of those, only Order is difficult to farm, all the rest are SUPER easy.
Itâs just no one wants to do it anymore. You wonât get all the RAID-ONLY DROPS for 2-3 weeks⌠you can farm these mats in, like, 10mins a day. Itâs NOTHING.
But I realize this is a lost cause. Everyone but me just buys a TokenâŚ

Yeah, itâs only truly expensive for those who donât have professions. Seeing all the enchanting mats and I was like, âHuh. That would be daunting if I didnât have an enchanter I could just throw tons of BoA gear at to disenchant.â
Especially since we can farm BoAs from Dreamsurges and with Flightstones.
Last I checked Legos are meant to be guild efforts. That players end up getting their own cuz they can is a problem?
Then again if you donât have a few hundred thousand laying around and you raid? Youâre doing something wrong.
This is just another guy grasping at straws to find things to complain.
I thought the legendary axe would be a raid drop. This is craftable?

Nothing about that axe is cool enough to spend any gold on. 
True⌠I know I got all the mats to have for mine but the 12 weeks I was at it it never dropped so I gave up and sold what I couldâŚ
The drops still gotta happen⌠-_- or doesnâtâŚ
I donât even see the point of getting the axe unless you really want the transmog. A player needs to beat the game at the highest difficultly, mythic raid kill, to get the weapon.
So what is even the point of getting it? You already won lol and the weapon will be useless next patch.
Edit: Holy Moly this was quoted in a PCGamesN Article

Its an aggregated article that credited your random post and not one of the hundred+ dissenting opinions in reply. If anything it shows how useless an AI forum skimming outlet is.

This is the problem.
Then dont buy wow tokens not even a valid complaint
This is good monetization! Anyone who gets the legendary drop will feel obligated to buy $80USD of WoW tokens to âtake advantageâ of their good luck.
Well, someoneâs getting taken advantage of anyway.

Wow tokens didnât exist then.
Itâs already just over 500K. Give it 2 weeks and itâll be 250K or lower.

I wish Blizz thought this through 'cause now leveling some professions, crafting something, has become worse, and at a bigger loss. Guess itâs time to wait it out on alt crafters for me at least.
ya, if you call an AI bot generating ânewsâ articles popular, hes the belle of the ball.
