Nothing says "Casual Content" like 50K gold for a dragon saddle

That only works on ONE dragon riding mount. Holy crap is that a rip off. Activision doing Activision things.

INB4 people say 50K gold is easy to get. For casual players its not. Not everyone plays the game non stop 24/7/365/366. Most of us have lives and responsibilities outside of the game. I won’t buy a wow token either. My subscription is enough money already.

But 50k is…

Dang.

It’s a pirate saddle. Pirates like gold. It makes sense.

And like it or not that is a pretty minimal amount of money. This expansion hasn’t even had a gold sink.

As a casual player, I do not care about dragon mount customization :+1:

it has one
the tier 3 materials we need to unlock the armor

Oh, that whole process was so stupid I genuinely forgot about it.

So sure, I guess?

50K IS easy to get even if you’re a “casual.” I mean you can even make coin from riding a dragon. This whole “50k is too much. I don’t play more than 2 minutes a day” drivel is so bad.

You know why the token is 350k? Because gold is very easy to earn now.

thats not it it was due to people buying up the tokens when it was cheap to get diablo 4
when more players buy tokens with $20 it will drop

The chest is only 10 gold, your character just decided to put 49,990 gold inside the chest.

I’m a casual player. I’ve made 20k in the last 3 days just by selling some green crafted profession equipment in the AH. 50k is not a big deal.

The token just recently spiked to an NA all-time high just over 352k a couple days ago. People are definitely still buying with gold.

If gold wasn’t so easy to earn, then 350k for a token would not be supported and the price would crash as a result. The fact the token remains high tells you that gold is easy to earn.

then it should be falling back down then

lol

you don’t need to play 24/7 to get 50,000 gold.

Just do the gold world quests and races and you’d be at 50k gold in a few weeks.

Like I can get 10k gold just doing world quests and opening tuskar tackleboxes/expedition bags/disturbed dirt in like two hours, on one character.

Repeat 5 times over the course of a week, and boom, 50k gold in maybe 10 hours of play.

That isn’t how it works. When people buy the token with gold, the gold price goes up. When people buy it with real cash, the gold price goes down.

if you have 50 alts that run naxx and dragonriding WQ then yes but the average player that is not the case

Care to explain what you’re not understanding? It’s simple supply and demand. If more people are buying the token with gold than are selling it bought with real cash, the gold price goes up. It isn’t hard to grasp.

There is a clear glut of gold in retail relative to the amount of $20 tokens being put on the market.

let say its get to 400k then people buy $100 worth of tokens the gold buying one will drop due to this

Just sell all your mats for your professions? I made a decent amount disenchanting crap and selling different things I CAN make as a tailor. I’m not doing anything with my professions lol

Yes, the price oscillates in real-time. This has no bearing on the original point being made that retail isn’t full of gold, because it definitely is. If it wasn’t, the price wouldn’t have been sitting over 300k for the past month+.

Another thing that proves the supply of $20 tokens has been sitting lower than usual is sell time. If you list a token it will sell fast or slow based on how many there are. My token I bought on Friday sold in 2 hours, when earlier this spring they still took around 10-12 hours to sell. That means the supply was low which is helping keep the gold price high and stable above 300k.

No even for casual players it’s easy to get. Honestly if you cannot make a passive income just by playing this game you are not even playing the game.

You have to be trying very hard to not have gold at this point.
