It’s not that you seem to have the thought process that I want the token in because I’m lazy correct?
No it’s not true at all I do my dailies every single day And I play the game of fair amount the problem I have with it it’s the fact that gold controls everything.
And it’s the fact that you can’t play even a little effectively unless one you already are in an established Guild or illed or 2 you’re already farming gold all the time and for those that you know hate it like myself that does not enjoy playing the auction house it feels like something that you require to do just to play the game.
On top of that we could make an argument but what’s the definition of a casual player I would consider myself a casual player I play the game on average is an average 5 to 7 hours A-day.
The other problem is most people when they want to do pugs It sets this standard that they have to be overgeared for the content that they’re trying to do for example now I’m talking Kara Mind you and their demanding at least tier 5 now I know you don’t even need closer that to clear it but that’s not the point.
People have this mindset now that they don’t want to actually earn their gear when they can just buy it call it what it is it is a shop with more steps yes there are people that do make the gold legitimately but let’s be honest.
And the issue with gdkps As a whole It makes people care only about efficiency they want to get it done as fast as possible and when that’s the best way to make gold and the standards for those groups are so high most people can’t actually do them.
In a perfect world what I really want blizzard to do is get rid of gdkps and ban the bots right but I’m also a realist and no that’s not gonna happen they have a Manila to do it for 17 years what the heck makes Anyone else think that they’re going to be able to all of a sudden do it now is absolutely laughable.
On top of that we also have to look what’s the most solution that blizzard is most likely to do they’re not going to do something like increase gold increase gold gains a150% to scale with the economy there’s no way they’ll do something like that the most likely thing they would do is put in the wow token.
The other thing they could do is make all is make all items that drop off of every single raid boss put them on the badge vendor And you can’t buy those items until you kill that boss at least this would give gold to have not as much of a worth because there’s an alternative.
But as it stands If people are bidding hundreds of thousands of gold on things now and nothing changes what makes you think it’s not going to increase again to millions to the point where an average player can not play the game you can tell me that’s unrealistic but.
Look what happened with botz and classic look how fast we mid maxed the game to an absolute ridiculous amount with the world buff meta people class stacking the list goes on at this point there is no difference between the way we play this game and TBC and retail.
In fact retails actually less pay to win even with the token because guess what you can get all your consumables and gear up without paying gold yes you have the option to boost however you don’t need to boost to do normals Or heroics Now we’ll see what happens in dragonflight but from what I’m seeing again it looks like gold is not going to be as important.
The other half of that is you get enough gold throughout your lovely experience to get anything you defaultly need your epic flying you’re farming your mask for your profession is very easy because they’re sharded the list goes on.
But that’s my point.
