Dude everyone freaking out is reading the title and missing the most Important part.
“Players will no longer be allowed to purchase a WoW Token from the Auction House or the in-game Shop for gold if they have not spent real money to purchase and consume at least 30 days of game time (a “Time Limited License”) since 2017.”
Basically this change will ONLY affect players who have not paid for a sub with realm money since 2017! AKA china farmers who have accounts that have never been paid for with real money in a day of their life. If you have used real money at some point since 2017 this will not effects you. Im pretty sure 99% of the player base has. This is a go after china gold farming accounts not wow players
