Certainly seems like it :frowning:

22

Ok,this is news. Where does it say you can convert gold to real life dollars?

23

Doesn’t the cost of respec reset each week? I don’t understand how anyone could be spending that much to respec.

You can buy tokens with cash and sell them on AH for in-game gold

24

I thought the cost of respeccing was to reset every so often?

25

Yeah, but that’s cash to gold via tokens. He’s referring to gold to real life dollars, which i thought isn’t possible and/or illegal…

Edit: Respec cost gets cut in half every few days, I’m told…but either way, if you’re respeccing enough that it’s costing 300K to respec, then mayhaps you need to find a role and settle on it OR carry different gear…it’s always been the answer since Classic…

Is that a joke? The game throws gear at you like tic tacs.

He didn’t say how he was doing it, i rather not assume he is doing something illegal because he may have worded it wrong. But yes buying gold from goldsellers is illegal.

Why? You used to carry around a whole set for each class you wanted to play, now you just need three pieces, pieces that are extremely easy to get

33

Who is taking it too serious Illegal in how it is against Blizzards ToS and can get you banned. Relax sweetcheeks.

If you’re spending that much per switch, you must be doing it constantly, so the real question is… why?

Nobody’s pushing content to that degree- maybe world first guilds that are literally paid to play the game were while the race was on… but now? No, nobody is doing that.

I’ll wait for OP answer,you can’t trade gold for real life money that is “illegal” in this game.Buy gold token then sell for gold yes but not for real life currency…I’m waiting…

This. With how important some Azerite mechanics are to certain classes (like Explosive Potential pre-nerf for Demo) having a sub-optimal piece without either of those traits simply isn’t practical just to save gold on reforging.

And even then it’s most an issue in early stages of content when the “serious” players are trying to figure out what works best in what scenario since they haven’t farmed enough content to be able to have a good set (not even BiS) for EVERY spec or scenario.

I never got past 20k on my Azerite reforging simply because I was playing at a level where I could say “I can’t afford to reforge, so I gotta play X spec for a while”, plus I’m a pure so DPS is DPS.

But it definitely was a far bigger issues for our flex players. Our Shadow Priest can’t exactly say “yeah, I gotta heal with Shadow traits” or “I gotta DPS with Holy traits because I can’t afford to reforge”. His bills before he managed to get an optimal Shadow and Holy set were absolutely ridiculous.

Join the club. Sadly, blizzard is an American company where capitalism reigns. They’re not shut about imposing restrictions and systems that get them more money.

The same awful 355 and 385 from WQs. Lord knows what I would do without them.

I think the problem is and I have this problem too is that 415 azurite gear is rng gated or time gated mythic+. It takes quite awhile before you would have 2 sets let alone 2 sets with good traits.
