Is it Me or Do Wow Token Prices Tell conflicting storys about games health? Feel as gold price has only gone up on the over last 2 months est the blizzard lawsuit stuff? TBH they increased by at least 40k gold each… Leads me to believe one of two things 1. The Streamer Hype about people Quitting wow is totally Flase or 2. Blizzard is Artificially Inflating Gold Prices or Gold Payout or Whatever its a Digital number right someone could just make whatever they want it to be right? Blizzard wouldnt lie to us now would they would they? on same note for Streamers they wouldn’t Lie about things for Clicks and Views Right? Well you be Jugde “An illusion, what are you hiding?”

Prices go up when there is fewer to buy.

If there is more gold supply than people wanting to buy, the price goes up for token buyers.
Higher gold means lower purchase volume. They were under $120k at the launch of SL, if that tells you how bad it is.

I know for a fact that people don’t want to throw money at Blizzard anymore after the recent events so less token on the AH.
I don’t think your view on how the price moves works for either of your possibilities. The gold value goes up if no one is willing to buy the token and put it on the market. That is to entice people to pay $20. If the price is spiking, it is because no one is willing to pay $20 to trade it for gold. So, the price moves up until it is worth it for someone to pay $20 and put the token up for sale. The price of the token in gold would go down if there were more people willing to sell tokens.

I imagine they put the breaks on inflation and speculate the gold price will be more in line of what you see in Europe in the coming months.

I don’t think it says anything about the game’s overall health. Just the supply and demand of tokens.

Think Number Transaction dose say something to maintain prices don’t you?
I think it has nothing to do with the game’s overall health.

It was going down then starting going back up
I’ve told my visa to be on standby because if they hit 250 that’s my buy point and it’ll be time to melt

Here’s my explanation I always post in these sorts of threads.
Please everyone remember that when talking about “buying” or “selling” tokens, please be specific with regard to whether you’re talking about dollars or gold, since they can be bought either way and have opposite effects depending on which is used.
- Some people buy tokens with dollars, to get gold. Others buy tokens in-game with gold, to get game time.
- If there are more people buying tokens with dollars (to get gold) than there are people buying tokens off the AH with gold, the gold price goes DOWN.
- If there are more people buying tokens off the AH with gold than there are people buying tokens with dollars, the gold price goes UP.

Yep, there’s no possible way to ever know that’s true. The only way would be like if Blizz was somehow dumb enough to put the total number of tokens available for purchase and someone sees there’s 0 tokens and then one sells. Outside of that (or Blizz saying they do it) you could never know.
You could look at something like this

and conclude that no, Blizz doesn’t give players gold it’s all from players they say so right there but 
of course they’d say that. So it’s really a pointless thing to think about.
Botting isn’t the big issue people made it out to be the past couple expansions. I rarely noticed anything suspicious and players very often made claims that someone was botting and they very clearly were not. Blizzard may well have very sophisticated AI that emulate player behavior and they’d be hard to catch by the naked eye alone.
There is nothing funny going on.
People spending money > People spending gold = Lower prices
People spending money < People spending gold = Higher prices

They got to get their numbers up since so many have left this game. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are boosting the pay out so that more people buy tokens.

There is an ebb and flow to supply and demand based on the supply and demand of the commodity in supply or in demand… once that supply or demand changes the lowering or raising of the price of that commodity goes up or down… based on what you have said the price could be on the rise or start to fall at any time.
Supply and demand. Less ppl selling more ppl buying.
