I don’t want the mount, but I wouldn’t mind buying a token for some gold . . .
This is like watching the stock market now, casue I am totally buying a couple tokens with this inflation, but I’d like to try to hit it as it’s peak.

Unless there’s a sudden reversal of the trend, or blizzard steps in, the token price is rising at about 1% every 10-15 minutes. ~12000 an hour, so come morning, it should be 380k or higher.
I would just wait and see, the same price clamping mechanism that is keeping it from rising faster, as it would in a free market, will clamp it from falling too fast as well.

It’s always 20 cash. Don’t sell for less than 300k. but this mount stuff, oooo we may see it go higher. If it hits 500 a token, I’ll buy nine just for the irritation factor on so many levels.

Good point - it won’t drop dramatically, so I guess it can be monitored.
Wowhead shows it on it’s website, right?
AND yeah, I forgot that it always costs the same, and the amount I get depends on when I place it on the AH.
You buy the token and it sits in your bags until you sell it.
You can buy them now and wait until the price hits whatever point you feel comfortable selling at… but the price can go up or down, the market dictates that.

Yeah, I think this could be a unique opportunity. We’ve never had a mount sell this high, and in turn, never had the demand be this high before (I think).
I’m also like you in that if this gets up to 500k or more . . . oh brother; I’ll spend more than $90, but it won’t be for the mount lol

I think you’re on to something here. People can buy the mount, whatever. But what if the real money maker was the profit of the tokens?

It was always both. They know what they are doing.

So the “invisible hand” of the free market is a lie? If humans can manipulate the free market with mechanisms?

I wonder if this is also a way to drive sales for the 4th quarter

Yeah, all of the sudden I’m like:
“Yes, yes, I agree, it’s so affordable, you should use all that gold to buy tokens for this mount absolutely” hehehehe

I can see the tokens going pretty high, since I’m still camping the AH to squeeze out buying a few because I want to use my gold on the bruto.
100%. They need impressive sales numbers to cover for the fall in subscriptions and participation.
Were you here during the covid pandemic, when there were lots of threads telling people stuck in their homes because they couldn’t go out to work that they should take their government compensation check and spend it on tokens to buy the brutosaur mount? It was a pretty transparent marketing campaign.
You sound like you have a lot of experience in thise “watching the token market” game.
I’d love to hear your tips.
extrapolating that far with linear regressions is a very inaccurate thing.

dude, I aint even playing atm. but I’ll log in to do this haha. Then later on I’ll swim it like Sum McDuck. jeez that almost sounds offensive.
I just read the forums a lot, have been reading them for many years. I see what people complain about and sometimes make a mental note of it. I thought it was extremely unseemly to try to get people who were struggling to get ahold of supplies like toilet paper to purchase tokens to pay for a mount.
I got the mount by farming gold for months.
like right now? its selling like hot bread in winter.
