If the game requires people to buy gold every week in an attempt to catch up, doesn’t that become a retaining players issue?

Why do we have to buy gold ever week?
Care to be more specific? If you are talking about enchants, consumables, etc, they are expensive because the expansion just started…
Xpac just started, prices are always ridiculous at the start.

Saw a pattern going for 1 million gold for a ring?
Prices will calm down for a lot of stuff as time goes, for the most part. I do expect things like flasks and craftables to go up in price as right now there’s not much use for them. Which is when I will make all my gold 
If it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. Make it instead.
Reduced demand and more competition will eventually bring the prices down.
If you just buy WoW tokens every time you can’t afford a consumable, you will just perpetuate the high prices further.

That’s really not that high for this early in the x-pack. And if it’s a good ring, crafters will easily make that back plus a lot more.
Tip for you OP, Tuesdays is Raid day, so consumables will be expensive, always use guildies or buy at weekend when most of the noobs post low priced stuff.
That’s how it tends to go when only a few of a recipe are “in the wild” so far for the thousands of crafters who might want it. The possibility of being the first to take advantage of something rare and desired tends to inflate value a bit.
It’s kind of like how the Garn Nighthowl from WoD was selling for ~50k when that expansion launched, it was tricky to get without help, and it was the first “Draenor Wolf” people had access to so it stood out. Nowadays you’d be lucky to get 1k for it.
Imma stay away from purchasing too much for a bit. I learned my lesson after spending a bunch. But the gathering professions be making some good gold right now if you need some. I’d recommend selling for now.
Why not just go to a server where stuff is cheaper. Put some gold in your warband bank. Send a alt to the server. Buy stuff. Then put it in your warband bank?
Early expansion is always a bunch of greedy goblins trying to out-goblin each other.
So don’t buy it.
Problem solved.
Welcome to the first few weeks of every expansion ever
weak troll bait
That pattern isn’t meant for you. The players who will likely buy it (if it aids in progress) are going to be your high end mythic raiders who have many millions of gold stashed away.
I’ve never ever bought gold and never ever have any problems playing at any level. Sounds like you have a problem.
That was Lariat for the whole Dragonflight FYI.
