The reasons why i believe that the wow token would be beneficial for SoD

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Glinda-lava-lash

They canned the entire esports team two years ago.

yeah blizzard just finished their first Arena World Championship Cup yesterday for the new pvp season.

We will also be getting an MDI for this season as well.

@Arkael-crusader-strike

just like it did WoTLK.

Wotlk is doing fantastic and i am thoroughly enjoying myself there.

@Arkael-crusader-strike

The way you want to play the game negatively affects the way I want to play the game, but not vise versa. I wonder which way is better?

i think you misunderstood because the way i play the game does not affect you one bit in any way, shape, or form.

What if i said that i don’t want to play with free to play players because it negatively impacts my experience on SoD… Free to play players don’t have the same drive to succeed as those who would purchase the wow token and i don’t want to play with players who are unmotivated.

@Crunchatizme-feathermoon

i agree. wow token should set gold price ceiling which would remove a ton of botting activity. combine that with current detection measures and gold-sink bans and you have practically solved rmt in classic

There is literally the wow token in WOTLK and in Retail and there are bots and illegal gold every where its 1/4th the price.

If this is your take you should have your account taken away honestly.

[Xurf-grobbulus]

okay still trolling I see, well gl with your ban appeal

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Deathsbounty-area-52

i have not seen any bots in wotlk or retail.

[Deathsbounty-area-52]

Yep. Muted + blocked. Not worth even responding to that idiotic take.

[Arkael-crusader-strike]

Are you just trolling or stupid? WoTLK is dead. I walked through Dalaran on Faerlina yesterday and it was a ghost town. Nothing but GDKPs and boosts in the chat aswell. You seem a little slow so I’ll go nice and slow and spell it out for you. Gold is one of the key parts of classic. Classic raids and PvP are all consume based. A lot of key items such as edgemasters are purchased with lots of gold. Therefore, having a large amount of gold is very beneficial. If you can buy gold with money in real life money it’s going to give you a huge advantage over those who do not. So basically if you add the wow token everyone who isn’t buying the token to fuel their characters will be behind the curve.

Token+gdkp=p2w

The main problem of rmt, is its direct link to gdkp, which allows players to get end game gear in exchange of gold.

Token would only formalize/legalize the pw2 feature in end game pve.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Arkael-crusader-strike

Therefore, having a large amount of gold is very beneficial.

well, see, the thing is that anyone who would purchase a wow token gets the exact same gold that you would get from farming, so there is no “unfair advantage” that is provided by the wow token.

people can buy a wow token and get gold… you can farm gold and get the same gold.

you can use your farmed gold to buy the same items as a person who received gold from purchasing a wow token.

@Arkael-crusader-strike

If you can buy gold with money in real life money it’s going to give you a huge advantage over those who do not

no that’s not true… the gold received from the wow token is not special or different… it is the same gold as one would get from farming murlocs in theramore.

@Leitteira-faerlina

Token+gdkp=p2w

actually wow is not pay 2 win, yesterday a poster explained this very well, so i’ll quote that so you can read it:

@Hwanwok-ysera

To pay to “win” in retail wow, is to rely on other players who played the game normally and have already the gear and cleared the content by playing the game normally so really what is this whale that buying WoW tokens to get 480+ gear from carries “winning” exactly?

@Hwanwok-ysera

@Stormwolf-khaz-modan

Chase DeVisa buys all his gear within the first weeks of an Xpac/Patch/Phase and is just decked out in everything including every single applicable consume no matter how ridiculous it is to get.

Which that relies on other players to get the gear for you and which at the start of an expansion/season/phase which carry sales wont start till the people doing the carrying got the gear through playing the game.

Not a good barney level example you provided me.

there ya go, have a lovely day

[Xurf-grobbulus]

i’ve reported so many of these troll posts that it won’t let me do it anymore, so hopefully it gets banned soon

[Ronstantine-faerlina]

@Arkael-crusader-strike

Terrible idea, likely the worst I’ve seen on these forums yet.

I’ve seen much worse.

[Arkael-crusader-strike]

I get you have a lukewarm IQ but Jesus how can you be this dense? Not everyone wants to spend real money on gold. Everyone who plays the game should have to earn that money IN GAME. Being able to spend 5 minutes and make the same amount of gold as someone who spent 8 hours grinding by swiping your credit card is an unfair advantage.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Arkael-crusader-strike

Being able to spend 5 minutes and make the same amount of gold as someone who spent 8 hours grinding by swiping your credit card is an unfair advantage.

actually buying a wow token and obtaining gold from that is not an unfair advantage mainly because the wow token gives you the same gold that you would get from farming it in game.

if you buy a wow token, you just get normal gold.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Sanwarro-ragnaros

Wow is one of the Best mmos because rmt doesn’t give a real advantage

yes this is exactly what i believe as well.

the gold that a player would receive from purchasing a wow token is the same gold in-game that can be farmed.

it really doesn’t give any advantage

What

ok so when a person buys a wow token, they receive in-game gold, correct?

is the gold that a person receives from the wow token any different than the gold farmed in game?

no, it is the same. the wow token’s gold allows players to purchase the same things that every other player can buy with gold…

the wow token’s gold is not special currency that grants access to extra powerful equipment or consumes… a person who purchases the wow token only has access to the same items in-game that a player who farmed their gold would have.

[Santi-lava-lash]

@Bulakzebgor-faerlina

is the gold that a person receives from the wow token any different than the gold farmed in game?

If the person farming in the game can not farm a WoW Token’s worth of gold in an hour, then they are at an inherent disadvantage to anyone who instead uses that time to work an hour or two of overtime at their job instead and earns at least $20 an hour.

Which… I do.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Santi-lava-lash

then they are at an inherent disadvantage

nope, the person who farms their gold in-game are in the same spot as a person who purchases a wow token.

the wow token gold doesn’t give an advantage over the in-game gold that is farmed.

[Santi-lava-lash]

@Bulakzebgor-faerlina

the wow token gold doesn’t give an advantage over the in-game gold that is farmed.

So you think the average person farming gold is bringing in 260k per hour?

Because that’s the only way this statement holds true.

[Bulakzebgor-faerlina]

@Santi-lava-lash

So you think the average person farming gold is bringing in 260k per hour?

it’s the exact same gold…there is no difference between the wow token gold and farmed gold.

[Santi-lava-lash]

@Bulakzebgor-faerlina

there is no difference

Time is the difference. Time IS money.
