I got 402164 for mine. Well worth it.
Yeah ok, why dont i just ask my wisdom crystal while im at it.
The next raid tier will hopefully make it go down. Raiders are the gold sinks. Unless they already stocked for now.
Just because I know youâre too lazy:
Q: How much gold will I receive when I sell a WoW Token?
A: The gold value of a Token is determined dynamically based on supply and demand. When you put a Token up for sale, youâll be quoted the amount of gold youâll receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after your Token has been sold.

Weird. Thats what the crystal said, too.
I mean, unless you have an official source to prove otherwise then by all means, youâre welcome to share it 
What, my crystal? Slim chance, pal.

Absurd answer. Nobody even said they cant afford it,but why pay if we have the option not too? I have not spent cash on the game in years. Plus WOW is for poor people too,not everyone has moms credit card on hand.

Curiosity questionâŚ
Has anyone ever placed a token up on auction and NOT had it sell?
Why itâs absurd?
I see some people complaining they have to play the game like a job (40h+) to get the 400k required for 1 month of play, my polite guess is that if they canât buy it with money then they should be working to better out their lives before farming virtual gold. I wasnât dictating how everyone should spent their time or if itâs fair or not, just giving my point of view.
Gold hint: At this moment (because as soon as people discover it would inflate the price too) you can play LK classic and farm gold to buy the token there and add game time. It canât be used to generate bnet balance tho.

Agreed. If someone canât afford $15 a month then they have much more important things than WoW to worry about.

Obviously, but if thatâs the going rate and you click sell 10 seconds after your buy it, the price will be the same 99% of the time. Not sure why you are teying to argue about something that isnât even the point.
The point is, they shut off token auction sales, but didnât shut off buying tokens for cash.
The fact that the price moves is a given. If i were to buy a token, i would prefer to sell the token.
Some players hang on a bit to watch price hoping price will go up.
Youâre assuming they knew about the problem from the start of said problem. They had about a half an hour where they should have shut both down. That half hour you Could blame them for but everything else not really

It will always sell. From what I understand, if a player doesnât purchase then Blizzard will. Personally I think they âcover the differenceâ if itâs sold at the current, lower amount.
Of course this is complete speculation on my part.
You have made that crystal clear!

Thatâs what I believe as well. This is probably where some folks may get the idea that Blizzard is âselling goldâ.
Which, in that specific case, may essentially be true.

Hello, I see you replied to the thread. Haha, they do sell gold! Take for example the recent 400k thing! The people that were listing at 400k were locked into getting 400k BUT soon after, the price started dropping! The people buying were paying less gold for a token but the sellers were still getting 400k! That means, whatever the difference, was completely generated out of thin air, haha!
Thanks for your post and have a great day!
The token was a mistake. Of all the things that have damaged game integrity, the token is #1

I think thatâs more because they donât have an efficient way of making gold that doesnât take extreme amounts of time. Itâs only upsetting because the tokens is substantially more than when DF started, which creates an ever growing total you need to reach. It was barely 200k, now itâs almost doubled. Most of us, we can afford to pay, but something clicks in us that makes us believe that somehow farming the gold is better than spending a whole hour of our paycheck. Itâs not but for some reason I continue to do it. So since I go the hard headed route, it gets slightly annoying watching the price nearly double. Itâs not gonna prevent the majority of us from playing, itâs more just slightly annoying, not a huge deal. And itâs not just the whole not wanting to spend cash for the sub, as token prices rise, so does a number of items on the ah to make up for it, therefore putting people that already paid cash n just want some upgrades or stuff like that in a position where they have to farm more just to play. The only people that win from the constant rising cost are those that can afford to just buy tokens whenever they want, that are now getting almost 400k for 20 bucks.

Can you cite that study and elaborated on the methodology.
