They make more money when people use tokens to sub.
$20 token > $15 or less

The problem with the gold to cover the sub cost theory is that you canâ pay for a subscription with gold. You can buy a token with gold, but that token still has to be paid for with some form of currency other than game gold. So, regardless of how much gold a person can farm, it is still the same hard currency paying for the token. They do not make anymore money banning them, they could actually lose money when people stop the practice, and then they donât buy the tokens since there is no demand.
Tokens are not free - someone used money to purchase it. They make more money allowing it. This is not a money issue.
Theyâre trying to reduce the efficacy of automated botting while still allowing people to MB
This is hilarious if true. We should get the world first raiders to camp Silvermoon and all refuse to enter the new raid until they update the zone and put in flying.

They didnât change anything, but converted us to hardware that does the same exact thing.
I think it was all of those key players at Blizzard leaving within the last few months.
tokens are still being bought in the same quantity, they didnt axed the offer, just reduced the demand that will reflect in the price, not the quantity. So if that is the case then MB really didnt affect the earnings of blizzard, and destroying the automated methods to do it its just a good decition to the game enviroment.
th tokens are still being bought at USD 20 at the same rate, MB werent the ones that bought tokens, axeing the quantity of MB dont affect the offer of tokens, just the demand of it, it reduces the value of them in gold because lower demand, but seems like blizzard made its calculations and saw that MB werent enough to drive the bussines down by a noticeable %, so they werent representative to the calculations.

supposedly botters which blizzard had discovered how to detect had started using keyclone software as part of its approach to circumvent detection. So in order to get botters, boxers ended up a casualty in the never ending war.
If this theory is true, itâs unlikely to be about leveling time, more to do with maintaining progress in endgame systems so they can swap at will with no real penalty. The kind of thing thatâs timegated, as opposed to knocking out leveling in a day because youâre not working.

Multiboxers.
I assume they have a bunch of data that pointed to the software being a problemâŚmost likely a security issue. As they didnât ban multiboxing, just the software that enables it, I suspect it is a potential security flaw. The same software that enables multiboxing can be used for other more nefarious purposes (and, if Blizzard is actually DOING something, probably was). I doubt it has anything to do with complaints and everything to do with security risk.
Even hardware has to have software to support it.
Changes to multiboxing are a part of the devsâ continuing plan to eliminate all alternative styles of gameplay. If you are doing anything more than raiding>mythic+>chores, you are playing the game wrong and will be stopped.

Probably more aimed at botters tbh.
No theyâre losing rl money in selling tokens⌠Hence these multiboxerâs a certain Country paid people to do this as a rl job and sell their gold to their own kind and on the Black Market⌠Hence Blizzard losing money. This game is bleeding subs if you ask me plus budget cuts 1200 workers we know off! what about the ones we donât know off? hence the mess this game is atm and they donât know how to fix or the resources either now. That my opinion and mine aloneâŚ
No. They make $5 free every time someone buys a token for gametime. Tokens are a big part of their profit model. The rest of the money comes from that guy who paid $20 to get in-game gold from the sale of that token to buy consumables or a carry to get gear he needed.
If they were losing money on token sales, theyâd stop it. But theyâre making a huge amount of money on them, so they wonât.
