I don’t know if the value is different for each server, i’m a Kel’thuzad player, but lately, i’ve been noticing that the value of the WoW token has been decreasing dramatically, it was as valuable as 240,000 gold when I played in Shadowlands, now it’s down to 137,000. Does this have to do with the new expansion or something? I’m curious, I don’t really understand how this all works.
More people playing the game = more people buying tokens to sell = more people selling than buying. Price goes down as a result

Nah jk but supply and demand.
Token value is region-wide. But yes, as others have mentioned, it went down because of supply & demand.

This.
also shadowlands had some of the biggest gold faucets since warlords, by comparison dragonflights gold sources are -severely- nerfed.
with less gold entering the economy, and more players coming back that results in lower income per-player, and as a result a drop in token value (since people don’t have as much gold to spend on one.) and on the opposite side, more people buying tokens to make up for the (relatively) small gold trickle.
If there are 50 wow tokens on the market and 37 people with buy orders, the price will go down cuz not as much demand
If there are 38 tokens on the market and 50 orders to buy, the price will go up cuz more demand than supply
Because Blizzard lied about the WoW token’s Autopilot capabilities and they won’t stop tweeting just the stupidest stuff imaginable.
Token price is tied to how much gold is being generated compared to how much gold is being sunk. Right now we’re in raid progression, so gold is being sunk at a high. They also reduced the raw gold per day each char can generate from current content. Token price is being flogged from both sides. This is a good market to buy tokens for your gold. It is a bad market to buy your gold with tokens.
Token price will rise again as people stop wiping to raid bosses and as they add more content to the world to farm.
Oh, wait. I think I’m thinking of something else.
Buy low, sell high.
People want in-game gold now because the expansion is new, they need raid consumables, to pay crafters, and they haven’t bought all the gold-sink new items yet. When people are buying up in game gold with tokens, the gold value of tokens goes down.
When people don’t need gold anymore, either late in an expansion when they’re done getting the things they want and people aren’t actively raiding as much, or when the in-game economy goes unbalanced because there’s not enough uses for in-game gold, or when other Blizzard products come out that people want to convert their WoW gold to Blizzard balance for, the gold price of tokens go up.
At the beginning of an expansion, there’s a lot of EZ gold to be made for early adopters and first movers.
Those who reap those profits are selling them as tokens to pay for WoW and fluffy bunny mounts.
The price goes down because players are flush with gold and want to buy tokens, putting more tokens on the market, more than demand.
