the rmt was there before lol.
and many former token buyers if like me, never stepped foot in raid. GDKP or otherwise. Our gold went to NPC vendor sales.
It got me a char or 2 artisan flying , dual spec and a massive training catch up since i level only 1 spec. I saw the 10K tokens on release day lol.
In the case of my hunter that was BM. Great leveling spec. But my end game spec is MM. Even said wth…lets get SV done to give that a go.
SV was alot of start up cost as the BM leveling build used no SV skill tree.
