WoW Token going up in price. amazing

[Sabetha-turalyon (Sabetha)]

@Wårio-area-52

it will be 300k+ by tomorrow morning
its already 290k

Anybody know the record high for the US region?

Maybe we can top it.

[Yamarãja-malganis]

I mean even classic which has a much more formal economy with less opportunity to buy resources effectively ends up P2W due to third party boosting and botting with lax enforcement by Blizzard. It is what it is at this point.

[Cursewords-tichondrius (Cursewords)]

I think there is a happy medium -

If I can buy the tokens around 300k each, maybe.

But if the Tokens stay above 300k til the new year…. I may just plunk down the old credit card.

It depends on the availability of tokens and a price point. I am willing to wait a few days to see how it works out

@Yamarãja-malganis

I prefer classic when there is a real economy

When has that ever happened? Oh that’s right, never.

[Yamarãja-malganis]

Eh there was in OG classic, 2019 for a few months more-or-less, and hardcore, but over time it fades.

Would I rather they had no P2W and strict enforcement of third party stuff? Sure, but they don’t and won’t, the game is what it is now. There’s pretty much no gaming company that wants to spend the resources necessary to effectively shut down third party people, and the economy has been how it is for so long in retail it can’t be fixed.

[Kaercha-area-52]

Why’s that? Money isn’t real.

[Ionfluxe-dalaran]

Buy one when it hit 300k. If by some reason it goes up to 500k I would buy another. Not going for the mount but you can never have enough gold sometimes.

[Amagicpotato-moon-guard]

Yea, the delusion of the classic community. Their economy is just as bad, if not worse.

@Cursewords-tichondrius

But if Blizzard is trying to make a gold sink to clear out the gold gathering dust in people’s banks since WoD…. this may be it

As I’ve explained elsewhere, that is NOT how a gold sink works.

Are people really this dense?

It isn’t doing a very good job at it then. You DO realize how the token works, right? Regardless of if the price is under 100K, 200K, or over 300K, that gold is STILL in the economy. Sure, Player A that’s trading gold for the token is losing gold, but that gold is now in Player B’s pocket. It doesn’t remove a damn thing. For it to be a true gold sink designed to remove gold from the game, it would need to be like the original mount. A vendor would need to be selling it at 5M gold. And yes, in…

Here’s the short version: in order for it to be a gold sink, the gold needs to be COMPLETELY REMOVED from the economy. When you buy an item from an NPC vendor or repair your gear, that straight up removes the gold from the game.

This? It’s literally just moving the gold from Player A to Player B. That gold still exists within the game, it’s just now on someone else’s account.

@Ylen-ragnaros

but but but this game is not p2w

I love any time someone tries to use tokens as p2w…

Y’all need to go play some f2p games and really experience what p2w means

Oh, you said something? And no one cared?

You must be shocked!

At any rate….

If they shadow back the tokens and they reap the gold, the gold is removed from the economy.

Blizzard can do it and has done it.

[Quivermethis-rexxar]

Sorry I can’t read your post… I’M BEING BLINDED BY YOUR PROFILE!

What the heck and how the heck did you manage that? I love it

[Thelei-stormrage]

I know it went over 400k, I just don’t know how much over.

I found it… 402,169 - October 9th 2023.

Screw it, at this point let’s see if we can take it to 500k.

[Aendriel-malganis]

@Amagicpotato-moon-guard

Maybe I’ll drop $20 and get a token once it hits like 300-400k.

It’s currently at 293K I think it will blow past 300K during the weekend as people rush into servers.

[Amagicpotato-moon-guard]

Hope so, I’d like to see it hit 400k+ before I drop dollars on a token.

[Quivermethis-rexxar]

Do I hear 600k?

Sounds like a nice $20 investment to me

[Amagicpotato-moon-guard]

That would be epic lol

[Sesamee-illidan]

Good! I can farm $20 irl waaaay easier than 200k in game. If it goes to 350k im buying a couple tokens to sell on the ah. Easy gold!

[Drcow-executus]

hell 10 i think is a waste to easy and fast to get to a AH, and or mail box.
