End of Lefion wow tokens were over 200k gold. It felt like a fair amount for $25 AUD.
Now?
112k last time i checked.
There must be a gazzilion carries happening atm and ppl are broke just paying for content with their IRL money.
the only token i bought was in WoD for 18k. they are far from the lowest they ever been now.

I buy tokens with gold to get shop stuff, so go ahead and keep tanking that price please.
I just finally got the SL pre-order with like 700k. It was beautiful.

i paid 18k gold for 1. and when a new expansion or other blizzard games are close to launching, the price spikes as people try to pay gold to buy the games.

Supply and demand my friend. It just means that there are more tokens in pool then people willing to purchase.
That’s a hot take, bud. I’m just philosophically opposed to buying gold, or paying for in-game things with real money.
You seem like an awful person.

The tokens initially could only be used for game time, so they didn’t really blow up until you could exchange from for Blizzard Balance.
As far as I can tell from wowtoken.info, they never got below 19k.

they did for a short time. thats when i bought mine, it was 18k and some change, i believe it even hit 17 for an even shorter time. i dunno when they take their snapshots, but for sure it was under 19k, and a friend who was trying to get me to play again during WoD, i told them only if it gets below 19k again… i didnt come back during WoD heh
I think blizz is doing it on purpose to deflate but could be wrong. I just wish I played more during garrisons so I could be rich.

gold was pretty easy in Legion. i had 12 alts at 110, and most of them had the 3 follower equipment for 50 gold extra on each, 150g total each WQ, and i ran a looooot of WQ’s back then! i think its tanking now for 2 reasons, 1. gold isnt as easy as it was in WoD and Legion. 2. subs are way down, meaning less people buying them for gold.
these are my guesses atleast. doesnt matter, the sub cost doesnt mean much to me so id rather keep my gold for the things i do want, like rare pets and stuff off the BMAH.

It’s literally just the Corona causing this.
More people have free time to play video games, these people who are joining thanks to this free time are likely more casual so they’re more willing to spend money for some gold in game to catch up.
It’s happening across other games with a similar system as well. Bonds in osrs have dropped from 5m to 3.5m since the quarantines really started back mid march.
I miss those prices. I managed to stay subbed all through WoD off of garrison management alone.

Part of the low price though was because you couldn’t trade tokens for bliz balance yet, only sub time and only up to a year.
If they allowed for blizz balance I would have 100% set up a few more garrisons for grinding token gold.
High point was actually 30k but yeah, pretty low.
That must have been when they first put them in, before players actually paid $ for them?
Who would have paid $20 for 18 K gold?
I haven’t since legion, when paying $20 got me 200 K.
Time = money. Pay irl money for token = paying instantly for farming + selling time. Its way too good for people who have busier schedules and dont have time to farm endlessly.
