New ah mount is a cash grab from hell. It’s as if we haven’t paid them $1000s of dollars in sub fees. They finna get this wow gold or nothing.

They get more money from token sales than they do from straight up 90 dollar payments.
Trust me, they’d rather you pay with gold.

Token values at the shop are steadily rising. I wouldn’t be surprised if they hit 750k gold by this weekend.

I just bought one but it didn’t show up in my mailbox. About a minute later I got the money back with the subject “Auction house error” And now there is a timer restricting how fast I can attempt to purchase a token.

You can’t buy them cause people are buying them out way faster than people are spending real money to get and sell them. It’s basic supply and demand. The demand is way bigger than the supply right now.
Under no circumstance would blizzard try to “force” you to spend 90 bucks when they can instead get a nice fast 120 bucks for the same purchase. (Potentially 140 if you live in a state that charges sales tax on digital goods)

Bots keep buying them and driving up the price. So Blizz is waiting til they devalue, and then force uses or sales.
thats what im waiting for. then ill buy a token or 2.

In the meantime mats prices are falling because everyone is out of gold from buying tokens. So stock up on mats while they’re cheap.

They dont get the tax money, but they DO get the money that went towards purchasing that seventh token you need to cover the taxes with bnet balance.
Blizzard balance isn’t real money or credit, I’m not sure if it’s legal to tax off of a balance purchase, they’d tax on purchasing raw balance with money, no?
im gonna enjoy seeing the token for 600k , buy the token and it insta sells for me 550k
It’s a state by state basis. Some states don’t add taxes to purchases in the bnet store, but some like mine do, and that includes purchases made using bnet balance. It makes buying items with wow tokens a real headache sometimes, because the extra taxes will push the cost just high enough that another token is needed to cover it if I don’t want to spend my own money to do so.
Players: The gold market in WoW is a SCAM, Blizzard just dumps as much free gold into it as they want to ruin the economy and manipulate the market! You don’t REALLY believe that you’re buying the gold from a real person, do you?
Also Players: What do you mean the token is SOLD OUT?? Can’t they just make more?

How do they sell out of tokens?
Are there actual physical tokens that they run out of to sell?
players buy the tokens to sell

The tokens you exchange gold for are from other players who bought those same tokens for 20 bucks in order to trade for gold. So they can sell out of the tokens that you can buy with gold, because that supply is set by players, not blizzard.

You misunderstand. They aren’t sold out of tokens as a concept the AH is out of them.
A token can only be sold on the AH if it’s been bought with real money, they’re not running a charity.
The tokens bought on the app are infinite. Those on sale on the AH are not.

Every token being sold was bought by another player with cash. They are paying Blizzard cash for your gold. If they sell out of tokens, that means that not enough people have bought one with cash for you to have.

Pretty sure you can’t flip the tokens. You can only sell them if you bought them from the store.
