so you don’t have stats which state “half of your guild” does a thing, even though you’re claiming they do?
…but you expect people to take your word about created statistics, when you’re not willing to do the same?
i’m not even sure what you’re waffling on about at this point.
i don’t recall requesting any game changes.
It’s always been a thing yes, but it’s become mainstream only recently. Up until WotLK and arguably up until MoP/WoD the overwhelming majority of players didn’t have the gold to afford carries/boosts, and those buying gold to facilitate it were relatively few in number.
You know I am going to say that the token system really has helped in one key aspect you are forgetting.
It took power away from Gold spammers, and the hacking gold farmers that would steal accounts get them banned, and much more to the point its rare you even see a Gold sellers ad.
Go to PSO2 and you will see their chat littered with In-game Meseta currency advertisement sites.
Remove the token you will welcome those bastards back and then you will kill wow for sure.
Of Course perhaps you want the Gold sellers to come back. Perhaps you want to sell gold yourself… Gold Farmer is that you?
Think of this. That money is transferred from one player to the next, it’s not extra game producing gold. It’s not the same as someone buying gold that never existed. It wouldn’t hurt the economy.
Blizz wins here from having an extra 5 bucks plus person who handed over the gold spent game time making it, and they will have to, again. Healthy buisness keeps wow alive and if you’re enjoying the game, that should be important to you.
I’ve been getting a little over 2k gold from each calling on the beta. If that goes live, people won’t have to buy as many tokens just to afford repairs and transmog.
I doubt the Devs will be doing anything about it anytime soon. It’s making them a fortune on players who love to blow their Blizzcoins on HotS Lootboxes.
Sadly blizzard has been making the game more and more accessible to players who are willing to spend money to not play the game anymore
It’s pretty shocking on these forums, there is a stigma around any pay to win systems in MMOs being a horrible idea and yet we have so many defenders of said systems here
its a good thing the current discourse has not shifted to ‘token traders are leeches’ etc
right?
Cause the motivations now built into this game which exist to encourage people spending real life money, for gold. Have to exist, because you do not pay a sub.
Think about this. You could find the only people playing at the end, are not paying a cent.
