Yeah, and neither are yours or the OP’s which is my point. All they have is opinions. They can’t provide one shred of evidence to support their idea that WoW Token is bad.

i like the idea of tokens, buy a token from blizz and get your gold, or go to a shady chinese website and get your account stolen/banned
if everyone buys tokens then gold sellers will die

I think the tokens ruined the integrity of the game. It took away a lot of the character of the game when it was introduced. All the benefits being listed in this thread seem like instant gratification conveniences that border on selfishness.

Most players don’t have access to anywhere near that much gold. Trying to pretend you are a “typical player” means you are clueless.
And since I never once said that “the wow token is bad”, that’s the lamest strawman argument usage I have ever seen.
But I certainly can see if you sell carries you’re probably incredibly excited about changes to the game that mean you’ll have the opportunity to convert that gold into hard cold cash.
I never said I am typical.
Never said you did.
Now you are just making up stupid 
.
YES. YOU. DID. You even went back and edited that post to change what you wrote when you responded to me directly. Lame, and a liar.
Not in the least. You’ll make 10 times in Shadowlands what you’re making in BfA spamming carries, due to increased demand and token sales.
Will no one be tempted to convert the gold they’re holding on many gold capped characters into income because raiders are so ethical? LOL.

whether I agree with the OP or not is completely immaterial.
the WoW token isn’t going anywhere.
Wrong, but thanks for the name calling.
I hope so, I mean I do like having lots of gold. I have always had lots of gold in the game even before the WoW Token came into existence.
Just because some people do unethical things doesn’t mean everyone does.
That is the whole point though. You should have to put the work in to get the gold not just be able to drop money and get what you want. That is a pay to win mechanic that Blizzard should have never put in the game. Ok you don’t have time for an MMO then don’t play said MMO because it is supposed to be about investing time in and getting what you work for…

So since i have a real life and not as much free time as YOU do, I shouldn’t have anything in the game? what? Totally disagree.
But since the Tokens exist - AND ALWAYS WILL - I win this debate
peace

I know several people in my guild wouldn’t be playing the game anymore if they couldn’t buy WoW Tokens with gold for WoW Time.

WoW is a p2w game now because of the tokens. Sure, people used to buy gold from sketchy websites, and sure people used to sell runs for gold, but it’s a different ball game now. It’s no longer considered cheating.
Now, buying gold is a service Blizz provides, and many guilds know this and sell runs to cater to people who will use that service. It’s encouraged by Blizzard.
Imagine a game that’s pay2win and pay2play. And buy2play because we still have to buy Shadowlands.

idk, i’d have to dig up the rules but i would assume this is meat as commercial advertisement. any group listing a group in the group finder is technically advertising their group. 
people selling boosts for gold have always existed. token only allowed the price to scale up.
I don’t sell tokens…yet. I got lucky a couple times and have a few million gold because of it.
But my wife and I are thinking of playing more seriously, and it would be so much easier to drop a hundred bucks on gold than to try and farm it up.
I have money. I don’t have time.
The exact opposite of my college days of WoW lol

I dunno that I’d place the blame on this only on tokens. AFAIK, tokens were introduced to try to improve the gold inequality which got out of hand in WoD. In-game millionaires could stop hoarding, and the have-nots could buy their way to a middle of the pack situation.
If that was the intent, it obviously didn’t pan out that way. There’s still a crazy amount of gold on the board every day if you use your in-game time well (the rep boost is an insane cash cow, I should be doing islands, I just can’t with that anymore) and that’s not counting the AH.
I think I’ve spent like, 4-5 million gold since the expansion started, on tokens and mounts mostly. I’ve made it all back - all with emissaries, paragon caches and tank cta queues.
The tokens certainly haven’t helped, but they weren’t the cause, afaik.
Of course they are. They have LITERALLY made the game PAY TO WIN.
PAY TO GET THE BEST BOES
PAY TO GET RAN THROUGH THE HARDEST CONTENT IN THE GAME AND GET ITS LOOT
PAY TO WIN PVP MATCHES
It’s literally a joke, and anyone who defends it is either a soyboy wage slave “ahuuurduurr I WERK 60 HOURS A WEEK A HURRDUUURRR” or someone who exploits the game to gain a profit off of it (multiboxers)
The fact that people even defend the system WHICH BLIZZARD MAKES EVEN MORE MONEY OFF OF shows how PATHETIC this community has become. Absolutely appalling. You people should be ashamed.

I remember when the RMAH was in Diablo3, man people were cashing out like crazy ( I made a nice sum ) $1000s of dollars just slipping through Blizzards fingers so they removed it. Few years later they put in a way for us to P2W in Wow but this time Blizzard is the one profferting.
It’s a shame tokens are in here but oh well.
Without the token you’d see an explosion of gold farming and dodgy sales/account thefts as people go to sources outside bliz to get their $ converted to gold.

I believe there are far more gold farmers and dodgy sales tactics now than ever, with every service and game available to buy with gold, It’s just not in the way we were used to seeing them ( bots ).
care to explain this logic?
multiboxing has become heaps more popular since tokens have existed.
a significant portion of multiboxers would cease to exist if they had to pay cash for their subs… so i don’t understand the point you’re trying to make?
