WoW Tokens aren't worth it to buy anymore. They're so cheap

So 112k gold is now suddenly a lot?

To who? Maybe me who legit was a new player.

But now if I wanted to get that stupid caravan brutosaur? That one that costs 5000000?

5000 / 112 = ~44.64

So 45 WoW tokens.

Or in CAD 45 * $25 = $1,125

OVER ONE THOUSAND FREAKING DOLLARS FOR A MOUNT.

YOU. MUST. BE. FREAKING. KIDDING. ME.

As a newer player I am fully convinced these people are genuine whales or massive botters.

Isn’t the gold price going down BECAUSE so many people are buying tokens with dollars and selling them for gold?

(Maybe to try and get a brutosaur?)

Working as intended.

Its called supply and demand. 5 mill can be gotten pretty easily if you know what you are doing

You’re a newer player, so I’ll drop some knowledge.

The WoW token is based on supply and demand. The more people which buy them with gold, the higher the cost. We are in a content drought though, which means people are taking breaks because BFA is over and done. Couple that with the expansion not having been that fun to begin with and we’re seeing the drop off earlier than one might expect.

This is nothing new. The token will go up again as we near Shadowlands. If you want the brutosaur, you should take the time to actually make gold in game through things like playing the AH.

Good I hope it goes even lower to like what it was when it first came out in the 25-50k I believe?

If it makes you feel better, it’s more if you pay in USD. They’re $20 USD which translates to $900 USD total or ~$1263.93 CAD.

It scales to supply and Demand. with those new checks people are receiving it without a doubt they are spending it on the wow tokens.

Perhaps even with the China also joining the WoW token industry.

Well yeah, if you are using money to buy gold, then yeah, you’re getting a raw deal.

But for those of us that do it the other way around… this is great. I can buy services pretty cheap right now.

If I wasn’t also saving up for the mount, I’d probably move the rest of my toons I’ve been trying to move.

You don’t need the dinosaur mount. Just stop caring and you will feel better.

I dunno, the checks have been out for a couple weeks now (direct deposit was out first) and I haven’t seen the price move much since then.

Somehow I don’t think it will ever get that low again :laughing: but it may dip below 100k again.

Token value is down because more people are buying gold vs people buying tokens for time.

Don’t worry, if it gets too low the 1% of WoW will max out their BNet Balance and all will be balanced.

That’s not really how it works. Blizzard doesn’t control the value of the WoW token, they are controlled by the community. When more people buy them on the shop, the value decreases, and when more people buy them from the AH the value increases. Back in WoD they weren’t even worth over 20k. They’re still worth buying if you need quick gold. Otherwise, wait until prepatch/the release of Shadowlands and they’ll go back to 150k.

Also, it’s you’re own fault for even thinking it’s worth buying enough for the AH mount. They aren’t meant for that purpose, so complaining about it isn’t on Blizzard.

I am not 100% sure either. I suspect it have something to do with the Brutasour or the recent WoW Tokens being sold in china, it could perhaps be from multiple sources.

Yeah I imagine closer to the expansion you’ll see it rise, as people will use gold for tokens to pay for it.

Why do you keep using this meme?
