Oh I don’t know, any suggestion?
I don’t farm gold, but I might buy a pair of tokens if they go below 100K to do a server transfer for an alt. Keep bringing those prices down!
Also, please don’t buy that brutosaur with real money. Its just not worth it, this is coming from someone who knows they can impulse buy things sometimes.

I can’t figure out what I wanna name mine once I get it (Was 1.7M 24 hours ago, now 2.05M, I should get it in time!)
But he’s Chonkie, so maybe that.

The token is priced by supply and demand. If you do not buy the tokens they will slowly go up in price. So either it is being artificially lowered by blizzard or it is that many people are buying tokens with real money.
Something we agree on, Yesuna.

i waste all my gold on transmogs and heirlooms, never had enough for 1 token
poor gang
Is long boi being removed? Why is everyone in a rush to buy it?
I’m not inclined to dump 5m gold and weeks of my time just for an auctioneer dinosaur.
Thats why the gold sellers are coming back. I think this is what Blizzard wanted. Already seeing lots of gold selling adds on Facebook and all over online.
They’ll go back up towards the start of the xpac like the always do. Remember that token prices are based on the player economy, and we’re in the post-xpac content drought.
Holy. I thought it would come around to 500-600 USD in wow tokens.
Well, I guess that just confirms I’m never going to get longboi
Not unless some posh looking fella just decides gives me mountains of gold out of the goodness of their heart.
I mean that could always happen, right? …right?
Yes; well kinda. It’s being removed from it’s vender in the Shadowlands prepatch, but will still be available on the Black Market Auction House.
Supply and demand, the price will go down only when people are buying tokens with real money. Conversely, if no one is buying tokens from the AH, the price will also go down. If people are buying tokens off the AH then the price will go up, unless more people are buying them with real world money than off the AH.
So what you said was half right. If the supply is low and the demand is high, that will drive up the gold value. Right now, it’s the opposite. The supply is high and the demand is low, therefore it drives down the price.
People buying tokens, with 20USD, want gold (probably for carry runs or brutosaur). They are flooding the market with tokens, which leads to undercutting because they want THEIR token sold quickly. If other players aren’t purchasing the tokens off of the AH at a fast enough rate, THIS is what drops the gold value of the token.
Basically, you have a ton of people flooding the AH tokens, that were bought with cash, and you don’t have a lot of people buying the tokens off of the AH. This can be for a number of reason, players already have a ton of gold farmed up or the playerbase is smaller due to the content being over with and people taking breaks.
I mean I’d never buy gold from these gold sellers. Blizz can check my account, I’m too poor to even be on the radar for that LOL.
But like honestly I can see the appeal of it for sure for some.
$25 for only 100k gold? MEH. That’s horrible.

As a newer player it’s understandable you’re not only still ignorant of how the WoW economy works, but you’re also sadly ignorant of the extent of your own ignorance.
It’s easy to make money early in an expansion, and as the expansion nears it’s end money making becomes progressively more difficult. I’ve made over 10 million gold this expansion from upping the quality of battle pets, leveling and selling them. However half of that was made in the first month, it took a year to make another 5 million, and now it’s rare to sell any pets at all.
Nobody needs to buy expensive mounts in WoW. Anyone thinking a 5 million gold mount is worth buying tokens for is showing they still lack financial responsibility, and should probably donate the money instead to their mother as back-payment for rent of the basement.

“Easy” doesn’t mean “quick”.
My personal way of making gold is to buy crafting materials, turn them into food, pots, flasks, etc, and sell that at a profit.
And it makes me gold. It’s reasonably quick, I probably sell about 70-80% of what I make near instantly, even if I craft in bulk, on a raid night, and that’s usually enough to keep me in raid consumables and repair. But it wouldn’t make me enough to get a Brutosaur in a week, I’d need to keep at it for a long time to get to the 5 mill mark.
Most of the genuinely quick ways are either risky, or just outright difficult. Selling carries in M+ or Raids is probably out of reach for a newer player, and trying to flip high ticket items, whether it be gear, mounts, pets, etc, can backfire and either lose you money, or take an incredibly long time to sell.
There is no magic bullet for getting 5 mill gold from scratch quickly, not unless you wanna spend a grand on tokens at least.
100k gold is still alot to me too … unless you run the AH or farm old raids with 10 toons every week/every month, you can’t be bringing more than MAYBE a couple thousand gold a day on WQ/etc. If you ARE, then maybe this game is more than a job to some of us? As a casual I (without trying) probably bring in about 1k gold a day.
