If you buy a wow token from battlenet for $$$ when you place on AH you always receive your gold regardless if your token sells or not.
If the demand for in game gold is larger then the demand of wow token purchases by people using gold earned through playing then wow tokens add gold to the economy and create gold inflation. Hope that makes sense friend’s.
I thought that as well. They sell regardless so where does the gold come from? Seems to me like gold is added to the economy.
Exactly the gold is added by blizzard into the economy.
This same debate happened in retail. Most people had no idea how wow tokens actually worked and then we got this disaster.
If the classic community wants whales… streamers and bot swarms to control the farming market and make carries $20 a pop then let them have it.
Memes over issues that effect the community FTL.
Go figure… sheep fall for the same propaganda as last time and let wow tokens ruin the community.
You know the opposite is also true, right? If you put your token up and the price increases by 20%, then someone is paying 20% more but you’re still only getting the original value.
Tokens don’t work that way. You get the paid what the token is worth at the moment you place it on the market
When you put a Token up for sale, you’ll be quoted the amount of gold you’ll receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after another player purchases your Token.
If you put a token up and the price of tokens goes up before yours sells, then someone is paying more and you’re still only getting the amount you were quoted when you put it up. In this case, that extra gold they paid is deleted from the economy.
Am I missing something or no?
Yes you are missing something. You are guaranteed the amount you will receive the moment you hit enter on the AH posting with token. You receive the gold promised at that time. I hope that makes sense friend… all I want is for people to know what actually happens when you buy a token from battlenet. You never get promised a certain amount of gold and then that amount changes… Hope that makes sense friend.
Don’t let wow tokens ruin the classic community.
You’re not reading what I’m typing.
You put the token on the AH, you get the amount of gold instantly? Okay, I didn’t know that; the FAQ states otherwise. That doesn’t have an impact on what I’m saying anyways.
What happens when you put the token up and the person who buys your token does so when the price on the AH has increased by 20%? They pay 20% more for a token and you’ve already got the gold. That means their gold, including the 20% extra they paid for your token is deleted from the economy, just like the BMAH.
Blizzard is simply acting as the broker. And sure, there are some liberties taken to insure a smooth transition between gold and $$$. Imagine buying a token and it doesn’t sell for days because the price keeps dropping.
It’s very possible to make an algorithm that will take supply and demand into account to smooth out the price over time and avoid weird drops or spikes.
Your not reading my proper response. You get locked in on the gold price the moment you hit enter. If the price changes in the mean time you still get the same amount of gold. Hope that makes sense friend
I’m sorry you’re having such an difficult time comprehending what I’m saying.
Yes.
Yes.
Now, if the price of the token goes up by the time your token sells, where does that extra gold go? If you get locked in at 80k, and your token sells for 100k. Then 100k is deleted from the game.
Understand?
Also:
You don’t get the gold immediately from what I can tell. The way it works is, you get quoted an amount (say 80k) and when your token sells, you get the 80k. Even if the token sells for 60k or 100k.
TL;DR: Sometimes gold is created, sometimes gold is deleted.
Everyone except for silentpane understands
I understand friend in just trying to explain in a simple version… heads up if the price of token goes up after the moment you hit enter to place on AH you get that amount. What happens to the price of token beyond the moment you agreed to sell and the time it actually sold is irrelevant .you agreed to a price when you hit enter.
I hope in an making sense friend’s
Nope. Up to 12 hours.
