I know why these are here, sole reason is to try to limit or remove gold sellers, which never works but gives players an in game legitimate way of 'purchasing' gold.
I think though that they need to be changed in how they work.
Over the last week I have seen quite a number of players trying to quickly sell stuff they have to get gold for their token purchase as they have limited days left before they need to resubscribe.
There are then those who were begging for stuff because they just spent all their gold on a new sub, all of this could just be a ruse by players to try and scam others into buying useless crap and giving stuff away for free, none of use but the account holder and Blizzard know 100% how much in game gold they have, what sub they have left or anything.
Only the player themselves knows what their intentions are, the fact I just purchased over 200 BfA green items for 125g each (at any given time there may be half a dozen cheaper than that on the AH) shows that some players really do need quick cash.
But if they are all legitimate in trying to make quick cash for a token, or have no gold left because they just brought one, maybe Blizzard needs to ensure you have a bare minimum gold in your bags before you can buy a token.
Think about it, you just spent your last gold on a token, great that you can play again for the next month, but what happens when you hit your next dungeon, or your next raid, your repair bill may end up more than what you have on you, than what?
Stop being nice to beggars?
I can't imagine how playing that way would be fun. It would add so much stress to the game. This is why I pay the sub fee, to be stress free.

They can do what a ton of people still do, pay 15$ a month instead.
They can go pick some herbs up or DE some unwanted gear they got from previous raids/dungeons.
I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to point out, people should have safeguards from themselves from bad spending habits?

I've never seen so much text go nowhere.
Its not really anyone's problem except the individual making the decision. If they wanna go broke buying a token, that's their risk to take, their wep or armor breaks in dungeon or raid and they cant or wont repair it, kick them, they made their bed, they can lay in it.
If they wanna guilt you into doing things for them, one of the worst things you could do is enable them, particularly if you have a problem with them spending all their gold, your just perpetuating the cycle.
Most gold beggars are scammers/conmen, they want something from you for nothing in return, just ignore them. Save your time, energy and resources for people you know and care about. /shrug.

Listing bfa greens isn't exactly an apt example even if you have a valid argument going on.
Do not underestimate how some people just detest the auction house and prefer player to player interaction for sales. Even if, at a much lower than market value transaction.
Just like there are players who herb plenty... hoard immense amounts then sell in bulk at fire sale rates even if... the items in question are very movable.

Tell them to get a job and get off your lawn.
Seriously though, just ignore them. Whether it is legit or not, it is their issue, not yours
If I pooled my gold could I buy a token? Yes. Would that hurt me and make me stressed? Yes
But it is my choice.
And for the record I have a personal per toon minimum before I buy a token haha.

Very true, i did this a lot in BC and Wrath, mostly sold to guildmates. Knowing full well that they in turn put them on the AH. Just didn't like the AH back then, probably because i didn't have the addons for mass buying/selling and market trends.
We just had two expansions give you free gold for logging in 2-5 minutes a day, per character; why you didn't take advantage of it, I don't really know. My game time is paid off until April 2020 and I still have 1 million gold left over without ever playing the AH game. I haven't paid $$$ for a subscription since the WoW token came out.
