From a seller’s perspective I don’t think you get a lot of gold for 20 bucks. I mean, it’s what, 370k or so? That hardly buys you much of anything of value in WoW these days.
And on the flip side, from a buyer’s perspective those 370k gold are not so easy to come by anymore, so that battlenet balance or subscription time is pretty hard earned.
So no. The in-game economy, which the token reflects, doesn’t feel very favorable to the player currently.
Start of tier alone people spend around a million. Consumables can chunk a lot of gold, so do wipes, and stuff like mounts cost a lot. Gear wise 370k is like one mythic BoE, maybe two.
Everything is so expensive in this expansion, its wild how little value one token for 20 euros is. 300k gold in this expansion is nothing when one starts gearing characers
what are you buying that needs tokens? i have 3 chars i play on for m+ and raids and use best enchants and i am still ok for gold after buying all my consumable’s it sounds like you waste your gold tbh or lazy and do not bother questing.
I crafted bis and bought sockets and enchants for 4 chars now and ran out the 300k so fast what I got from one token, I feel I need to have keener eye on the departure announcement threads now to go ask for their gold
Each start of an expansion things are getting expensive and token drops. People prefer buying gold rather than farming. That’s the reason that herbs/mining was that expensive and tokens were so cheap.
It will have an uptick next seasons at the start, but nothing on that scale. Next time you can do that is at the start of next expansion probably.
Lowest (gold) price is always a few weeks after a new season starts in a new expansion and the highest is just before a new expansion comes out (or they launch a new brutosaur mount ).
In between, it peaks just before a new season and dips after it starts, so plan your buying/selling around that.
Is there a wealth of new content for people to do in the game?
Does the new content have/need any new resource that people can farm and sell?
If both of those are true, then that means that people would prefer to play the game rather than farm, and would rather pay gold to circumvent the farming. That is the perfect time to farm/make gold.
No one is going to sell tokens for €20 each if it’s not going for a decent amount of gold. The lowest you’ll see with today’s gold inflation is 270k… it averages at 340k.
