again another who seems to not understand what token does… you buy token for real money and someone has to BUY IT FROM YOU FOR GOLD… he gains gold you loose gold from the economy so nothing will change… AND as bonus it makes goldsellers and bots dissapear over time and allows people to play for free… its BIG WIN for wotlk but i guess streamers told you how to think and not use your own brain… its sad
Dont be a d*ck acting as if I dont know what the wow token does. I know gold doesnt get artificially pumped into the game and the token is bought with gold that is already in circulation. But that still does not negate the fact that with this system Blizzard introduces a pay to win system, you can buy yourself into the game, which is never a good thing, it defeats the entire purpose of an mmorpg… And before you start the same old crap about people that are already buying gold from goldsellers and getting boosted that way, let me tell you that if that is the problem, regulating it doesnt solve it, making a move on bot accounts, goldsellers and punishing people who actually buy gold will.

this literally makes goldsellers less over time while not introducing gold into the economy like goldsellers does. so if token can diminish this its overall very positiv… another take… what pay2win… show me players who p2w and those who farm and buy it with their own gold… and p2w for what exactly? its not esport, its not items exclusiv to shop so literally no pay2win what others dont have… again someone will get gold and other looses it… it literally does nothing but help economy over all to diminish goldsellers and bots and allows people to play for free
i see it as big win
And you seem to love Spamming that generic message over and over. For the record outside of Bots that pickpocket/kill mobs for gold the gathering, arena etc bots also don’t magically inject gold into the game. They get it from selling crafting materials/drops on AH since it’s more efficient. Ergo taking and accumulating gold that was already in the game.

I’ve seen the “times change so the game changes aswell” arguement countless times aswell. But guess what, thats the whole point of classic, to have a classic experience without any changes. If you want change, thats what retail is for.

understand… but micro changes were happening since classic to tbc and now wotlk… and i would not count this as change at all… its literally same as you would give gold to your friend… someone gains gold and someone looses gold…but as bonus you can play wow for free and it can diminish goldsellers and bots.
Well if the price is falling like this it seems there will be a lot of gold generated. Because you get the guarenteed gold price and the way the price is falling it seems there are a lot of people wanting to buy gold but by the time people think the price is low enough for getting game time for their gold there may be a big discrepancy.
That still doesn’t solve the issue that the gold selling caused. All it’s effectively achieving is allowing mass amount of gold already in the economy to be exchanged for real money.
In turn its just encouraging pay to win, but this time its okay cause Blizzard gets their cut as opposed to third party gold sellers.
The worst part is it doesn’t even stop botting, which is evident in retail to this day. I still remember seeing that video of the hundreds of boomkin bots in Nazmir back in Shadowlands.
Also prices for everything on the AH will inflate. My last scan showed Flasks of Endless Rage at 8g94s each on my server prior to the token. The token has only been out for a day and they are now going for 24g99s each. That’s a 185% inflation on pots within a day.

Lies! The community kicked and cried, NOT to implement the RDF or something alike from retail. As it would “destroy” community feeling. The community actually begged to have to look manually to enhance the experience. Suckers.
The only few that saw reason and light, like you and me, got shunned and spit on for even considering or proposing a RDF for smooth playing and queue pops.

This has to be the most idiotic thing Blizzard has done in a long time.
Instead of trying to actually work on getting the issues with Bots and Gold sellers fixed, you do this? I guess it is “If you can’t beat them, join them” kind of thing?
The Token fixed NOTHING in retail, only accelerated inflation, promoted P2W and raised entry bar to new players so high, that many gives up.
With the GDKP runs in classic so popular (Not sure why??) this will only accelerate it.
New players will feel force to sell tokens, to get started, unless they are lucky enough to know a good social guild, that will accept and help new players. And we are not that many going around.
While I am 100% sure Blizzard will at no point comment, or justify the introduction of the Token, I can only hope people will ignore them to large extent to rob Blizzard of there ill gotten gains. I would be ashamed if I worked at Blizzard.

I am usually a guy who never writes comments. I have been playing WOW since 2005. This is my first comment ever.
There was a specific reason why I decided for myself to play WOW classic. I loved the immersion, the character progression and the feeling of accomplishment after a challenging journey.
Thank you Blizzard team for ruining that feeling by implementing the WOW token in Classic. It is nothing the community has been asking for, and you know it quite well. It is literally that one red line that’s not to be crossed and its totally disrespectful to your true community. It completely destroys the immersion of a closed world by bringing real life money into the game. And don’t get me started on how the token was implemented, this was sneaky as hell, totally knowing this will upset the vast majority of the Classic playerbase.
Personally, I am likely to continue Wrath till the end, only because I already put so many efforts into my character. However, I feel that the magic has gone. Thanks for the journey.

^^^ 100% this, hit the nail on the head.
Absolutely, doesn’t it just speak volumes how Joyous Journeys is the first thing you see on the Battle.net Launcher, yet there’s no mention of the token at all. They knew exactly what they were doing and how it would be recieved.

For me the Token is a welcomed addition but what I really wanted whas getting the Dungeonfinder.
Because for me WoW magic is leveling and while leveling doing the dungeons but sadly most people are not interessted in this.
Blizzard hasn’t fixed bots in retail either, if anything they actually got worse after the token was added, I dunno if you remember the boomkin armies in BFA and Shadowlands in particular.
Also, generally speaking the gold token price will have it much higher than what gold sellers are selling, the market is dictated by supply/demand from the players and the money can’t ever be extracted from battle net, bots don’t want battle net balance so they won’t deal through Blizzard’s platform.
All that farming for literally nothing. You want constructive Criticism? you got it. GET. RID. OF. THIS. NOW
promise after promise broken, how broke are you? seriously

Retail is literally a click away
Blizzard said (check wowhead): “we saw that we cannot cause the demand for gold to be lower”
lol what a lier.
Gold is in high demand because people want flask, potions for min max dps and buying loot because they are tired about 1 loot bis drop every 2 months.
Up the spot of Ore and Herbs
Up the loot per boss from 3 to 5
And we will see if people will continue to buy golds.

Don’t worry, EU realms have far more bots since you can sell gold at higher price there. I like the fact that being EU resident I do not need to play on EU realm and see the inflation raising while excessive gold would be pumped out of Flamegor PvP EU RU Wrath Classic with EU buying WoW token, keeping inflation under control and GDKP prices reasonable thus making my purchase of same token far more valuable. Damn we even have some faction balance so far. Best Wrath realm!
And you will be done with Ulduar in 2 months? No no no. They want you chase those mythical BiS up to ICC.
