Gold rates dropping hard

WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria Classic Discussion

So i’m sure most have checked out these gold selling websites atleast once before to see what its all about.

I do so every couple of months to see how much some people i know pay for the amount they bought…

it seems like the prices dropped about 50% and more

is this caused bc of what just happened ?

if gold selling prices drop?
that means either Players stopped buying Or More sellers/Bots joined the club

Gold is a lot easier to come by now.
Especially if you’ve gone from looking at classic>TBC gold rates.
I earned barely any on classic, whilst I can easily earn 200-300g passively on TBC.

i suppose its a combination of things.

  1. gold is easier to farm.
  2. raids don’t require a 500g consumables investment (PER RAID)
  3. the amount of consumables you can have active at a time has been cut down to 1-2 + food buff.
  4. all the rare recipes (like mongoose) are getting more and more common. on my server people charged 200g fee for mongoose when it was first found, then it dropped to 100, then 75-50, and now i can get it for about 20g fee if i have a little patience.
  5. everyone finished their craftables farm, which means nobody needs shadowcloth/spellcloth/mooncloth, primal mights, BS weapons etc. so there’s much less demand for gold in general, which is why the prices for these items have also dropped drastically over the past few weeks.
  6. people are done with the content, so they either go pvp or they raidlog or level an alt (which means even more gold farmed just by leveling).

Don’t forget that you only need epic flying once for character and many people have only 1 main to buy flying to. So that sink is gone as well.

Both. Current phase is exausting it’s content as people approach their BiS and are buying less. Despite several ban waves bots are using boosts and are flooding the economy with RMT gold.

I just do my dailies i dont have to do jumpruns anymore, getting gold by grinding endlessly isnt worth it. By the time in done with my dailies i have to log out. Gold isnt really that important compared to classic vanilla.

Prices seem about the same as they were towards halfway+ P6 classic.
Then prices tripled for whatever reason when prepatch & TBC hit so what you see now is a lot less than 2 months ago, but they didn’t really drop hard now, they just rose hard then.

I imagine they will drop more still. TBC is just a goldmine and anybody not stacked on gold is just doing something wrong or not playing the game.
