Its exactly what need to be removed from the Classic: goldsinks.
Because we are not kids anymore and many people me included have a lot of IRL money. But some like me are not cheaters and do not want to become cheaters. It makes honest players like me who do not buy gold have a disadvantage in the game.
I remember in Classic when playing both PvE and farming PvP BGs for rank how people easily changed specc from PvE to PvP and back. So when did they have time to farm the gold if they did both PvP and PvE? Well obviously in discord they admitted to gold buying.
Myself I got R14 and did raids with my guild but I played a lot PvP in PvE specc just as farming the BG and being at a disadvantage cause I did not want to cheat and buy gold and I did not have time to farm for the respeccs. I dont want to play a game where you have the option “be cheater” or have disadvantage.
Since Blizzard is unable to remove bots and goldsellers then its obvious they have to remove goldsinks so players dont get a disadvantage for being honest. Or if not just give the token and legal gold then I do not care. If its legal and not considered cheating I can buy 1 million gold from Blizz.
So its either no goldsinks or wow token or cheaters, bots and goldsellers.
PS. I am against changes to stuff that was relevant in Vanilla. Changes to stuff brought by privateservers like worldbuffs and other meta is 100 % good. And BTW SOD was worst thing ever with classes doing stuff they were not supposed to like Shaman tank and with raids being ruined since no longer a 40 man wipefiesta.
So please dont say SOD was alternative it was all the bad changes. The good changes is removing value of gold from the game (removing bots, goldsellers and GDKP) and removing world buffs would be another great thing no one like to sit around a flower for 20 minutes being idle. Its not what we did in Vanilla its some private server meta, we who played and payed to Blizzard on official servers for 20 years do not want to play private server Classic but relive the Vanilla experience with advance to TBC ofc.
