As I said and you missed that in quote, I would prefer no token and no ilegal gold buying.
Dont see why you need to call me dumb, I didnt insult you in any way.

Agree on that.
Can I have your gold?
Understand your point of view but no, it will not be the most p2w MMO, not even close.
Ofc it will⌠gold can get you about anything. A lot of BIS items are BOE.
Oh really? I just checked the shop, where is it?

The boost is a convenience, nothing more. Youâre not paying to win anything.
The WoW token is another convenience, not a P2W item. It gets you get gold in a legit way.
Which would you prefer?
1: Gold sellers that will definitely ruin the in-game economy?
2: A WoW token that lets everyone get gold without ruining the economy to the same extremes as gold sellers and botters do?
I know what iâd pick and it sure as hell ainât the former.
The thing with the tokens is that Blizzard can set the price in gold and realm money, meaning they donât need to make it as good as the retail token, but far worse, meaning they could set a bar at for example, 50-100g per token when it sells on the AH. Or lowerâŚ
P2W is when the game has a cash shop that sell gear (armor/trinkets/weapons etc) with stats that gives you a clear advantage over other players in PVP.
There is no P2W when it comes to PVE, since end-game content is the main reason people play, where everyone is working towards the same goal aka killing bosses for loot.
Having one or two people in the raid who got a boost or a wow token isnât going to help them. It doesnât give them an advantage in a raid.
Donât talk about definitions you clearly donât know anything about.

Spending IRL money to get BIS items is as P2W as it gets and the very definition of it.

Then you have never played an actual P2W MMORPG.
Try Blade & soul or Black desert.

Both are asian games. I dont like those. But being able to buy gold = being able to buy BIS gear. In TBC token would be the most p2w thing they can add. RMT should not be supported by any serious game company.
Then donât spout BS when you donât know any thing. 
Ignorant people just âassumingâ is the worst thing i know
Blizzard stopped being âseriousâ a long time ago, they care about money and money only nowdays
The thing is tokens donât actually solve botting and gold selling. All it does is create a price ceiling for gold. Retail has tokens and yet both bots and gold sellers still run rampant.

Compare it to western MMOs instead. We all know asian MMOs are p2w garbage. In most western MMOs BIS gear cannot be bought for real money.
I know they are a joke nowdays but the token would put the last nail in the coffin.
The token will help those who donât want to break the rules by buying from 3rd party to actually be able to keep up and get as much gold as those who do buy from 3rd party.
This is why the token is a good thing

GDKP isnt mandatory to keep up. A good guild is.
Sure. And the people who donât want to RMT still get screwed.
Blizzard is seeing the money that Mobile games & asian games bring in, thatâs why they are moving both Classic & Retail in that direction.
As i said above⌠they care about money and money only, so adjusting WoW to fit the mobile market mentality is only logical.
Well, thatâs a very very small part of the community.
In todays gaming, itâs mostly RMT or GTFO in the competative aspect any way.
You can still enjoy TBC just fine without millions of gold.

Doubt more than 20% of players buy gold or tokens on retail so no itâs not a âvery very small partâ.
