Yep seems like the RMT shops stopped waiting for prices to drop and they spent all their gold on token. They farmed way too much from boosts already. It is time for blizzard to crack down on who bought this many tokens because it was not just a couple people.

I don’t really watch the prices but this site disagrees.

The token is Blizzard’s way of getting their slice from RMT. From their perspective they don’t care who buys it.
The entire player driven gold economy is a rot at the heart of the game’s design.

disagrees in what? it was 260k now 321. You can check 5 other wowtoken price tracking sites it does not matter if it was 260 or 265k.
A shop probably collected few doze millions of gold oreven hundred million gold from boosting m+ and normal/hc raids so they now converted their gold into bnet balances to get rid of the gold legally.

If you buy virtual ingame currency for a video game with real money, then there is nothing to say anymore.

Big spike indeed, but still low in comparison to 400k at the end of DF/ start of TWW.
There might be several factors, one of which is the one you addressed, but also one might be that raiders stopped buying (with money) tokens for enchants, crafting, consumables etc.
this very post will make the token price go down
announcing these type of things will effect the price, people will see this post and go buy a token
… so good job
I would say it’s more of an indictment on the design of the game itself if people are strongly incentivised to purchase in-game currency.

If it does not get fixed I’m going to expose the entirety of token gold selling until it gets fixed by blizzard (because they will be forced to do) and it will literally be like 100k max.
So they can start with banning shops for example so they aren’t going to up the prices to 400k in a week.
Agree, but that atleast has some real life value compared to a virtual currency.
Pretty sure Blizzard lying about it as well, way too sus. And the token was already low some weeks ago and many people were buying. yet such a big change from yesterday
You know that many people buy tokens with gold, right? 
I have basically all in-game mounts and bought other games with gold, so that I don’t need to spend real life money on it.
yep this. It was fluctuating between 260-280 for weeks because it was the normal way of working. People buy some sell some they needed a gametime or two or something but for a spike this big basically needed all available token to be bought up which was only possible by a shop with hundreds of millions of gold pile.

the expansion launched roughly 1 month ago. 2 months ago was pre patch. it was obvious the prices were going to spike within 1-2 days of the current date. most people buy 1 month of game time at a time. some didn’t have any game time but used the 1 month that came from buying the expansion 1 month ago. now that you know prices spiked today, you can with strong certainty assume they will spike again around October 28th and November 25th and December 23rd.
i’m not sure why you care, you win either way.
either they buy up all the tokens and you get better bang for your buck if you’re a token buyer, or they boost so often that many people buy gold thus driving the price of the token down, so you can buy it with your gold and play for free.

It could just be because the free month with buying the expansion version that includes it is over.
More ppl now buying token for sub will increase the price.

none of us win because of rmt booster shops mass purchase token. Botters/ah botters etc all of these are contributing factor of why the market is ruined.
