I was thinking and then came up with an bright idea
I have alot of gold on retail which just sits there since i do not play retail anymore.
How about we get the ability to transfer our hard earned cash from retail to Classic?
Ofcourse we cannot let it destroy the economy, so lets say we can do it 1 time per account, unlimited amount.
It is not fair to have worked so many hours for gold and to not use it on Classic pisses me off.
surely you jest?
no, everything will cost more than now and it’ll destroy economy on each server. And doesn’t matter how you’re gonna convert it.
I did not mention it but i ment to have a conversion ofcourse or else the econmoy would blow up. I worked so hard for that gold, it doesnt feel right to leave it idle.
One time transaction with an ‘unlimited’ amount would infact ruin the economy.
epic troll
I don’t mind if you convert it as 1 classic copper to 1 retail cap gold.
Ok, maybe you have a point.
How about 10.000 gets converted to 100 Classic gold, sounds fair doenst it?
A friend of mine has several gold caps in retail. Do you really think that it’s a good idea? You just don’t understand how economy works. You won’t increase amount of goods, you’ll increase currency and everything will start costing more.
That would depend. I do know people are gold capped on retail. I think its 9.9mil which would be way too much in classic with your current 10k to 100g converter.
Also, this would mean that people could spend irl money on tokens and transfer the gold to classic.
And last but not least, what about the people without BFA mains with gold? If inflation became a reality due this, they will suffer.
I do understand where you are coming from. But sadly it’s two different games.
It could be possible but i think this shiuld be done through trading and not by printing classic wow gold from retail because that would mean a big inflation. But you can probably find someone on tour server who trading classic gold for retail like 200g for one token or similar. Its not against the tos.
The only value conversion that would make slight sense is 1 million retail gold to 100g classic - netting people 1k gold on classic from gold cap.
It would still inflate the living hell out of the economy, so I’m still against it btw 
Hmm, maybe my idea was not too bright after all. It sounded good on paper but probaly the practical issues would be too worse. Well then my gold there can rot for eternity
What classic server are u playing on?
On retail between my chars I have near 30k gold, but that’s not a lot compared to others… You don’t think people suddenly having 30k basically free gold would ruin the economy?
Edit: I should have read the whole thread first, I’ve now seen you talking about conversions but it would still damage the economy IMO
Wouldn’t the answer be to limit the amount transferable?
Sadly it seems the WoW tokens is coming to Classic. At least(For now) in China.

Be paying 100g for a stack of light leather 
NO.
Use it to pay your subscription instead of real money.
Do NOT mess with server economy.
No. They are two totally different games.
