WoW Token selling for 60,000-62,172 gold.

[ComputerNerd]

Can we stack those token for a future Battle net balance ?
That could explain something.

That is what the datamined strings are suggesting.
Hence the increased prices from them being hoarded.

Since all functions are hidden from the player, and since players cannot set their own price, there's a good chance this isn't what's going on behind the scenes at all.

Why can't it be what blizzard actually said ?
It actually makes sense.

Well you just answered your own question. If Blizzard was just setting the price to whatever would make them money, we would not have had a year and a half of prices so low that you could trivially play for free without dedicating any effort whatsoever to making gold, just doing a few garrison chores and then a few order hall missions each day.

Very much this.
Intentionally ignoring that not convenient for your argument does not make it true.

Unless they changed something (edit: just checked, still can't carry more then 10) you can't really horde them, you can only keep 10 tokens in your bag across your account (all factions, all toons, all servers). There was a limit for how much future game time you could buy to but I can't remember what it was now but it was like a year or year and a half.

Welcome to how expensive they were on europe BEFORE legion launch. They're now around 100k here.

That aside, the reason why their prices shot up is because it was mentioned that soontm the tokens could be used for other paid wow services (or MAYBE even traded in for battle.net cash to buy other games from). Demand has gone up, but supply has not, so prices shoot up a lot.

Still 10 tokens players did not have reason to buy before.

58k right now. Just bought one to see if the game is better since 7.0 (legion launch)

What was the highest they got during the WoD dry up? Low to mid 70's on the US?

[hyphnos]

99,800g right now on Daggerspine EU

it's region wide

[Amalisa]

You can find an up-to-date list of the price across all regions here: https://wowtoken.info/ it's crazy how different the prices are...

[FuxieDK]

Why on earth is the token getting so pricy now?

An item with a set value of 30kg is now worth double, 60kg isn't even worth 30 days of play time.

EDIT: Nope.. Wowtoken.info says 98K...

i wish those prices for EU realms.

[Kikazz]

glad i purchased over a years worth when it was at 30k, as much gold as i have id rather spend the $15 than the 60k+

max u can have at anytime, 36 i bought and used.... so funny...

dont use my gold on anything thought lets see how far i can take it, when they were at 20k a pop.

[Deleted]

EU token over 100k gold.
Too bad I didn't buy a lot before the WoD inflation.

Anyway I don't take it is worth it for me.
it takes me 3-4 hours to get 100k gold which would translate to 5 EUR per hour.
Considering the cost of 1 month is 12 EUR, I would rather spend my gold otherwise.

How are you farming 100k in 4 hours?

Herbalism and mining usually.
occasional seed party.

You can also create obliterums which net me about 20k profit in 1/2 hour.
However my market tends to over saturate on these quickly.

[Noxina]

Well, people don't need gold, but they need playtime. So there is more people who buy the tokens for gold, than there is people who buy them for money and sell for gold. It is kinda basic economics.

Also, 60k was the price when Legion launched in EU. Get on our level!

How are you farming 100k in 4 hours?

I earned about 30k/hour by killing plants outside EN, herbing Dream Leaf of them, then milling that stuff. The market kinda died fast though, because too many Youtubers wanted views and subs on their channels. Not sure how much that method earns me now.

[Deleted]

I've seen so many crap items that get priced for 50k (even blue gear) that I'm not surprised by this. The market in WoW is basically a few people dominating the AH and hoping for people to buy their overpriced blackmailing because they need it or are lazy to get it themselves

herbalism + alchemy level 3 recipes - yes its boring like f... but extremly effective

you have it backwards, the token costs real money too and it costs MORE than if you pay monthly sub, so blizz wuold definitely like to see more tokens bought, therefor its in their interest to keep cost lower, so its affordable
