Everyone and his mother know how to make 1 million gold in an hour.
What? you don't? L2P
Looks like someone won't renew their subscription if the prices are really like that!
(Hint: me)
Stop playing, use the time to educate yourself, then get a real job.
If you live in a country where 15$ is hard to get, you certainly have problems more important that would keep you from playing WoW.
Also, it's been 15$ a month for 13 years, what were all these poor people doing before token existed? Because no, they didn't start playing when tokens came out. And even if they did, they would be 100% new to the game, so they wouldn't even be making enough gold to buy tokens.
Loggin on WoW without actually playing the game just to make enough gold every month to buy a token is definitely not worth spending 15$.

See above.
Well, as others already said different countries have very different feeling how less or how much is $15.
Well there seems to be this group of people who don't play wow for pve or pvp but for AH camping. What do you think they do with all that gold?
Some might even get supplementary revenue from their streams or youtube vids, tbh watching a few videos can be mildly entertaining but watching streams of people scrolling mousewheel in TSM is as entertaining as watching paint dry, I don't even know where do they get viewers / donations from, but such streams exist.
Also there are people who boost for gold, it's very lucrative per hour, however the person who has to deal with all the logistics has it way worse than the rest of their raid / m+ / cm / arena / rbg team. They usually get an extra though for all the peddling and bookkeeping.
It comes down to the question, do you find farming stuff, AH flipping or boosting a fun activity? If yes, gold is a by product. If no, then it's a chore and you might as well just pay the sub.
It's $15. Unless you're dead broke I'll bet there's many things you can do to save that $15 like smoke 2 less packs of cigs a month. Go out less. Drink less alcohol. Don't supersize it! Etc, Etc. Because for me the $15 a month is bringing lunch from home 2 days a month instead of going out during lunch hour.

The way I see it, we all payed for the game before the token, and it was nice to have to basically play free in a expansion that lacked a lot (WoD). It was good enjoying playing the game basically free for 2 years, but I don't mind having to pay with money again.
Pally Collector, 785+ Mounts, 1740+ Pets, 715+ Toys, 34000+ achieves.
I don't care how much the Token costs, could go up 400k for all I care, still going to buy it instead of paying IRL money for it. Why? Because farming gold gives you something to do on WoW instead of sitting in Dalaran or going on the forums and complaining how the game has no content.
Why the snarky reply? That's really uncalled for. As far as I could see, my sentiment is shared among several others. You're perfectly able not to care, but from your reply I discern that not only you are fine with spending 1/4 million gold every month, but also would defend said overpricing to some extent.
Ok so you make $100 a month or whatever in salary and... you spend 2-3 full days each month grinding gold in WoW, so you can afford to play it for the rest of the month ?
Doesn't make sense, at all. If you live in the poorest regions of the planet, the cost of the WoW token is going to be the least of your problems.

I included the portion which you failed to quote about being dead broke. But at the same time many people spend wastefully on other things instead. You also invested in a computer to play. You have to make a choice as to which is more important. People played the game just fine for almost 10 years so I don't see what has changed?
If you really have no extra disposable income I apologize. I'm not trying to ridicule the poor. I'm quite aware of how it is to live that way.

All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
