    I never understood why players do the effort (no matter how much or little it is) to get tokens to save some euro's/dollars... who cares about 20 or 50 or whatever bucks ? Time is so much more valuable.

    I wonder what did all these moaners do to pay for their game for the first 12 years of Wow's existance before stuff like the token existed?...

    Damn you ActiBlizz, right?

    There's a big difference between having a lot of gold just by playing (which does pile up if you don't spend it on luxury goods like AH/Heirlooms/mounts).

    Or actually just playing for gold to save money for another game, which is dumb since wow costs money in the first place.


    I had 300k in 5.2, gave 290k to my guild when I quit for 3 years.

    Easily made 3 million in Legion without crazy AHing, so I financed 9 character transfers with just gold during the sale and 140k/token, would I do it again? No way, not at current service & token prices.

    Not me, but then I'm not exactly keen on feeling upset by the rule of supply and demand... Every new game, new expansion, new mount, transmog set or whatever added to the store will "wreck the token econ"... Only, it only "wrecks" it for the people buying. Those selling probably think it's awesome. It's entirely fine that the economy fluctuates.

    They barely scraped by paying 12 euro a month I reckon. At least, that's what one would think going by the whine out here.

    It's definitely frustrating. My issue isn't with Destiny 2 specifically, but rather their earlier decision to not keep the WoW token restricted to a closed circuit within WoW, and allowing the token to be put towards Blizzard store credit. That's where it went wrong for me.

    oh wait you mean the other way

    idk if you know this but there is two ways to an economy.

    if the price of an item goes up, yes those buyying it are harmed, but those selling are doing much better


    item was 30k, people selling where only getting 30k, rather lame, those buyying were spending 30k to get 15$ rather good
    item is now 130k, people selling are now getting 130k! much better, those buyying are now spending 130k to get 15$ rather lame

    yes it means you cant buy each month as easily but those who want to buy gold can buy much more
    It's currently 227k on EU

    Was this the first time there was a huge rise after an announcement ?
    No.

    So how exactly did that alone "wreck" the token economy ?
    Answer - it didn't.

    What the reality is - you don't like the price rise, so follow the typical Blizzard or Activision bashing routine.

    Someone is unaware, willfully maybe, of the Man in the Middle attacks, which did do just that, bypassing the protection of the Authenticator.
    Short version, malware would intercept your login attempt in the client, allowing 3rd party using the authenticator code to log in.
    Your attempt would be altered to prevent the login from your side.

    I feel like we've had enough massive shocks to the token price already that people have stopped freaking out about them. I know I'm quite resigned to the fact that, periodically, something will cause a demand spike and the gold price for token will go up.

    Have to say, that's where it went right for me. I'm pretty happy about getting hundreds of dollars worth of other games and game products for free.

    Other game has zero to do with it. They want ppl to buy tokens, they make more money when ppl buy tokens. Token prices were destined to raise to stupid levels because the company wants to make more money. Other game has absolutely nothing to do with it.

  17. #37
    They are up around 10-20% because of destiny, but they didn't ruin it, what "ruined" it was when they made them from sub money only to bnet balance.

    I most definitely do not use in game gold to purchase tokens anymore. That was short-lived. I do like selling tokens though.

    Really the only time the token might have a meaningful spike is when they start taking preorders for the next expansion and tbh the way they're headed I don't even know if that will do it.
