So, how much gold is 20$ worth?

[Deleted]

We know the tokens will be 20$.

Now, simply, what's the most gold you would pay for a month's subscription?

[Runeshear]

2k...hehehe im cheap.

Really expect about 25-30k.

Wouldn't it be $15(or less) then? I don't think subscription cost is going up.

You're paying a $5 premium for the right to sell the token for gold.

If you look, by chance (and safely because of obvious reasons.), at the Gold Farmer/Selling websites, they average around $USD 20 = 25K gold, depending where you look. (about 1300Gold per $USD 1)

Yes, but the question isn't about selling, it's about buying. If I was buying for myself I would pay the $15 for the subscription, not the $20 for the token.

The whole point of the token is so that you can spend ~$0.

Yes, but a month of subscription isn't worth $20 to me, it's worth $15.

I think Blizzard will be looking at the servers' economies to determine price. Price on gold selling sites is not really relevant to them, the illegal and legal markets will be totally different.

Yes, but a month of subscription isn't worth $20 to me, it's worth $15.

You aren't buying the token to apply to your account. You're buying the token to sell for gold.

[Xenyatta]

In doing research for this discussion, I found a few sites selling 20k gold for around $16-$20

[quras]

You aren't buying the token to apply to your account. You're buying the token to sell for gold.

You are paying $15 for a sub token and the additional $5 for the privilege of selling it for gold. All so someone else who has gold, can spend $20 worth of gold for the equivalent of $15 dollar (30 day) subscription item.

[Wyrt]

You aren't buying the token to apply to your account. You're buying the token to sell for gold.

But that's not what the question is asking. The question is what would you pay for it. If I'm paying for it then its value is $15, not $20.

Yes. What would you pay for it in gold

[Taurous]

That's not what the question is. The question is, "How much gold would you pay for it?" It IS $20.

How long does it take you to acquire 20 bucks outside of the game?

How much gold can you acquire in game in that same amount of time?

That's how much gold is $20 worth.

[tacosarecool]

really want to know who think its will be 50k+

[Wyrt]

That's not what the question is. The question is, "How much gold would you pay for it?" It IS $20.

Yes, but the value of it to the person paying gold is $15, not $20. So it the question should be, "how much gold is $15 worth?"

You're missing the fact that you can now tweet about the gold you just bought.

How is that NOT content, sir?
