It should count as 1. The intention is not to nerf the achievement or raise the number of reps you can have exalted at once, just to make it ease the burdens of alts/character-switching. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

WoW Token Price
From end of July 2018 to today the WoW Token price has dropped by half.
Make of that metric what you will but it tells me that such a steep decline in such a short timeframe is not a good thing.
This means that more people are buying the Tokens with real money faster than those buying the token with gold. Thus causing the price to fall. It unfortunately means a little less gold for your token, but the market dictates that is how much it's worth at the moment. Lot's of gold is moving around as its still the start of an expansion. It's pretty normal.

In fact it means the opposite of what you're proposing, its good for WoW as a whole because it means people are buying plenty of tokens to sell for gold. Slightly negative for token sellers if anything.

I totally see the point you're making though, in that it implies less people are buying tokens with gold. Which isn't necessarily the truth but rather the value of those selling them for gold has drastically changed causing the price to fall.

It’s because the Legion mission tables don’t give gold anymore. I was making 100K/day. Now I make like 5K a day
I think we're still a little too early to see the impact of that within the tokens but it will definitely have an impact in the long run.

And I think there's more to the equation than A + B = C.

It's very hard to imply or interpret player interest through a single point of data.[/i]
Definitely true as well! It's a little harder to infer fully the impact of the token within the economy as you guys don't have sight on the buying and selling rates. I'm pretty sure people can pick up on what I implied though in my explanation. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Weekly Conquest Reward
To clarify, the weekly conquest item (from the conquest cap quest, not the chest) gives a set item level. This does not increase based upon your rating. However, it could be boosted to an item level corresponding to your current rank with a Battleborn Sigil. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    With the normal island expedition xp buff is it going to be a viable way to level alts?

    Man, the "wow is dying/dead" crowd is so desperate they're even twisting the WoW token into negative figures for them to spew...
    Meanwhile, to sane people, it's evident that far FAR more people are buying tokens to sell, than there are people buying them for gold.

    It's not. Go play an actual P2W game and learn how funny it is to choke on your own words.

    All this crap about the tokens being low, means people will find other ways to get that same money.

    Players in WoW can progress without spending real world cash. However, I can take real world cash and use it to pay to be carried in both PvP and PvE content. Yes, it is not traditional "pay to win". It's not the end of the game by any means, just something that I don't think it is fun game play, and not healthy for the game long term. Masses of players saying that the game is not fun is not something that can be ignored either.

    How is WoW possibly pay to win? There have always been high BoE drops on the AH. Short of that there is zero option for any sort of pay to win.

    You can pay to skip. There's a difference, and NOBODY would consider you a winner for doing so. The wow token has been a blessing to people wanting to play by paying with gold, or players struggling to make gold in-game. Seems pretty damned healthy for a 14-year old title.

    It's not pay to win by design, that's all the facts one needs. I've played P2W titles and they're cancer.

    But...this has been a thing forever? It is in not any way shape or form new. Why is what other people do that don't affect your gameplay, affecting your gameplay.

    Complaining that the token price has dropped? Really? That's nothing but a good thing for me... wish it dropped even more. But it actually did drop more than I initially expected it to.

    Feral PvP talent Earthen Grasp is now useless. The only good aspect of that talent was the 80% miss on casters. Why would you want it as melee miss chance for a rooted melee target lol.
    They just can't stop making retarded changes.
