    Basic economics. This black market ah both creates incentive for having large sums of gold (demand) and it takes gold of the market, lowering the amount of gold available (supply). This is so brilliant for goldsellers that it doesn't just affect one side of the economy, it affects both. This has the potential to really increase the worth of gold (which during cata went down to depressing levels).

    Nice, another gold sink. Great idea, to be honest. I'm never going to have enough gold to buy anything from it, but still, it's great. Going to take lots of gold from the market.

    If mounts like Ashes are still farmable, lots of people are going to have it either way, as farming TK will be considerably easier in next the expansion.

    Did you just fail at trying to be a smartass?

    Or were you merely joking?

    It was the cap back in the day, it seems they have changed it since then, removed my post after I noticed.

    Yes, I think the Black Market will be a "botter exclusive"-market. I got 1,7million gold without of any cheating involved and I'm afraid that even I won't be able to buy anything during the first few months cause I know botter on my low-pop-server that have 3 times as much gold...and make that amount of gold in less than 3 weeks.
    I already see the bots popping up like crazy during the first weeks of MoP when the AH prices are ridiculous high...

    yea except that once somebody bids "cap" amount of gold, they can't be outbid even by a bot no matter how many characters they have more gold on.

    What a dumb standard reply. Try to wrap your mind around the fact that THE ONLY REASON said items are desirable is because they are rare. The second derps can just buy them on some AH they devalue and become boring, worthless crap. But hey, let's keep the newbies happy, they will get a kick out of it for 2 weeks.

    I think its a good idea, the items will be random, so it will still be rare to see something like Ashes of Al'ar, and even if we do, only 1 person can buy it.

    oh lovely, the black market is a gold sink for the super rich to get super items with no effort unless running a few addons and going back and forth from the ah to mailbox now takes effort. what a fitting name

    With the Black Market AH I can see gold sellers making fat bank from this

    What about those of us who like things because we like the way they look?
    I'd ride Ashes all day every day even if everyone else had one, because I like the way it looks.

    kinda confused as to how they are getting things tested properly. unless they are doing a ton of internal testing and only humoring the masses with a test server.
    Bingo.... you really think they are filtering bug reports from 1.2M players. There is an internal server and a F&F server that are both a few patches ahead of you guys. Why do you think you are seeing achievements from raids being updated so frequently?

    You are testing the server architecture and the new zone tech.
