WoW Token? Do you think it will be implemented in Classic?

[Grofatso]

I wouldn't mind retail token being usable for Classic subscription (they will both be combined anyway in my opinion), just as long the economies are not brought together. They are wildly different beasts, and someone running around with 300k+ gold in Classic on day one would be bad.

[hulkgor]

You're being a fool.
Blizzard ist at first a company that wants to make money so vanilla WILL have the shop.

Vanilla had a shop, for in-game services like server changes and the like. Doesn't mean it will have the modern mounts, pets, transmogs and wow token.

HOECKER SIE SIND RAUS! Its funny when a dude claims he played vanilla disproves himself this way....

OH SNAP - http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Transfer
Here, have another link - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wo.../1100-6153087/

There WERE paid character services in vanilla, just not at launch, i should know, i spent fucking hundreds of euros on them with server dancing. You just made the purchases on the website, not the fucking client.

So yea, thanks for making an idiot out of yourself.

Yea, it will sell transmogs on the shop, when there isn't even TRANSMOGRIFICATION on fucking vanilla.

Are you really on a clueless rampage?

[Xecks]

heh what would be the price of those things anyways? they couldnt make it too ez or everyone will have an alt on a classic server farming gold to spend on wow tokens cause it will be so ez to get on those servers. it would have to be over 1k to even be half the work to get it on live.

[Staysafe]

Have retail and Classic share a subscription while allowing you to pay for the subscription with retail gold/tokens. Don't involve Classic gold at all though - it would seriously destroy the economy. n

[Velerios]

wow tokens, again, DO NOT CREATE GOLD. they are just a tool like any other for moving gold around.

No, here you are a bit on the wrong side. Wow-Tokens create gold but also destroy gold, it doesn't work this way as you described it:

For example: you put in a token at 200.000 gold, then you get the 200.000 gold. If someone buys a token and it get sold at 190.000, blizzard created 1.000 gold for the one who put in the token. The same goes the other way around: if the token cost later 210.000, blizzard destroyed 1.000 gold.

And i think yes, token might come, simply not to bring back the gold-sellers. And naturally the conversion rate will not be as high as on classic: i can actually see 1 token to be sold at 30-40 gold.

I can see no way of directly implimenting it, however I do see WoW Classic costing money to play and as such, being payable through b.net balance which you can get with WoW tokens.

[orderschvank]

still better than chinese gold!

[RickJamesLich]

Wow tokens in classic would be an obvious mistake that I think blizzard would easily be able to recognize. They are aware that people want an experience as close to classic as possible, while most players wouldn't mind bug fixes and alike, introducing new, and already unpopular concepts to that fan base would not go over well. Especially considering the fact that it essentially allows people to buy gold with real money.

[munkeyinorbit]

Oh no not me. I could give less fucks then a pornstar. I'd be the one buying the tokens and copping out on all the expensive end game shit lmaooo. I just know for a fact there would be thousands of little faggots crying about not wanting to spend money for gold

A pornstar can literally have 1000s of fucks. So you give 1000s of fucks -1? You care a lot that someone has an epic mount when they turn 60? I don't think you know what not giving a fuck means or you know what zero is.

As people did in vanilla day and night. That most of the people who had an epic-mount there bought it from some chinese gold-seller? Buying Gold with real money was already a part of vanilla, it was on the illegal side yes, but it was sadly a part of it. I rather have a legal way to obtain gold than buying it from gold sellers.

[munkeyinorbit]

No, here you are a bit on the wrong side. Wow-Tokens create gold but also destroy gold, it doesn't work this way as you described it:

For example: you put in a token at 200,000 gold, then you get the 200,000 gold. If someone buys a token and it get sold at 190,000, blizzard created 10,000 gold for the one who put in the token. The same goes the other way around: if the token cost later 210,000, blizzard destroyed 10,000 gold.

I fixed all the figures for you. I don't care if . is acceptable for thousand separators in some places in Europe. You're publishing to the world, use the right format (also fixed your 1,000 to 10,000).

Classic will not come with a way to purchase gold or sell gold through the AH. But since you will need a subscription to play it, your main account can still farm gold and purchase gold or credit.

[shifu]

Do i want WoW tokens in vanilla? Absolutely not!

However, I truly feel it's a necessary evil. Because then there will be a dramatically reduced amount of Chinese gold farmers.

Sure, there are always going to be some that will buy gold, but it's not a coincidence that the most people private servers are the ones that do ban gold buyers on a regular basis. Most people don't want that stuff in the game, one of the most interesting things about vanilla wow was the economy, having options to buy gold with real money diminishes it.

[riptal]

I'm pretty sure Vanilla is going to be a server part of regular servers list. In the list you'll probably see servers with PVE, PVP, RP and Classic. So You'll only need a regular subscription to have access to that server too. So token should be in for classic by default. Just my opinion.

[music49]

In my personal opinion, I don't think it should be in the Classic on the side of in-game economics. Destiny 2 on Blizzard Launcher skyrocketed the price of tokens on live. I would prefer each game not affect the others

Did you even read what I said? I said I don't care about anyone getting shit. I was saying that if the token is implemented a lot of whiny faggots like yourself are gonna cry about it lmao

[bufferunderrun]

This has been bothering me lately.

I'm a huge fan of the Classic announcement and I personally want it to remain exactly the same, or as close as possible.

I don't want any added features, but there are those that argue some things will inevitably change like having the battle.net integration. Which I don't see how Blizzard will release Classic without that integration unfortunately.

So if there will be obvious integration features through Bnet, and KNOWING blizzard wanting to milk WoW for all the money it could possibly make, I wouldn't put it past them to integrate the WoW Token into Classic like it is in Retail.

I think this would be a HUGE mistake personally. One of the KEY features of WoW Vanilla was how time-consuming or whatever you want to call it, it was to get gold yourself (or be incredibly lucky). I think if they integrate the WoW Token into Classic, it would ruin that feeling of accomplishment when you actually bought your first mount or finally getting the 1k needed for the Epic mount. It's one of those milestones and achievements in Vanilla that made one of the greatest memories for past players, and the Token would completely destroy that feeling.

Sure, there will be those that say "It doesn't change anything, just don't sell one and you're square" - but that's like the argument for flying "It doesn't change anything, just don't fly" - which obviously (most players who can, will) if there's the option.

I'm a bit scared about this one. I think most people who are asking for Quality of Life changed or added content will see they won't make it in...

But this... This is right up Blizzard's Alley for what I can see they would do...

Added a Poll to gauge what people are thinking.


**Edit: Honestly think people are thinking the Poll question is "Do you want WoW Tokens" when that's not the question.

actually the token is around 200k on eu server good luck try to sell it on a classic server i honestly don't even remember if the gold cap was above 99k in vanilla, anyway even if someone reach that amount i don't think blizzard allow the store (or any other account bound function) to work in classic servers.

you may be able to buy it from the character selection screen for the sake of prolonging the sub because anyway i'm absolutely sure blizzard gonna require at last a sub active on normal account to play classic similar to how ptr work.

actually the token is around 277k on eu server

fixed it. yw
