If I were to run a company/mmo with such a system, it would be a total no brainer to make raid required professions much more grindy while tanking prices of legally purchased gold - literally no brainer decision - the thing with Blizzard is, they hide it very well. It's no coincidence they added a 5,000,000 mount among other expensive mounts, that's just an extra mask they can use.
Let me put it more bluntly
If you were Blizzard, would you rather sell 27 WoW Tokens or 16 WoW tokens?
27x £17 = £459
16x £17 = £272
That is the current difference between the tokens to buy a 5,000,000 mount compared to Legion Token Prices.
Still think Blizzard aren't purposely manipulating the prices?
