WoW Token Coming April 21 in Europe

Anyone know why the create auction option is greyed out when i try to sell it?

That does not explain 1% increase every 15m. And just look at when it was released in murrica, its not even similar

That's normal, the token price can only increase or decrease by 1% per interval. It's been that way since U.S. launch.

As far as I understand you are trying to resell the one you bought from the AH for gold? You can't do that.

No, i purchased one for RL money.

Seemed to have slowed down

using any addons for the auction house? my auctionator addon would not play nice with it and had to go to the blizzard standard auctions tab to sell it

Went down by 30 gold, best time to sell to make money is now!

This just goes to show how some member states of the EU are so so so much poorer than states of the USA, as less WoW tokens are purchased otherwise the gold value would go down if a higher volume of tokens was purchased in the EU. It's almost embarrassing, almost, but the sellers are probably rubbing their hands together at the lovely gold coming their way so that makes up for it. I wonder which EU country the most is buying the tokens to sell on the AH for gold?

Yes, it "appears" to have finally hit a peak which is good for players such as me planning to buy for gold but were too slow to catch it early.
It makes sense that such a rise could not be sustained indefinitely, but was almost certainly fuelled by a number of factors,
Not least the significant delay before the EU release which gave players time to earn more gold and so will bump up how much some are willing to spend on them.

As of 18:50 CEST, the WoW Token on EU servers is priced at 44,635 gold. OUCH, Its certainly not worth that much to me. At best Id give 20K for one!

Since it went now live on Europe, I could finally hack together an addon to help watching the price ingame:

dropped to 43k

[Varnia]

at 40k now

[Snowcharm]

And this is where you start hating there is no shared gold pool between chars. I have 90k gold on 10 chars. The richest one has 15-20k the rest is split. FML !!!

Keep in mind, demand during night hours are less than during the day. So prices is likely to raise again during the day, unless people freakout and start selling as many tokens as possible now, making supply higher than demand. But if the trend from last night continues, we might see the tokens passing 55-60k by tonight. Which is when I believe most people will be attempting to sell. (And should, cause 40-60k is a lot better price for the seller than at goldsellers).

I don't think people selling tokens for gold at looking at it from a goldsellers perspective.

I just think Europe value IRL money higher than US does.

Because at 20k gold for one month sub, I'd be all over it, but 45k and up is just too steep.

Another thing is that my understanding of the token prices reflects the mentality of EU versus US in regards to "P2Winning" (brackets because, buying tokens for gold would allow you to buy BOE, but won't make you a pro-player).

I don't think EU players dump cash on BOEs just to get an edge when a couple of LFRs could get you the same stuff.

Plus the fact that gold is meaningless in ridiculous quantities. What is it good for ?

It doesn't matter how your gold is split. When you buy a token, gold is subtracted from all the characters on your account proportionally.

You are right that it doesnt make you a pro player, but on Kazzak EU for example you can purchase a full 10/10 heroic BRF run with all MS gear that drops for only 150k which is slighly more than 60€ atm. You get nice gear, achievements (so that you can start pugging or join a raiding guild), get to experience the content how its meant to be. For me this is a way of winning. And of course at the end of the expansion the same thing is going to happen with mythic mode and challenge modes, so those who say pay2win might be somewhat right even if its not direct.

Or it will acts like in the US - peak was 45k which is 13k (!) more than in US means price will settle at around 35k (in US it is avg of 22k).

I think that in the beginning the problem was that many people already bought a token, but it didn't got yet confirmed. In Europe less people have a credit card (we pay everything with the debit-card) and because of this blizzard always have a waiting time when you put in into the auction house. (i think with a credit card it goes instantly). So nearly all tokens were in the queue so the supply was low. Now the supply got higher and the price is sinking.
