So, by removal of the token, we should also remove all tradeable TCG collected items and make the TCG codes that are unclaimed, expire. That is a few thousand dollars going down the drain and a lot of angry people.
Alas, the right GM's are hard to find. Wish they would start hiring GM's running a punch-card method. Give them the basic tools but their salary is calculated on how much time they clock while being productive.

I don't know about "almost exclusively." I think the token cut down on RMT a lot. It was just replaced with RMT (token) that Blizzard now gets a cut of, like the mob wanting its share.
Guilds in the past used to make so much money from RMT they could buy everyone a ticket to Blizzcon and get hotels. Now it is *mostly* in game gold, though of course you can't stop it completely.
I think one of the more interesting arguments is whether it is a better outcome to pay some 20 year old who needed the money $1000 to play your account and get you gladiator vs spending the same cash on wow tokens and giving the corporation money instead. Are either of those "ethical?"
That is what I've been trying to tell people in the thread, hence I added TCG as a connection. Both are Blizzard generated, both are made to be purchased for real money, both are made to be traded/sold for gold, and both have an outcome for buyer and seller, and both are following the ToS.
If those two were gone, then the game would just have gold sold against ToS (hack, scam, botting, farming, or via game-time like always)
And if gold were gone, it'll just be something else, like resources to trade for other resources, etc.

Well, they could have 'head hunters'?
Players being rewarded for hunting down spammers, scammers, and bots.
Actually, reward people for helping Blizzard getting rid of the unwanted accounts.

Blizzard could create and hire just for a specific position so there does not need to be cross-training involved. Blizzard can literally print more game masters if they wanted. Of course the reality is that game masters, and many other positions, are cross trained and have multiple responsibilities.

Personally I would add them into the game like they always should of been from boss drops to reputations. I don't believe they should of ever been made into items and thats me saying that while sitting on two spectral tigers,a hawk, and a bear from buy things to server transfer.
It wouldn't be a proper gm just one that can mute players who are spamming or posting in lfg its not hard to do in the slightest.

I never got the mentality that if you can't fix a problem 100% its not worth doing at all. If you removed the token you would stop a massive amount of people buying gold with money. Yes not all of them but the grand majority will not risk their accounts.
Just like the store items, the TCG items were created as ideas without a general plan of use. The designers sometimes during downtime, create things, and sometimes the higher-ups like it enough to not skip it, and add it to the store (or TCG pile as back in the day).
Wouldn't mind the ability to mute accounts, even to the point of flagging accounts for further investigation. Problem with that is still to find the people worth the investment.

But if we just removed the token, then it would just be exclusive P2W for the ones who hold TCG items still, as they can earn a massive amount of gold for real money too. There is no real way to stop it. The game involves the actions of humans, and thus things that break rules will appear.
