Should also note that, in no way, should the way to fight gold selling, which is a problem but not hugely wide spread, be to make it substantially easier to do.

Getting back to 2005 would be nice wow's community has only decayed since then. Method cheating by buying gold has always been a thing but its a perk of being blizzards pr team.
I just rather the game be improved rather then made into the whore of Babylon

Make all the tcg mounts obtainable via boss drops or rep items. its easy to do...
Blizzard has always worked against third party sellers of gold. It has never stopped people from using gold to purchase advantages. The token only allowed Blizzard to get a $5 commission and didn't change anything else. It was the player driven economy that took advantage of gold. Remember that a token doesn't create any gold but only transfers it around.
So anytime someone uses a token to get gold and then uses that gold to buy something it is all being supplied by players.

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
Oh, that'll be great to see people's reaction once the Spectral Tiger Mount appears on the store, or farmable from a rare. We already saw people being rather disgruntled about getting TCG items from the TBC Classic pack.
If it wasn't added to TCG or the shop, it wasn't added to the game at all. They explained at a BlizzCon that they literally have piles of assets that the teams have worked on on the side without it fitting to the main project or the future ones, and thus it wouldn't be used, unless for the goodie in the store (since TCG is not printing anymore).

Honestly, I don't mind myself, just - it'll be a shit show of massive proportions.

They added tcg mounts into the game already...also no company just throws away assets because they cant cash shop... thats utterly moronic if you legitimately hold that opinion...
"Hey boss I made a handful of new mounts to add diversity and depth to the game!"
" sorry tim we don't have a cash shop delete those assets"
Who honestly thinks that is the reality?
You do realize we're in the middle of a labor shortage, right? So many people are making more money from UE benefits due to COVID that nobody wants to work. I don't exactly think that people will be chomping at the bit for a job whose description is, "slave labor intern position."
Where did I say they threw them away?
As well, with the launch of TBC Classic, they are even reusing TCG loot as reward (they even did for the recent charity).

Let's not bring in the politics on this. Some should just make fair work contracts. Now, back to the topic.

Who cares about old professions? Professions are worthless anyway. Any player will tell you boosting is 100x more effective for gold making. And professions while leveling take time away from being able to level your character. There is nothing stopping you from going back once max level and doing old professions and you'll have max flying speed. Plus, professions are separated by expansion now. You dknt need to level old professions anymore.

You'd also have a sway of people leaving the game because they can no longer play for "free", with these people also being WoW's highest subscription payers. There's not many things I can say with absolute certainty are never going to happen, but the WoW token being removed is one of them.
I've already given my stance on P2W multiple times this thread, but in addition to what I've previously said, I'll say this: P2W will only be an issue for me if they add things to the store that offer player-power that simply isn't obtainable in-game. Something like a store mount that goes beyond 310%, or an armour piece that's better than everything in-game.
If that were to ever happen, I'd be the first to say WoW is P2W.

Token or no token, the botting will be there as long as there are lazy people believing they are entitled to do it because else they lose out on things when sleeping or working, or losing out on their possible income. Even with the new system, bot creators just make new systems too.

I don't necessarily think it's "politics" to observe that if the proposed solution is, "just hire more GMs" that said GMs aren't exactly something that they'd be able to materialize from thin air. Arguments on forums tend to promote these types of solutions then once you begin to bring up pesky factors such as "reality" they immediately retract to, "well it's just a suggestion." I don't think this really helps move things along...but that's just me.
