The price for the MTX in other games means until recently grinding gold in WoW was a great way to fund battlepasses and other cosmetics in say Overwatch.1 token = £9.99 which is basically 1000 overwatch coins and some change left over.I quit wow but not before turning all my gold into battlenet balance which managed to give me about £150 which has pretty much funded my entire Overwatch 2 experience.If blizzard actually decreased the cost of their MTX in other franchises to appropriate levels you'd see less reliance on the token to fund nice things.
Yeah right, thats not why prices are going up, its due to massive inflation from bots.
There is nothing in the game, both in terms of content and cosmetic.Unfortunately, the AH mount won't be able to attract players unless niche items like Legion Mage Tower artifact transmogs are back in the game. Even the trading post doesn't get any attention because they are constantly adding garbage transmogs there. Even the mounts in the DF package are garbage, nothing really worth taking.No one looks at this game as it is and the token price rises. People really want to get unique looks or something worth their effort, but the blizzard doesn't care.If such nonsense transmogs designed something few but really good looking instead of designing ridiculous mounts, people would struggle to have them. Even the KSM mount is a disgrace, what exactly should we play this game for? For those obnoxious transmogs that are added to the Trading Post every month and that we won't even use once after getting them?
Blizzard controls the price of the token... they have from the start so this is all speculation at best.
Historic inflation
China bots has broken the economy of TW server for a long time .
Blizzard should have just set it at a static price; 20,000 gold. That's what it was when it first came out, and so far, that has been the ONLY acceptable price. I don't care how rich or poor you are; anything over five digits was always overpriced. I'd rather just pay for six months up front and leisurely play at my own pace.
Delete this market bull and set stable price for token, the way its now is horrible, only AH whales that sit on piles of gold ara able to buy token now
