Bro these are high schoolers working fast food

Who was begging? And for what?

Were you just baiting out a comment to reply with this joke

They are capable of it, but I don't really see why they would. Making the tokens cost more gold would mean less people willing to buy them on the AH and therefore less people selling tokens. I think the prices have just exploded because of the mount releasing. As someone else mentioned on here, I believe Blizzard just sets a minimum price for tokens.

You can not sell gold to Blizzard

Edit: I stand corrected, you can purchase tokens and turn them into game time, but I didn't know they could be turned into $15 battle net balance. This mount does, indeed, cost less gold than the original Brutosaur (or did before token prices skyrocketed)

Yeah it's always been a status symbol. Nowadays it isn't even that useful because they put auction houses in the expansion cities anyway, so it's basically just a status symbol for people who spend WAY too much time on the auction house. This mount isn't even half as P2W as people would have you believe.

That thing is still earnable every so often in game if you catch it on the black market

They did not remove it, people still use them all the time and it's available on the "black market" (an NPC that sells normally unavailable things) every so often. The mount was just an enormous gold sink for people with a ton of money.

They probably meant 170k gold in-game

Also what they haven't said is that the price is set by players of the game,. When someone buys a WoW token and exchanges it for gold, that's because a player has paid them with gold they earned for the token. These tokens can be then used to pay for your monthly subscription.

Right, so that's why we should let the guy who would kill Palestinian kids and trans people win. Equality

Yeah, you guys have a fair bit more than a "boring" level of corruption yourselves, tbh.

The TRPG "Troika!" has a module that is basically exactly this called "Get It At Sutlers"

It just generates a dungeon crawl contained entirely within a department store by the name of Sutlers
