You guys are speaking in the vacuum that gold sellers wouldn't exist, but they do, so the price (which will be decided by the players) won't go much far away than gold sellers price. The "rich" can get as much gold as they want already by gold farmers.

So what the plex system does is it gives people the option to choose a safe legit way to trade real money cash for gold, or they can stick to the gold farmers, people prefer the safer, even if they have a bit more, but not if the difference is too big.

And of course it does nothing to stop inflation. It is about the gold farmers, not economy.

I know this might be a little too late, but I'm trying to host a Mythic Siege run tonight around 19:30 EU server time. I'm mainly looking for people who know basic tactics for normal/hc, have decent gear (say... 550-560 or so) and patience. Feel free to add me. + Show Spoiler +

Because we saw how well that worked out for Diablo 3.

It's not even remotely the same.

once your 90 go to the Timeless Isle.
while your flying there go look up the guide on Wowhead or somesuch place. Get all the chests and kill one of the Celestial world bosses at the center square. (note that one chest hard to reach without the cloak.

This should get you a full set of gear and some rings/neck/cloak.

Then you can try a SoO LFR if you have the ilvl for it and otherwise you might need to do the previous tier for some stuff.

And other then that you wait 2 weeks to WoD :p
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Gold for game time is different than that, m4ini. It actually has a MASSIVE anti-inflationary effect. In order to make it work properly, it wouldn't be able how much gold people have, but how fast they can obtain gold. There's a large stockpile of gold because of how late we are in an expansion and how little gold matters IRL. People essentially don't have anything to spend gold on at vendors, which means it piles up as people sell crap to vendors.

If you create a massive gold sink that has persistent high value, then you'll get a lot of deflationary pressure. This pressure reverberates into the AH, bringing down mat buy/sell prices as more gold is sucked out of the system, making it harder to accumulate the large amounts you need for extra game time.

The only equalizing effect it has is that it gives a valuable sink for the gold rich players to throw their money into.


The problem is the model they're suggesting doesn't let you directly buy game time for gold, you buy it for money and it's BoU rather than BoP, as in you can trade it.

This basically means that it does nothing to stop inflation, it just makes the people who spend the most RL money very, very rich in-game.

If they let you directly spend gold on it, WoW's profits would tank because the most hardcore players (that keep the game sub numbers up by both being a solid demographic and inspiring more casual people to continue playing for raiding/PvP) will never pay a sub again, and people that illicitly buy gold (probably at a discounted value to the relative value of a WoW sub) will be able to play without giving a dime to Blizzard as well.

That's not to mention the huge gold reserves that will make it so that nearly everyone gets at least a free month.

Oh, never mind then. That's a stupid model of P2W if I ever saw it.

Worked great for EVE and Wildstar.


Because they had it at launch (or relatively near) and built around it. WoW's been out for a decade, adding it now would do more harm than good.

I think there was more potential harm in wildstar than I see in wow. Gold was important for gearing up for raiding in wildstar. They messed up their itemization and a lot of BoE stuff was optimal. The equivalent to gemming/enchanting/upgrading was actually expensive, not a given like it is in WoW.

In WoD, people can provide for themselves without even going out of their way to farm. Being super rich might give a small competitive benefit at the start, but ultimately being rich in WoW is for cosmetic stuff and for carries. I don't see why competitive people would care about gold sales being legitimized. What important benefits is a Mythic raiding guild missing out on by not being super rich? What important benefits are rank 1 arena players missing out on? Maybe I'm missing something.

I think WoW has already built around this mechanic because a copy of it exists on the black market and they couldn't get rid of it. They already built a game where extra gold doesn't really matter. You get the gold you need in the process of doing things you want to do anyway. I think boosts are probably more harmful than selling gold because having max level alts can actually be very helpful.

I wouldn't bother with Tich Horde, if the reason is what I think it is (all the big time pvp guys playing there). Word on the street is, everyone is going Alliance in WoD due to overall slightly better racials.

Comp matters more than anything else. Back in the day, Orangemarm's RMP could definitely outplay comps that were favored.

Yeah that was the reason. Well, I'll still move to Tich then, just undecided whether to go Alliance or Horde.

w-w-why won't you tell us your battletag

I'm guessing you're moving because aus servers killed your ping completely.

And yes. 320 ping not fun. I think I get ~150-160 on Tich which is fine.
