EU is at 47.5k US at 25.5.

Playing WoW for free is very much possible these days and doesnt even take all that much time. Missions + garden + mine is like 10 minutes a day per character.

I can't believe Blizzard actually thinks this whole token system is a good idea with how easy it is for players to make gold. Wouldn't this just plunge them into the negatives?

Someone still has to buy the tokens with RL money for them to appear on the AH. If nobody is buying tokens, the system just shuts down by itself.

The mine and herb garden stop being worth it at some point before 11 characters, but then you can just turn excess GR into whatever trade goods you need so it doesn't matter.

Right, Blizzard is actually making at least +$5 per player who uses tokens, since their subscription is essentially $20 a month.

Yep. Every token sub actually earns blizzard money, pretty smart system from a business standpoint.

Yeah I included gold made from selling weapon/armor upgrades (steelforged essence etc) on the ah. That made me actually way more than the mission gold.
Cant make as much with that anymore though.

Every token used instead of a sub gives blizzard £15 instead of £10.(sub price).
it's just highlighting the gold and income disparity between the top 10% and bottom 90% that it exists and runs the way it does. All those people buying 25k for $20..
The more shocking thing is that most of it is caused by lack of knowledge, not by time or skill. They just have not looked up what to do to get a lot of income.

Well it also highlights the income disparity in real life. :D
I guess those that buy gold with money simply dont care about the €/$ since they have enough of them. So no reason to feel bad for them.

I bought them before, mostly for a lack of ability to generate 50k gold in a short amount of hours. I had a lot of income, but it took weeks to do anything.
with 6.2 it's better

I put a fair chunk of the blame on the garrison itself. Despite being a defining feature of the expansion it's really poorly explained, so it's very easy to end up at level 100 with a garrison that yields very little because you didn't intuit that you needed to build a Salvage Yard and level up your followers.

If nobody buys tokens the gold price for them will simply go up and it'll be more attractive again fo people to buy them. It's quite clever.

horray the free market at work!

The annoying part about it in that so many different countries play on Europe that you kinda get screwed if you want to buy it with gold in western europe.
A lot of countries have literally no reason to buy them for real money ( Russia, Maghreb, eastern europe ) so the demand is a lot bigger than the supply overall here, thus the price. ( 50k gold ish )
I know a lot of people I play with ( French server ) don't bother at all with the token in gold unless they're filthy gold rich.

I bought a token for ~50k for the patch, then sold 4 of those 1000 rep items for 20k-30k in a couple of days... I'm fine with it :D

With the nerf to Salvage Yard is it really still worth building for alts you plan to use as gold generators?

All those people buying 25k for $20.. The more shocking thing is that most of it is caused by lack of knowledge, not by time or skill. They just have not looked up what to do to get a lot of income. I put a fair chunk of the blame on the garrison itself. Despite being a defining feature of the expansion it's really poorly explained, so it's very easy to end up at level 100 with a garrison that yields very little because you didn't intuit that you needed to build a Salvage Yard and level up your followers. With the nerf to Salvage Yard is it really still worth building for alts you plan to use as gold generators?
Yes, I never bother selling greens on AH (time investment for me is not worth looking up every green I get) and simply vendor right there. Even with very few gold missions I can make upwards of 1-2k a log in or so off of my 6(?) salvage yards.
If I actually spent time AHing most of the SY stuff I would make way way more than I do currently, I'm just trying not to take too long per login cycle.

You should just get TSM and learn it if you're short on time when logging in.
Warning : playing the AH when you know TSM can become very addictive..

It is for two reasons.
1. You get roughly 10g per crate post-nerf, which is still a significant amount.
2. If you're still working on getting your alt up and running you're going to need the follower upgrades. Some of the best Treasure Missions are iLvl 675.
There's also the point Noocta made about transmog and TSM, but I hate the AH.
