What will start happening to WoW gold prices due to MoP?

[Buhzerk]

How will the gold market be effected with the release date/release of Mists of Pandaria? I'm wondering if I should buy it now, or if it will increase/decrease.

Thanks!

The fact that the amount of gold is going to increase due to the release of Mists of Pandaris is certain. However, that doesn't mean that you can buy the same things for that amount of gold as you used to - (Check PPP - Purchasing Power Parity). Of course there are some items that you can buy and resell during MoP that in theory would bring a profit, but it's always a risk and depends on the realm, so you better choose for yourself wether or not to buy and what to buy.

i think gold ingame increase in MoP and the reason i think that is because the new mount you can buy with 2 vendors on (Reins of the Grand Expedition Yak) will cost 120k ingame.

when mop opens the gold price will surely go up,but may just last for a while i guess,gold price is aways not stable.

[armistice]

it will go up for several months and then return to a more reasonable price

Price of gold will raise for at least 30% at the MoP release and then slowly go down in the following months.

yup... and due to inflation, after a few months there is going to be so much gold injected into WOW's economy it will prob cost $.50 p/1000g or even less... With that being said, doesn't mean you will have more buying power as Zomtorg said. Remember, in Vanilla, 1000g was freakin awesome amount of gold and it cost $100+ from the farmers... Then in TBC, same difference with 5000g. The sellers even used to sell it in 100g increments.

Due to massive inflation with each expansion, the value of gold diminishes and the cost generally goes down. Of course, at an expansion's release there is a temporary boost in cost due to massive demand, but then it settles down and eventually costs even less, again, due to inflation.
