Blizzard to implement ways to earn gametime for gold and sell gametime for gold

[LoveOne]

Price will be hard set by Blizz. Seller cant set their price

NOT TRUE!

Q: How much gold will I receive when I sell a WoW Token?
A: The gold value of a Token will be determined dynamically based on supply and demand. When you put a Token up for sale, you’ll be quoted the amount of gold you’ll receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after another player purchases your Token.

yeh players cant set the price but say today there 50K ok not happy with it i'll wait a week it could go up or down.

Time to get farming for gold & gametime!
Everything will be completely overpriced, since every player wants to play for "free".

I like this new, yet another, great idea by blizzard to wash away ingame gold! Keep it up!

*turns on farm accounts*

Now the Question is, If you have run out of gametime, how do you buy gametime ingame if you can't log on?

Usually you cant. (EVE Online have 4h free for that case)

Source: World of Warcraft without subscriptions is coming, here's how it works | Polygon

"Hazzikostas says Blizzard is currently planning to provide an option for lapsed subscribers who may have a lot of gold sitting around to log in and purchase Tokens without having to purchase a subscription at all. In effect, if you have enough gold saved up and continue getting lots, you could never have to pay real money for a World of Warcraft subscription ever again."

new info from interview: Blizzard Introduces the WoW Token: Exchange Gold and Game Time - Wowhead News

it looks promising

You posted same link as OP....

So i see that the price will vary supply vs demand.
I think when it starts, people will put up thousands of tokens at once, then with instant no demandish the price of the tokens will go WAY down.

This is where we need to purchase the tokens

I don´t think that Blizz algorithm will be that bad

[Van9690]

Supply and demand can either be extremely lucrative or an insane loss. Going on other large mmos that have incorporated a token/item for game time (such as runescape bonds) the following seems to be present:

1) people buy ALOT for fast gold.. And sure, sell some
2) this price decreases as surplus continued to increase
3) since some of the surplus starts to be used and buying slows down
4) prices finally stabalise and will only significantly alter upon a large update (new expac/content/school and summer holidays etc)

From personal experience I find near the end of stage 2 and definately during/end of stage 3 is the most lucrative time to buy, then sell during peak times as suggested in stage 4. Of course, this is not full proof but hopefully this gives some of you an idea of what is most likely to happen.

When you log in that account if you have the gold avaliable to purchase time there will be a button to push to purchase the time. Also, the veteran system is in place so you can log into any account at any time. You just cant get on a char higher than lvl 20.

Taking the Runescape route.

Nice Blizzard.

It was just an idea that Blizz is looking into in game in future,
but didn't confirm which patch it would be done.

A good news anyway ^ ^

[Trixiap]

"It was" but now it is announced feature for next patch
