WoW Token Stabilized When Bots were Murdered

Coincidence? or did bots really have so much weight on the token price fluctuating.

View from May 13th, when the ban wave occurred, to present versus data previously recorded.

I think might be a coincidence with a decline in the interest of the token generally. Both real money and gold.

Even if the bots weren't banned I think we would have seen stabilization. I dont know if it would be wise investment for a botter to accumulate huge amounts of game time for gold

What I don't understand is why wow token price is still this low meaning $ per 1k is very high for token but illegal market gold price is horribly low i.e $ per 1k is very low. At some point don't these 2 markets have to move towards each other and find some equilibrium. I know gold prices have rebounded somewhat this week but that is mostly because of the HB bans (low gold supply to illegal market). But just last week on US servers token price were like 22k which translates to 0.90 per 1k while gold prices were going for around 0.30 per 1k (3x cheaper!!!) at PA.

What gives? Why are people not flocking to the illegal market to get cheaper gametime? Just right now gold sellers are spamming 10k for $4 on one of my servers while token price is at 22.168k. Game time for a little over $8 if you buy gold and use that gold to buy token...almost half price.

Still trying to figure out what's going on...just does not make economic sense to me as to how these 2 markets can be miles apart. Don't get me wrong I love it the way it is as it gives me more options on how to dump my gold.

I dont think bots were the ones who actually trigered this stabilization I think for every new thing on market there will be first few days or even weeks to adapt to the existing market and thats what happend.

But hey who the helll know's yeh?

This!

The WoWToken market is brutally moderated by Blizzard, they are yet to make it at least bit more market-dependent, but I cannot see this happening anytime soon. Correct me, if I am wrong.
