Regarding Blizzard's latest announcement on WOW tokens, I'm interested in everyone's thoughts. Here are some of mine.
I'm curious if they will fluctuate much with the server economies. For example, since Stormrage has been around longer, with a large population, it would follow that there is more gold on it making the cost in with game gold higher per WOW token (inflation) than on other servers.
Ergo, newer, younger, less populated server may have lower prices for WOW tokens. As a consumer, to pay my monthly bill, I would want to buy them where the price is cheapest. But, since there are fewer people, there may also be more demand, and less supply.
I'm not very keen on selling them, so to begin with I will probably only buy (in real world money) what I will consume, or just keep with the subscription model. It is an interesting idea for earning some in-game gold totally legit, and I think all-in-all it will be a good move.
I doubt it will make much of a dent in the black market of "services" and gold for real world money. There is little apparent investment by Blizzard now in policing the rampant market of gold selling in chat, selling PVP rankings (using bots, cheat, etc.) and as such making PVP rankings pretty meaningless, except for the few *real* top gold competitors.
