I'm sure many of you have heard the whole "think about how much money you've spent on that game" thing a thousand times... I know I used to. Over the past decade, that has really added up. Sure I've had jobs, gotten scholarships, traded a few items for some free gametime, but I can't help to wonder where that money would have gone if I had never had to pay for subscription fees for the past 10 years.
Well as you're aware, Blizzard introduced the WoW Token and I'm sure you're familiar by now with how it works. If you aren't I'll give a brief overview but the official site gives every bit of information that you need to know.
Long story short, the cycle starts when player "A" wants to purchase WoW Gold from Blizzard in a 100% legal way. He spends $20 and Blizzard gives him a WoW Token that he is then able to sell on the AH to another player for around 35,000 gold depending on server. The prices fluctuate. Well let's say player "B" wants to buy gametime with his gold, so he spends the 35,000g on the WoW Token which grants him 30 days of gameplay to his account. Player A has now earned around 35,000g and player B now has 30 days of gameplay added to his account without any subscription purchase.
Instead of paying for a WoW Subscription, some people whom may want to save their money for Blizzard Products or Blizzard Services may be interested in being able to never have to pay for a subscription again. That 15 dollars a month could be used for other services or items instead.
Now personally, I had never been good at farming gold, playing the auction house, flipping items, controlling an economy and I've never put in the extra effort in the first days of an expansion to focus on gold. Well, personally I've not had to worry about a subscription or gametime for a long time now, and as a very casual player, this completely changed my outlook on playing the game.
Instead of feeling like "I payed for 30 days of gametime, I need to try to play a lot and get my worth" it's turned into "well I'm playing for free, so I can play as long or as short as I'd like and I can just do whatever I want. I don't feel guilty spending 5 days without playing."
I know there are other guides and videos to how you can make x00,000g per hour, but none of those methods were really as realistic nor reliable as they claim to be for me. I wanted something that I could casually do as little or as much as I'd like, for as few or as many days as I'd like and have real gold in my bags, not item worth values of gear that won't sell for months / years.
