Warband Bank access revoked for F2Ps & Vets

[RiverpawGrinder]

It's counter-intuitive, but I was going to stay subbed for a while, and then they did this and it kind of killed the desire to give them any of my money.

I was looking forward to making a twink army during the time I cancel my sub because I don't play as much, but now I'm just going to play something else and probably forget about WoW.

So, yeeaaaah... Backfired in my case. Good job, Blizzard.

Also, i want to ask what do they plan to do to those items locked in warband? They gave ZERO warning , ZERO time for players to transfer their items out. It is not just those locked in the warband, some subbed players also use f2p bank/reagent bank to store their reagents. Now all these are fxxxed up by an irresponsible move from an irresponsible company.

Glad that now I can free up that 100GB of my harddisk. See you no more.

You wanna farm gold as F2P and then pay for 1 month sub? Nots gonna happen. Blizz found it first.

Kek, to farm the gold on a f2p to pay for the sub, while having a gold cap of 1k, would take forever, even with high-gold vendor items stuffed in inventory. I never planned on stacking enough gold for it, besides, pretty sure it wouldn’t even have paid for a token thru gold stored in bank, which means if you stacked each character with 1k gold and made the max amount of characters (think its 60) you would still not be able to get a token.

With access to the warband bank, there was not really a gold cap for f2p, as you just put all the gold into the bank. You could farm until you reach the 1k on a char an then put the gold into the bank.
I think it still would take long time to get enough for a token on a lvl20.

Does anyone even farm raw gold any more?

I guess you could do backpacks+dirt piles in Dragon Isles...

Anything else is really an inconsequential amount of gold, all things considered.

My theory is that their net code sucks and that's the reason they changed this.
Although I really don't know how bad it would have to be for the total of all f2p wbb transfers to equal even one TSM goblin bot torturing the servers by rescanning and reposting items.

As a f2p you can't buy a Wow Token.
First Problem: You need the full amount of gold on a single toon not on your warbank.
2nd Problem: As vet you need to have a subscription in your recent history that is not too old or blizzarz wont allow you to buy a wow token. As a f2p you never had a sub so you aren't allowed to buy a token from blizzard as well.

You used to able to reactivate sub via token at the character selection screen, not anymore, they changed that you need to have an active sub to buy / use token now.

Wait, since when?

Maybe they disabled the "buy a token with gold" thing, but I resubbed using a token on my bank char about a month ago.
TBF, the char was lvl 10, so I could log in.

It even sent me to the character selection screen to activate the token from there.

I only remember reading it in some patch notes but don't remember when

so it was you who caused them to revoke the warbank
