Hello! Welcome to the 314th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up!
This week we cover the topic of «Just Buy a Token» and what that means between different players and how it's an option for many. We also go further to discuss the timing of gold making and the choices we have in the various flavours of WoW. I go through my own plans for 2024 and we have a great new tool for helping search for items in Cross Realm Trading! Finally, we have some great advice for setting up old world professions
My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!
Thistopic came up this week as a complaint about advice given on the woweconomy subreddit, but it highlights the differences between players and gold makers and how the border between both is blurred. Sometimes the answer is to buy a Token if you want gold. The greater question is what do you want and what do you enjoy?
Someone who just wants a bit more gold to buy nice things in the game can go about it in different ways, all dependent on the time and resources they have IRL vs in-game and what they enjoy doing. As they as «Time is Money, friend».
The choices a player has to make gold in game and the volumes are constantly changing, even more so in recent times. We are at the late stage of an expansion and popular options like gathering are heavily diminished.
