Can you go to to the local shop and buy a 10p mars bar.

What does that have to do with a WoW Token?

You go out, you farm n hours. Before the wowtoken could give you CoD, you could get X from your sales. Now you can only get X/2 maybe. That means you must farm for 2n hours.

Warcraft gold -> token -> battlenet balance -> new game - > gone. It does not go the other way.

You mention in your blog that internal and external economies are different. If they aren't the same there is an inbalance.

That doesn’t mean the gold is removed from the game. That means the price of the token changes over time. It’s still incorrect to say gold is removed. At least watch the video from

Pretty sure, overall, it's the other way around and there's a bit of gold creation with how the system has a "lock-in" price for token sellers.

its such a contraversial and interesting subject, I'm open to listening! (except when I'm told flat out that I'm bad and wrong)

Complex. Here's my econ-y perspective: Exchange rate of gold to items within the WoW economy increases when raw gold is introduced or items are removed. Nothing has changed. The exchange rate of gold-to-Dollars increases when gold is introduced or the token changed. Two markets.

Which leads to the observed price dynamic for tokens. Gradual increase in price due to the general inflation of WoW gold together with Massive spikes when the utility of tokens has increased (New games you can buy, ability to buy more than just game time etc. )
