    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

    Some things I wonder why.

    Q: Can I resell a WoW Token after I’ve purchased it for gold?
    A: No, each WoW Token can only be sold once. After you purchase a Token for gold, it becomes Soulbound. At that point, it can only be redeemed for game time.
    Q: I need gold! How do I sell a WoW Token to another player?
    A: You’ll be able to sell WoW Tokens through a dedicated Token exchange in the Auction House, located in a new Game Time section. WoW Tokens cannot be traded or sold any other way.

    In Rift (they call it REX not tokens), three things I do are stock up on REX when they are cheap in AH, trade them to my alts when needed, or relist them in AH if prices go way up.

    I wonder why they just couldn't make tokens a regular item to be bought and sold for whatever reason I want?

    Because some intrepid souls would figure out how to use it beyond the scope of the original design, causing complaints or other undesired behavior.

    Hmm. This may get me back into wow. It would depend on the cost of the tokens. If I can pay for game time like I did in eve with in game money I may have to dust off my wow isboxer configs and relearn the game again.

    Some more info on the matter, including some statements from Ion Hazzikostas: http://venturebeat.com/2015/03/02/wo...-cow/view-all/

    Some highlights from the article:
    • Slated for patch 6.1.2, a small update that will hit the Public Test Realm in the near future
    • Region-wide exchange, not limited to your realm(s)
    • Reactivate lapsed accounts from the character selection screen (provided you have enough gold)
    • Blizzard will set the starting price, after that it's up to supply and demand
    • Changes are considered with regard to BoE epics (from raids as well as the BMAH)

    Does this mean they are going to nerf BoE epics?

    I certainly hope not. It is the most reliable way to make money for my teams and, more broadly, provides a great way for people to gear up their alts. The number of trash runs being advertised (especially when a raid is fairly new) means a TON of players enjoy them. This would eliminate a significant percentage of game time for a lot of folks if they did away with them.

    Anyone have a price guess? I'd say this is worth it at 30k for me.

    Because Gold Goblins would buy them all up with TSM snipe and control the prices. The intention of this tool was to allow normal folks a chance to buy the tokens. I can see a need for multiboxers to activate secondary and Tertiary accounts that cant use the AH to purchase items though. I'm sure that you can work with customer service to gift excess time to your other accounts.

    Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it"
