[Cash Shop Idea] Game Time Token

[MomomiMomi]

Converting in-game currency into sub time?

No. Buying a token from SE that is then sold to a player for gil. SE gets $. Player who bought the token for gil gets sub time.

SE makes as much money as it does now. Actually, probably even more.

Oh sorry misunderstood, so that's basically converting real money to gil then?

Still i don't see how that works when there's no way to limit the Gil each item costs, max is 999,999,999 and i highly doubt anyone is going to buy for that much.

People would keep cutting others by 1 gil.

Even so it would allow some players not to pay a sub ever again, if they're super rich.

I can see it working if the cost is the same as a 30 Day Game time, but then we're at the market price without limits again.

The price is determined by the system, not the players.

From the WoW Token FAQ:

Q: How much gold will I receive when I sell a WoW Token?
A: The gold value of a Token will be determined dynamically based on supply and demand. When you put a Token up for sale, you’ll be quoted the amount of gold you’ll receive upon a successful sale. If you then decide to place the Token up for sale, that amount is locked in, and the gold will be sent to your mailbox after another player purchases your Token.
