Just the idea together gives me mixed feelings.
There is a limit over there, the seller has a limit of tokens they can buy from Blizzard, the buyer has a limit of tokens he can have at once, so people can't just buy 1-2 years of sub while it's cheap, they will have to deal with the price changes.

None of the crafted pieces are bis. Having good secondary stats is not equal to bis, all of them are replaced either by augmented shire or alexandrian.

Let's clarify two things.

You don't know what BiS means, you can't say "people can buy the best gear" when that's not the best gear available in that patch, the best gear available in even patches is augmented capped tomestone gear and savage gear.

And second, be honest, you're also against the principle, which is fine by itself, but don't pretend that you're concerned about a market damage that isn't there and will never be there, there's no downsides to this other than it conflicts with the principles of some people, if those people came here stating that they are against the principle we would save a lot of pages arguing instead of fearmongering about this token causing the 8th calamity.
