A woW sub is still $14.99/month when this went into effect. The cost of a token is $20.00. For every token they sell, they are making a profit over the traditional sub price. What also happens is, the person who paid real money to sell it to another player in game will now receive a massive amount of game currency that they otherwise may not have had or worked to acquire. Now multiply that by players who buy said tokens to cover 3 to 6 months of game time. That's INSTANT money in the coffers and vastly more than a simple cost in an extremely short amount if time... like, hours.

The purchasing player gets their time to stay in the game longer and keep buying more tokens.

The selling player spends more to buy tokens but get in game gold AND the ability to now purchase high priced items from the AH that they couldn't afford before and have killer stats (pay to win)

Blizzard...gets the money. All of it.
Every. Single. Drop.

That's greed and they mastered it long ago.
The real evil here, imagine, you can buy your game time with the gold you have and gold buyers will buy gold directly from the company and not some shady gold sellers. In our game we dont support those devilish actions and directly use our fellow friend Sjfksdf Jhdsjds for getting some gils. Its not like they couldn't do same thing as Blizz and support their project with money people giving for gold, instead of shoving dozens of new clothes that you can't obtain in game as years go by.
Dont forget folks, wow bad, ff xiv good.
