Blizzard is stealing SE ideas......BUT

[Chasingstars]

You do know that any item on the WoW store can also be obtained via buying WoW tokens and exchanging them for Blizzard balance right?

Oh yes the wow token, who could forget, the thing that is just blizzard letting people have a legal tender form of gold selling instead of going to a 3rd party website.

Also how the WoW Token is well known amongst the WoW Community on how it enables RMT, how it screws over the economy because of gold inflation and price inflation. Its well known for being used for raid carries and for boosting someones pvp rank to higher than it should be. Its also used to buy gear.

That just because you can farm gold to buy a token and therefore increase the money in your account balance, doesn't mean people don't directly swipe with their credit cards to buy gold through a wow token.

OSRS also has bonds. The tragedy...

RMT would be an issue in FF14 if gil actually mattered but it doesnt but u still see bots daily in each city advertising while I don't see any of that in WoW. RMT has always existed, will always exist even back in TBC era of WoW with the incursion of chinese goldfarmers. I'd rather give my money to blizzard than Chang personally.

At this point it just sounds like someone at Blizzard HQ diddled you

Also this part is false because WoW token gold doesn't appear out of thin air and their price has a cap. Boosting is also not against WoW rules and boosting happens a lot, even with RMT, in FF14. If it wasnt for tokens it'd be for something else. Paypal transactions arent hard to setup. And u can literally RMT in FF14 and buy gear off the market board? Or I could pay for ultimate carries with my paypal balance?

If gil doesn't matter then why does crafted gear on a new patch sell for a lot? Oh wait, because it does matter.

Weird projection for you to just randomly throw out there, but you do you.

And if you got caught doing that in 14, you would get punished by SE. Again, you missed the point about having access to legal tender gold selling and RMT in world of warcraft thanks to the gold token.

Part of the reason the wow token is even as pricey as it is right now is because of bots in wow. Most common class used for botting? Druid, specifically Moonkins. Its been years at this point and Blizzard still hasn't fixed that, leaving it up to automation instead of actually having gms.
