Will you be buying or selling gametime tokens?

    I will have to see the price they go for, but more than likely I will be buying one almost every month. There is just nothing in the game to use gold for anyway. So many items are BoP that gold became almost meaningless for active players.

    Depends on what you use the gold for. There's still a lot of uses for gold in game such as mounts and in game flair. Also the black market auctions provides low drop rate mounts to collect if that's your thing.

    That being said I most likely will end up purchasing the token with gold since I'm strapped for cash atm.

    I'll probably spend my gold elsewhere because I can still find some better uses for it than gametime tokens!

    It might be F2P for some because they are able to spend fake money on it instead of real money, but I don't think this signals the beginning of F2P as a whole for the game.

    There will still be people, like me, who get very bored farming for things and never seem to have more than 5,000 gold at a time and thus have to pay real money :) I'm not sure why that is, apart from just not having the patience to farm or do anything to really make money. I'd rather get out there and play. People like my husband though....when he played WoW, he always had buckets of gold. I don't know what their secret is, but I'm jealous.

    I hope to be buying them. I do well selling commodities on the auction house so if I can use my in game gold to pay for my subscription I'm all over it. We'll see if it ends up being worth it though the value will start fluctuating after a month or so I believe, so it may not be worth my time.

    I think that this is a clever idea from blizz and a sneaky little way to make a profit selling ingame currency for real world money. To buy a token and sell it on the AH I believe its what ...about 3 to 4 dollars more expensive than a monthly subscription? will have to do some research and get the exact $ amounts and repost them. But all in all, Blizz wins. And yes... I plan on buying them ingame... helps me save 15 bucks a month, I'm all for that!

    There are a lot of people selling these things for real money, which absolutely suprised me. In fact, in the USA, the price of the tokens is barely above 20k gold ( which means I can play for like 5 years for free). I think there are people who buy the tokens for gold just so they can save real money... but in my case, it is more about having no need for gold ingame and there being nothing to use it for. I really thought the price would hit 100k or more

    I might buy and use them in game with gold to add game time but I probably wouldn't buy them with money to sell. I accrue enough gold that it would save me some real money to pay for the game this way sometimes.
