Players have a split on the issue

  • Since the tokens' release it is becoming apparent that WoTLK Gold is able to be used for practically anything in the game. While players aren't purchasing the latest stat-enhancing items or characters progress from Blizzard directly, buying and selling WoW Tokens does give players with a wealth of gold the possibility of purchasing power, albeit in a roundabout manner. From new and expensive ranks of famous items, and "carry runs" of experienced players who take you through highly rated Arenas and high-level Mythic plus dungeons or more difficulty raids, all of which give players the best items on the market, it's all for sale in exchange for gold.

    Players have a split on the issue, and it all boils down to each player's own definition. Certain players believe that although players can get better gear using gold, or use it to carry players through the most difficult content in the game, they don't make those purchasing tokens better or more competent players. But others say that being able to purchase money for any kind of benefit that isn't cosmetics-related is explicitly pay-to win, even if it is obfuscated by using that gold to pay other players for boosts instead of Blizzard directly.

    Pay-to-win and the increasingly large number of in-game microtransactions in general is the main reason why the popular former WoW content creator MadSeasonShow recently announced that he will be quitting the game. The image above of the discussion on the topic of pay-to win on Reddit was actually taken from MadSeason's video of departure and a majority of remarks in the thread echo cheap WoTLK Classic Gold own argument. This is a subject the creator of the content has researched in-depth before, in the hour-long video "The Battle of the LevelBoost," which discussed Blizzard giving a level bonus for Burning Crusade Classic, as well as other microtransactions like WoW Token.
