I was browsing the net and it hit me, what if Blizzard implemented the ultimate gold sink. What if they allowed you to buy a month of WoW time for 10,000 gold? What would this do to the WoW economy? What would it do to the game as a whole? Would raiding suffer? Would PvP suffer?
Personally, I’ve never had 10K gold. I have a tendency to spend it on silly things like non-combat pets, mounts and alts. I can’t see it having too much of an impact on the in-game economy or world since I don’t think many people would actually take advantage of it.
The idea of converting in-game cash into out-of-games goods such as game time kind of reminds me of how gold selling sites will also offer to buy your gold. If you’re willing to go one way, I don’t really see why they would not go the other way.
I think if Blizzard started selling gold, it would kill or nerf whatever gold-buying market there is. Especially if their pricing was competitive with the current gold selling market.
Not that I see it happening, ever.
I began playing World of Warcraft during Easter week of 2005 at the behest of my younger brother and his cronies. My first character was a Night Elf Druid named Haitia who I leveled Balance. I am currently playing Alliance side again with my legion of alts. I am also an avid non-combat pet and mount collector.
