Players finally put their minds at ease. Many people have actually been speculating on one question: when will the Time Badges in World of Warcraft WLK Classic collapse, or when will they appreciate rapidly? Because according to the progress of the World of Warcraft game, as the version advances, the appreciation rate of Time Badges will definitely accelerate. Of course, another theory is the depreciation of G-coins, which can be seen by comparing the G-coin prices of the official server and the classic server, and this phenomenon also exists between the TBC classic server and the WLK classic server.
Some time ago, the price of the Time Badge was roughly maintained at around 6000G coins, which was relatively stable, and players did not buy or sell in large quantities. But these two days are a little different. Take today as an example, the highest price of the Time Badge reached 7600G coins, and the lowest price reached 6700G coins, which is much higher than usual. However, today the price suddenly dropped sharply. The reason for the rapid drop is actually very simple.
The group copy in World of Warcraft has always been regarded as a powerful gold coin recovery mechanism. Whenever the game enters the development period, players will eagerly look for NPCs and buy various mixtures and potions in the auction house to meet the challenge. Therefore, whenever the group copy is opened, the price of the time badge tends to drop, while the purchasing power of gold coins increases relatively. However, the gold coin recovery ability of the group copy has obvious limitations. Once the difficulty of the group copy is reduced, its recovery effect will be greatly reduced.
The essence of the gold recovery mechanism of the raid lies in the gold consumption caused by its high difficulty. However, in the WLK nostalgic server, the validity period of this mechanism is relatively short. The reason is that the official strengthened the buff and reduced the health of the monsters shortly after the game was released, thereby speeding up the players' clearance speed and reducing the difficulty. This makes it easier to clear the raid, thereby weakening its gold recovery ability.
However, the reduction in the difficulty of the group dungeon is not completely useless. It has stimulated the enthusiasm of players to play the group dungeon. Imagine if a group dungeon originally took ten hours to complete, most players might be discouraged; but now it only takes one hour, it can attract more players to try. In addition, the reduction in equipment prices also makes it easier for players to obtain the equipment they want.
As for the fluctuation of the price of the Time Badge, it has little impact on ordinary players. It can even be said that the higher the price of the Time Badge, the more beneficial it is to ordinary players. Because no matter how the price of the Time Badge changes, the cost required for players to shop at NPCs remains unchanged; at the same time, the income obtained by players through playing the game has increased. This means that players can buy more items from NPCs with the same gold coins.
However, as the difficulty of Ulduar and other raids decreases, their benefits will also decrease accordingly. This is because the universal convenience will lead to a decrease in the price of raid equipment. But this is good news for ordinary players because they can get BIS equipment more easily. For those studios that rely on gold coin transactions, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Because the surge in the price of the Time Badge will cause the gold coins in their hands to depreciate.
Therefore, for most ordinary players, the fluctuation of the price of Time Badge will not have a substantial impact. They are mainly concerned about the purchase of monthly cards rather than the transaction of Time Badge. Those who are really affected are mainly those studios and individuals who buy Time Badges in exchange for gold coins. Therefore, ordinary players do not need to worry that the change of Time Badge price will have a negative impact on their game experience.
