wow Blizzard's New Anti-Bot Measures Set to Drastically Slash WoW Token Prices

[Stan 4,866]

Blizzard is introducing new anti-bot measures on November 21, and it's likely to cause a significant drop in WoW token prices. Take Taiwan as an example: before these measures, the WoW token peaked at 1.2 million gold. After the implementation, it dropped to 595K gold!

This Saturday, Blizzard announced restrictions on WoW token purchases. Starting with the weekly reset on November 21, players won't be able to buy WoW tokens from the Auction House or in-game shop using gold unless they've bought and used at least 30 days of game time with real money since 2017.

Many botters rely on purchasing WoW tokens for game time for their bot accounts, and even gift tokens to create more bot accounts, without spending any real money. Blizzard's new restrictions aim to disrupt this cycle.

Remember in September, when the WoW token in Taiwan hit 1 million gold and kept rising, even though it was unavailable?

As Reddit user Etamalgren noted, the price kept increasing until September 26, reaching a whopping 1.25 million gold!

But after Blizzard rolled out anti-bot measures in Taiwan on September 29, we saw a steady decrease in WoW token prices in that region. Today, the token is valued at just 592K gold.

We're expecting similar trends in the NA and EU regions once these restrictions are in place.

This is good all around. Curious as to what the ultimate solution will be for bots though. This will slow things down, but it isn't a permanent fix.
