Well as expected the gold value is decreasing rather rapidly, atleast on EU. I just wanted to get everyones opinion on how cataclysm will effect the prices. Some good points I've heard: 1) Gold is a lot easier to get in cataclysm (80 gold daily rewards apparently?) - Edit: False on the daily comment (10 g per daily q and 250 maximum gold in total per day - Courtesy of John1337 who played the Catalycsm beta, thank you) 2) Demand will increase due to new ingame content. 3) A lot of people are stocking gold, so the new increase in demand for gold will be over rather quickly 4)Too many people farm gold now and just jizz their pants at the thought of making money off this game and decide to do it, meaning too much supply. 5) As gold is way easier to get in cataclysm. A few people are saying sell now as it will decrease further, unfortunately that's not a option for me when the price are so so low on my eu realms I'm botting on, which were great and had demand as little as 3 weeks ago. 6) Blizzard are planning a banwave come cata on a few bots driving the price up. It's late here and those are the points I remember off the top off my head, feel free to add theories of your own I am undecided myself right now. Could this be a utter disappointment for gold sellers? Are we about to see a great era of gold farming for cash? What do YOU think?
What I saw in the beta you will get 10 g per daily q and 250 g in total per day(if you did all q). Anyway I stock-picking gold too, at this moment there arent demands on eu servers at all.... Back to start of wotlk I am in one week sold all what I have. My recommendation is a wait. :]
gold prices will go up for a short time (2-3 days max) and they wont go up a lot. and after that they will fall down again to the current price or even lower. -my toughts on cata ^^
Demand will go up, and supply will go up, the former will raise the price and the latter will lower it. It all depends which will go up more.
