WoW players had to suffer because the beta for Destiny 2 was announced – the WoW token briefly shot up in price.
On August 13, some details about the PC beta of Destiny 2 were revealed. This caused a stir not only in the Destiny community but also made some waves in 
Apparently, many WoW players planned to buy Destiny 2 with the WoW tokens after the announcement, to start the Destiny 2 beta a day earlier than everyone else.
However, the boom did not last particularly long. Shortly after the announcement, the price fell back to a low of recent weeks – 223,406 gold. Afterwards, it stabilized at its current “normal value” of around 240,000 gold.
The WoW token was implemented to give players a way to pay subscription fees without using real money. Wealthy players can buy the token with real money and offer it for gold in the auction house. Those who have a lot of gold buy the token and convert it into a subscription.
Alternatively, the token can be exchanged for currency for the Battle.net shop. This allows other Blizzard games to be paid for, such as Hearthstone card packs, Overwatch loot boxes, or even entire games – like Destiny 2.
By the way: Since the introduction of the WoW token, prices have continued to rise. It’s hard to imagine that the token only cost a mere 35,000 gold at its launch in April 2015. Those who stocked up on tokens back then are probably laughing now.
Are you using the WoW token to get into Destiny 2? Or do you buy tokens and farm other WoW players for gold?
