If you [hide]buy a Guardian Cub[/hide] with real money, you can sell it for in-game gold; effectively purchasing gold. If you’re one of the millions of WoW players who are constantly cash-strapped in game, you now have the option of leaving the whole gold making process to others: simply buy a 10$ pet that can be sold for gold on the AH. BoE gear, mounts, flying training, and alts are all expensive, and making money (playing the AH, doing dailies, selling valor point BoE gear, etc) isn’t the most fun use of some peoples’ time. This change will be a welcome one for those who would rather spend the time needed to make 10$ at their day job than hours grinding gold. Additionally, pet collectors who also play the gold-making game will be able to get a pet from the pet store without having to lay out real money for it.

So how much will these pets cost anyways? The answer will vary from realm to realm, but one thing is certain: the demand for the pets will spike out of the door, and fall off a cliff as soon as enough people have one. Also, repeat business isn’t any more likely than for other Blizzard Store items — I almost never see people sporting their [hide]Lil’ K.T[/hide] or [hide]sparkle ponies[/hide] these days, and imagine that few people still pay real money for them. As the demand drops off, these will sell for less and less gold. The supply is directly related to the number of people buying them from the store for resale on the AH. This means that the more gold the cubs are worth, the more supply there will be. Eventually, as demand peters out, people will be less likely to buy them for resale. In short, if you want to buy gold without breaking the terms of service, get it while the getting is good. The gold per pet will go nowhere but down, unless Blizzard likes this system so much that they introduce more items like this.[hide]Continue reading Gold Capped: Legally buy gold with the Guardian Cub[/hide][hide]Gold Capped: Legally buy gold with the Guardian Cub[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:00:00 EST.
