Actually super agree, and surprised people aren’t as on board with this.
Why the fuck should anyone have to do Ogrila dailies in 2025 if they just want a cool item for transmog? What is the point of currencies that trade for other currencies? Does anyone really need to make going back through Warlords of Draenor any worse?
Blizz already has converted old currencies to gold in the past. Would it really hurt the old and forgotten content of Retail if it was made more accessible to new players?
did they retire some. I remember sto tried to cut it down and then every event had a currency and all sorts of other grind related ones. they quickly had more than before they sunsetted some.
Wow, and here I thought Path of Exile’s currency was complicated.
So … like Earth?
rather more of them than on earth, according to the article.
Wowhead, the database of Warcraft items, lists 1,203 types of currency in the game. To be fair, some of those have been retired, and others are currency for a single item or purpose—but in comparison, the entire world (not of Warcraft) only has 180.
What about meme coins? /s
You made me curious.
It appears that there are 180 currencies recognised by the UN. It also appears that there are less independent currencies, the example I saw was the Danish Kroner which has a fixed exchange rate with the Euro.
What I don’t see in this are other forms of exchange. There’s the obvious crypto currencies, of which I’m in no doubt there are plenty.
But that’s not the only way to exchange value. Barter is one, donation is another. I suspect that there are plenty more.
Donation by definition doesn’t exchange value?
Well, that’s just not true.
The person receiving the donation receives something of value and the person who donates receives either a good feeling or a tax deduction, or both.
Eh, i couldn’t tell you like, what ⅒ of those currencies were, but if I’m not mistaken those “currencies” author is talking about are really more like xp unlocks for specific gear. PvP/PvE gear have their own stats and tiers and “currency” cuz before this was implemented, it was tough for beginners to get geared up for tougher dungeons (no one wants to run a PUG for an hour or 2 and get nothing) and back then top-geared PvE guilds could roll dedicated PvP groups with their PvE purples.
It’s not really a problem I’ve heard players complain about
Wow so fucking convoluted. In other MMOs
