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?
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?
I’m not sure if it is a problem, each currency has a specific purpose (ie materials split by expansion for a more level playing field on expansion release, faction specific, event)
I feel like it’s well designed if anything
