The craziest stories follow one another on Blizzard's P2W MMO, this time it's a clever player who converted his stock of gold coins on World of Warcraft, in exchange for WoW tokens that he converted into the Battle.net wallet, in order to become a whale without paying real money.

Some players have extreme hobbies, and it's sure to get people talking. A few years ago, Daymeeuhn bought No Man's Sky ahead of release for over $1,300, before he started leaking videos of the game, which turned out to be incredibly disappointing. It got a lot of talk at the time, and now it's being attacked in Diablo Immortal, but from a different angle. That of one of the biggest whales in the game, with 7000 resonance and a budget of $50,000 , allowing it to rub shoulders with other monsters in battlegrounds, like Megashield, which resulted in some clashes interesting. He explained all of this in detail in an English post on Reddit , here are explanations in French of his actions and strategy, as well as some background to help you understand the process.

WoW Tokens as payment method in Diablo Immortal

But it's not so much the use of the $50,000 in Diablo Immortal that's interesting, but how he got all that money, since he wouldn't have paid anything out of pocket a priori, and that everything comes from the WoW token trading system. It's been a few years since Blizzard introduced a system of converting gold to WoW tokens in its MMO . It allows players to convert their gold into tokens, which can then be used to pay for their subscription, which turns out to be a good deal for less fortunate players.

WoW Tokens can also be redeemed in the Battle.net Wallet for 20 euros (or 15 dollars) in order to then make other purchases in the Blizzard Shop and in game, in this case, in Diablo Immortal. Daymeeuhn is said to have used the system to the extreme, as he converted $50,000 worth of WoW tokens, or around 600 million gold, which is an outrageous sum, if not seemingly impossible to obtain normally. .

How to get 600 million gold in World of Warcraft?

The problem in all of this is how he was able to get so much in-game gold. If it's any reassurance, he didn't farm it all himself. Instead, he used a high-value item there, which he had in large supply, BlizzCon loot cards . Daymeeuhn held a stockpile of the BlizzCon loot cards distributed over the years by Blizzard. As an attendee of the event, he would buy the physical scratch cards from other BlizzCon attendees who didn't really want them, in exchange for some cash . The objective was then to resell these cards online for real money in order to make a significant margin, unfortunately there are many scams in this area, so he preferred to forget the idea, after losing a few codes without touching anything . He's kept his cards in stock over the years, and they've gone up in value ever since. When he realized Diablo Immortal was coming to PC, he realized by extension that WoW Tokens were becoming an in-game currency. gold of WoW greatly amused him, and motivated him to take on this challenge.

He therefore spent a month scratching his loot cards, entering the codes, and reselling objects like the Spectral Tiger (which are not linked) on Discord servers specialized in transactions of the genre, in exchange for absurd amounts. of gold in play. They easily start at 5 or 6 million gold these days, or approximately 500 euros. It didn't go through the auction house, but exchanging items for in-game gold is completely legal, and approved by Blizzard, unlike exchanging them for real money. He thus avoided the risk of being banned.

He also allegedly caused a prolonged shortage of WoW Tokens on his server when exchanging his stock of gold, which certainly proved to be a nuisance for quite a few players.

They obviously did better with their money than some of the big streamers and whales who claim to have paid $100,000, since they faced quite a few of them in battlegrounds, and they decimated their character with a Necromancer by the name of Naecabon, located on tthem US Prime Evils server.
