World of Warcraft Game Director Addresses Concerns Over Postal Currency Trading

[Keith Stawarz]

In a new interview, World of Warcraft Game Director Ion Hazzikostas clarifies some details of the recent controversy surrounding the Trading Post feature. The message from Hazzikostas attempts to alleviate some of the concerns players have about trading posts and reveals some plans that may be implemented in a future World of Warcraft update. Players will be able to have enough WLK Gold ready in-game.

 

The Trading Post was released earlier this year along with patch 10.0.5 and has proven to be a success among players after a rocky launch of World of Warcraft. In the recent Trading Post update, the number of trader bids and rewards was expanded for July and August. Rewards such as Terrell's Warhorse and Grotto Spiritwing Hatchling were among the most coveted rewards in the wave, in addition to the return of items such as the Filigree Lion's Throat Shield. However, until the next content update, the Trading Post has some questions about its future appearance.

 

Hazzikostas said in an interview that there are no plans to offer vendor bids on the Blizzard Mall. hazzikostas said that the latest data mining assets that traders bid on were never intended to be made public, and that errors in development caused them to be unencrypted and pushed to the latest version of the World of Warcraft Public Test Domain (PTR). hazzikostas added that Many internal assets like those used in the trade bids were created far in advance, even though most of them never made it beyond the state of development. In this case, however, the relevant assets were omitted.

 

Hazzikostas said that he and the World of Warcraft development team heard "loud and clear" from players that they were concerned about Hazzikostas said he and the World of Warcraft development team had heard "loud and clear" from players who were unhappy with the presence of any in-game currency in the store. One example, Hazzikostas said, is that World of Warcraft players with Dragonflight received 500 merchant bids to have the expansion active on their accounts once the trading post went live in patch 10.0.5. The expansions on their accounts will be active once the trading station goes live in patch 10.0.5.

 

Suffice it to say, players looking forward to World of Warcraft's upcoming Timebreak update can rest assured that the Trading Post will remain intact for the foreseeable future. Only time will tell what the future holds for trading posts. See eanews.top for more details on the game guide.
