Is selling gold for MMORPG's dying? Is it still profitable to sell gold? How about powerleveling?
Has the competition made this an unprofitable business now? I remember the days when it was like $5 for 1 gold, or $1 per gold. It seems now that they basically are giving gold away.
Just today I saw an advertisement for 10,000 gold on Warcraft for $5. You can say you would never buy gold, but why would you waste hours farming the auction house, doing dailies, farming mobs, or whatever? Five bucks is nothing.
I don't play Warcraft any longer, but if I did why wouldn't I just pay $5 for 10,000 gold?
It is so cheap now, and the competition so fierce I don't even see how these Chinese companies are making any money these days. Even if they pay someone a quarter a day I don't see how they are making any money to make it worth it.
Do you think most gold, and powerleveling companies may go out of business soon? I just don't see how many can stay in business with such low profit margins. What do you think?
