MMO fans lament reintroduction of World of Warcraft's most hated item as raid ring goes for $13,000 in gold

A goblin lies atop of some gold in World of Warcraft

A WoW Classic player has paid the equivalent of around $13,000 to win a ring bidding war against a raid buddy, leading plenty to lament the impact of real-money trading and wonder what the recent reintroduction of WoW Tokens are doing to the in-game economy on Wrath of the Lich King Classic servers.

As you’ll see from the clip below, two World of Warcraft players duke it out in text chat to earn a piece of raid loot that’s dropped from the Trial of the Grand Crusader. After a fair bit of back and forth, one goes as high as bidding three million gold before the other finally passes. The ring itself is solid, though not something anyone would shell out around $13,000 for if you’re looking at how much gold that WoW Tokens converts to at the time of writing.
