World of Warcraft's latest patch brought with it many returning activities and mechanics—and yet another type of currency to throw on top of the mountain of currencies it already contains.
Virtually every game has some kind of gold or coins or points that you can exchange for goods or services. But none has quite so many as WoW, amassed over 20 years of updates.
