Players are divided on the issue, and it all comes down to each player's interpretation WoTLK Gold. Certain players believe that although players are able to purchase better equipment with gold or use it to have players carry them through some of games' most difficult challenges, it's not going to make those buying tokens more or less competent players. However, some argue that being able to spend cash for any advantage other than cosmetics is specifically pay-to-win even if it is obfuscated due to the additional step of having to use that gold to buy other players bonuses instead of Blizzard directly.

Pay-to-win and the ever-growing number of microtransactions available in games, was the primary reason that popular ex-WoW creator MadSeasonShow recently announced that she would be quitting the game. The image at the top of the discussion about pay-to-win on Reddit is actually taken from MadSeason's exit video and a lot of remarks in the thread echo MadSeason's own argument. The topic is one that which the creator of the content has considered for a long time, and in an hour-long video titled "The ballad about the level boost," which discussed Blizzard providing a pay-per-level bonus that can be used in Burning Crusade Classic, as in addition to other microtransactions such as the WoW Token.

It's true, having huge amounts of gold in the game can, in a substantial way, benefit players of Blizzard's MMO WOW WoTLK Classic Gold. However, since players aren't buying power from Blizzard however, they are essentially purchasing power from other players with the gold they earn from the token that they own, the question of whether or not WoW is pay-to-win is still subject to debate and is likely to remain for some time.
