  I tried the unsubbed access, pretty much nothing to do, can't even buy 
off AH and can't use mailbox. Can't access bankers, most are over 20 
since I run them up with rested xp and heirlooms for fun.

  Okay ,so 15-40k gold for 30 days =  $15  by the gold sites
this would well work for me, buy a years sub. It isn't like the gold is 
earning interest in a pension plan when not playing.

  It depends of they want to get rid of gold sellers, which they don't 
based on complete lack of reaction, leave for a year and they are still 
botting the same old places.
  So, give the sellers some leeway and price it at 80k, plus a bit of a 
gold rush maybe 100k at the newly inflated price .
Could still work, a couple of days AH for 30 days.

  I may give it a go when it drops at that since game time = 50% playing 
ah for me , game time pays for game time. If nothing else I could buy 6 
months and burn up some gold doing nothing.

  I keep going to resub, but then start shuddering at the thought of 
grinding and having to relearn, watch youtube cats instead. I haven't 
played wow since early december and until I got a cold last week hadn't 
even played so much as a game of solitaire since new year.

I really think the sub limits could be not so much the $ price or the 
graphics but a large part the data load for the game. A lot of people 
who may play just don't have the installation and update quota.
A lot do, but a hell of a lot don't.
Log on to check the unsubbed access, 2.8G download, and thats after a 
couple of months off.  A lot who may play just don't have the quota to 
look at an installation this month, or next month, or the next.
   They can stream but if they google it just says 35G.

   Someone with a 15GB broadband isn't even going to look

I know ..Australian Fraudband, Telstra is definitely in the 'charges 
like a wounded bull' class but thats where the potential new subs live.
   In this city house I have optic unlimited data, $150pm, people visit 
from the country, use my wifi, download everything they can. Obviously I 
and they don't use satellite to do wow updates just to see what the new 
unsubbed access looks like.
