I wonder if it'll spike at monthly intervals?

there are no numbers on your graph, it is meaningless. :P

Looking at the wowtoken.info site, it spiked a bit over 30k and was (at the time I looked) at 22.5k over 2 days time? There would need to be at the very least a few weeks of info to do any real analysis. Remember, most wow players don't visit informational websites, read the blurb on the launcher, or have any concept what a token is.

Typical pro-pirate propaganda. The Horn of Africa and the Strait of Malacca have seen surges to numbers not seen since the Crimean war. The rise in the production of big-budget pirate movies is showing some insane numbers. A pirate cull is both ethical *and* economical and while their cold hearts might help with Yearly Anthropogenic Rising Rates with respect to climate change it is only a few percent. The lack of reflections made by protective tin-foil hats is a much bigger problem but we all know that the inter-cabal of Big Shampoo and Big Hair Salon pretty much guaranteed that we would never again be allow *that* freedom.

Statistically speaking, the sample data in this instance would probably need to be between four to six months, both to test the monthly-spike suggestion, the overall trend of supply/demand, and even to track the current state if Blizzard decides to make any changes to the token system. And if they do, they can say what they want, but it's the numbers that should be watched. With gold sellers in the mix though, the direction seems pretty clear.

Here's an article from Ars Technica, which references the graph Greebo posted as well.

Statistically speaking, n<30 is questionable but *that* doesn't make for a good headline now does it?
