The rules of gearing in World of Warcraft are simple—items drop and you get them if you’re lucky. But these same rules don’t apply to the rich, as they can easily talk any average WoW player into selling their rare items by offering an ungodly amount of gold.
This happened to Reddit user Due_Age5655 on Nov. 22. They were clearing Amirdrasil, the Dream’s Hope raid on Heroic difficulty and got lucky by seeing Pip’s Emerald Friendship Badge trinket drop from Council of Dreams. Although not a unique or rare drop, this trinket is incredibly strong and popular due to the sheer amount of stats you get after it procs. Soon after this item dropped, another WoW player made them an offer they apparently refused—1.5 million gold for one measly trinket. The lucky winner of the trinket feared they would regret selling it, especially since it is the best-in-slot for their class.
