  "account": "In World of Warcraft Forever, Blizzard has eliminated the experience-to-gold conversion for quests completed at high levels, a change that has left many players feeling the loss of gold. This feature, which has been part of WoW for nearly 20 years, allowed players to earn gold by completing quests as they reached level 60. However, upon launching WoW Forever, the conversion was absent, prompting players to express their discontent. In response, Blizzard community manager Kaivax announced a hotfix that will increase gold rewards for quests at level 48 or higher, along with adding gold to quests above level 48 that previously didn't reward gold at all. This change aims to ensure that players feel rewarded for completing quests at the appropriate level to progress their characters. While some players are skeptical about the change, many have expressed their approval, praising the consistent gold rewards regardless of quest completion levels. This adjustment highlights Blizzard's philosophy of adapting WoW Forever while staying true to its spirit, promising more changes as players continue to reach max level.",
  "summary": "For the longest time in World of Warcraft, when you finished a quest at max level, the experience you would earn would get converted to gold. But in WoW Forever, Blizzard killed off that conversion, and has now added a fix.",
