$1M reached, where's our sloth pet

Exactly. Which is why half of my reason is to get rid of the silly virus. I will gladly be honest that sloth pet is the other half.

Let’s reel this back a bit and squash this. I’m fully aware that blizzard is getting no money from that, but at no point i’ve ever said or implied that Blizzard is getting money from this. To insinuate that notion that i’ve espoused is kind of insulting. If i’ve ever said or implied that then i apologize. But that isn’t the point i’m making considering i’m taking an issue with somebody saying free. Why does this needed to be equated to “You think Blizzard is taking money”?

So there’s no pets then, is what you’re saying.

Who cares? You’re picking a fight for nothing lmao, go chill out.

Well you’ve commented so… ehh.

But i’ve already told Clark that i (want to) digress from that point because i know it’s a point that didn’t needed to be bought up again considering people has a problem with me taking an issue with the word “free”. :point_down:

Though for some reason, he decided to not to do the same, so i guess he wanted me to explain myself. :man_shrugging:

you are either trolling at this point, or… well i dont think im allowed to say that on the forums anymore. its been explained to you, you not getting the difference between a thank you for donating and a purchase, doesnt make you right.

i HOPE you are just trolling,

I’m being serious. This is something i’ve actually do believe in. Just because you disagree with my opinion, doesn’t make me silly or trolling. I’m trying to have a conversation with you guys on why i don’t think something is free despite being called “free”.

I disagree with your opinions that it is free, but you don’t see me saying “You’re either being silly or just trolling”.

And it’s been explained to you why it’s not free.

I must honestly question your knowing the difference between a thank you for donating and a purchase if you must equate me saying “this is not free” to “not knowing a difference between donating and pruchasing” and you think i’m in the right for because of what you think i’ve thought or said or implied. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Let me make it perfectly clear to disallow any misinterpretation here. I do understand the difference between donations and purchasing. The former is you give money and expect nothing in return, and the latter is you need to spend money to buy something. That was never in question because it’s not hugely relevant to my point.

This is about the usage of “free”. Which i think it’s misused a lot because if you have to pay money or need to have it be paid off by somebody else, then i’l say it again, just like i’ve said with WoW Tokens or “free” sub mounts, it’s not free.

said you will get it on the 24th

All this semantic pedantry isn’t going to make that sloth crawl any faster, people.

Calm down. It was reached in the middle of the night and it’s 9am in California. Let them get to their offices.

They still gotta implement it obviously

Looks like several more people in this thread have realized why I’ve had a certain person on ignore since they added a forum ignore feature. It’s easier to join my club than it is to try and have a discussion with that one. Plus, we have snacks.

and thats the problem, you are debating your opinion, over facts. the facts are money went to donations, to a charity that uses that money for doctors. Blizzard is a game company, who took no money and is giving out free pets as a thank you for reaching a goal. these are not opinions.

you are right on the tokens, it isnt free, because transactions happened to facilitate it, person A spent money, person B gives gold to person A for the game time.

you are absolutely wrong on the mounts tho. a 6 month recurring sub does not go up at all when a mount is thrown in. I was already spending that money towards a subscription, no extra money is involved, i was just given a mount, for free… it doesnt matter your opinion, if no extra money is involved, but you get extra, its free. i refer you to the grocery store analogy…

so yes, arguing your opinion is “silly”… or trolling… and im not feeding anymore.

I really really hope that Daisy can ride on a druid in cat and bear form. She and my bear druid would be unstoppable together.

So giving money, getting something in return is “free” is facts now?.. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

You asked me constantly if i know the difference between buying and donating, and yet… ?

The fact you kept on implying to think i’ve ever think that, atfer i’ve told you is disingenuous of you and makes me put your “facts” into question.

So not free. You’ve already contradicted yourself.

Since you like facts, here’s one for you. You needed a 6 month sub or $25 to get the lucky yun mount. Explain to me how it’s free if you’re already paying money to get it for free.

The only way if it’s actually truely free if it actually came as a gift without any strings attached, like the Wandering Ancient for example. That is only thing i can safely say it’s free.

Then it’s a part of the purchase. Still not free. Just because you call it “free”, doesn’t make it so.

“Buy 1, get 1 free” is just essentially those “2 for $X” deals. Their still part of the purchase regardless how much you want to say “it’s free”.

Think about it this way. If you get something that you are planing to buy, then that’s 100% of the cost there for that item. If there’s a deal that said “buy 1, get 1 free”, and you get the item, that cost is split up between those two items. So it’s not necessarily free, it’s just the cost being split between those two items, but the value of those things are doubled because of the split up cost. But in order to get the double value and split cost, you need to be planing to get that first item.

Now tell me where is the free in that, because the only reason why anybody would call it “free” is because of the cost split and the value increase. That isn’t to say it’s not a great deal, it’s a great deal.

Well i guess you don’t actually have a problem with me saying it’s free since you seemed more concerned with labeling me as a troll because you disagree with my opinion and must bring in “facts” (despite never backing them up i’ve noticed)…

Have a good day. :kissing:

Well of course, it’s why we call it fast food.

I’ve already explained in my thread of comments to other people here on why it’s not free. You can keep on saying “It’s free” all you want, but it’s only going to contribute the further misuse of that word. (Even it’s already horribly misused here like every other word here anyways)

You are welcome, i help to make the world a better place however i can whether it be though my arguments and educating people on stuff, or just directly donating to the docs. :blush:
