it’s the principle, not the actual item that matters. those are some really ### wings though.

Over nothing, you must not have worked, experienced or been in the industry. You’re coming off as a blind consumer that will spend any amount of money with content that should be free for the consumer.
Your posts in general show no understanding of a common issue plaguing mmo’s on the market.
Thank you Mony for being the select few that understands the issue.
ITT: People complaining about cash shop when Blizzard has the least intensive cash shop…let alone you can buy these things for gold thanks to WoW token redemption.
If you cant understand that this is the culling before the storm.
Besides the helmets they used to sell, now they’ve introduced a new set. Who’s to say there wont be another and another and another. Next thing you know all these sets you have to pay for could have been free event sets, something more valuable to the player. They make beyond enough to support their devs building costs xyz alone with the 15$ sub.
In a pay to play model this isnt acceptable, there’s a reason why there weren’t gear sets for sale before.
Looks at FF14
Looks at ESO
Looks at MHW
Youre fine. Blizzard has the least intensive cash shop atm.
The helmets sucked.
Have you been in other MMO shops at all?

Yes, I’m happy you acknowledged the games with the pressing issues. Ironically I’ve played them all for months at a time. So I’m fully aware of the issue at hand. ESO isnt pay to play, even thought they heavily influence you to buy their sub.
The fact that you aren’t worried about blizzard adopting these methodologies is disturbing to say the least.
Its because its a business trend. I dont have an issue with a company putting up optional and cosmetic items on a cash shop (its another revenue source).
I will have an issue when you can buy gear, races, in-game power, etc for cash.

Why would they need another source of revenue when the monthly sub way over passes the costs of development?
It’s the morals of the company to provide the player experiences / free items they can earn for their time spent in the game. Which I for one can say has been lack luster all of BFA. They completely took meaningful progression out of the window.
Because giving money to something you enjoy to play isnt a bad thing, and opens the opportunity for Blizzard to put more development into making such things.
Its called incentive, its why the helms didnt work (not a lot of people bought them).
You still can, you can buy all the stuff of the game store with gold. Its entirely possible.
I.E - I just spent 500+ hours grinding mythic + dungeons for me to be over 70 runs dry on a piece of gear, maybe that could have been a cool achievement and we get a gear set or a quest to earn a gear set. All of this stims from how dedicated the player base is. You simply don’t see this much anymore.
The +15 meta achievement doesnt count? The Mad World meta achievement doesnt count?
That’s one achievement connected to the thousands of hours you find yourself in a primary source of content.
Loyalty reward with optional buyout price for those not doing 6/mo discounted sub model.
Dunno how thats different than what you said.
I’m saying there needs to be MORE.
People are spending hundreds of hours playing your game, more mounts,tmogs,items,titles, rewarding participation.
If you buy game time, you get it free, provided you buy it in a 6 month block.
If you don’t want to buy game time to get it, just wait a bit.
set will remain available as a standalone purchase after offer expires.
If you were going to buy game time, and for sure you wanted to play at least 6 months, you could get it for a reduced price compared to a monthly subscription.

If that’s what you want
Its available right now to buy separately.

The cosmetic itself is only $20 if you want to buy it alone, however it is FREE for anyone on a 6-month sub.
There are so many new people that arent understanding the issue. Stop informing us on irrelevant information on where and how to buy the cosmetic separately. If you decided to do a little digging, you would notice this whole thread is the PREMACE of selling cosmetics on a pay to play platform.
