I don’t understand Blizzard strategy on time-gating flying like that , why do they want all the playerbase to hate them ?
Why they don’t time-gate it with Golds ?
If you make flying available for golds , you have 3 types of players :
Player 1 - Old player : Like the system , back in the day you had to farms golds to earn flying .
Player 2 - Calling andy : 50/50 but it’s quite easy to farms golds , you just have to farm callings and you generate lot of golds by playing the game .
Player 3 - New player/have no idea about gold making/Lazy player : Hate the system but Player 1 and Player 2 will tell him he is wrong , this type of player is supposed to buy tokens so Blizzard is happy
that’s why i think 150K is a good price , lot of players have millions of golds , but i know lot of people who legit don’t care about golds/don’t know how to make golds , and buy wow tokens for consommables in M+, Raids etc
Just because something is quick or easy to do doesn’t really matter when you hate doing it.
They weren’t RNG at the end. They could easily have made a vendor with a currency you gain from doing stuff you normally do anyway. Remember how it was at the end of legion?
i remember in wrath if you were too cheap to afford flyhing, they gave you a really slow tawny wind rider so you could still do storm peaks and icecrown. this was becuase the zones were designed for flying. imagine that, devs who intended you to fly from day 1.
