So what? It couldn’t have cost the company an more than one person part of an hour to post that. And it’s unlikely that it was a real developer. So what do you think it cost us in terms of other things that they could have done for the game?
A broken patch and then a $90 cash shop mount is actually a very good celebration of modern blizzard
That’s not necessarily a bad thing though. People who play the game a lot can still get the mount and those who don’t have as much time also have access at the cost of real life $$
If it cost them nothing then why are we paying for it instead of just making it part of the event?

Locking every decent mount behind a cash shop is in fact a bad thing.

Not blizzard specifically but piracy is the main reason why we have micro transaction and season passes and battle passes in almost every game now
It’s not ‘locked,’ just go grind the gold ingame and its yours…

Someone has to buy a token to sell for credit. It is in fact locked behind the cash shop there is no way that this mount is earned in game without someone opening the cash shop.

Don’t you guys have phones?
The Toxic Positivity of WoW players has gone on too long. The worst part is I already see 100s of people just in Dornogal on the mount. Meaning Blizzard has probably already made more or as much money off this damn mount than all of Overwatch 1 sales. It’s no wonder they don’t care about the games anymore and prioritize skins or predatory micro-transaction games like Diablo Immoral. Gamers have ruined games, unironically.

Who cares if someone has to buy a token? Do you think every player with the OG brutosaur grinded 5 million gold and never bought wow tokens to help get the gold faster?

That’s called Star Citizen. Another predatory game that bilks money from idiots.

Doesn’t really matter to me if they did or not at the end of the day someone opening their wallet wasn’t mandatory to buy the mount. Someone directly buying something from the cash shop is to earn this.

The price of any product or service provided by any for profit corporation is based on one thing and one thing only, where it hits on the revenue curve.
So what’s a revenue curve? The revenue curve shows us that
- If you set the price too you are giving away your product or service for less than you could get with a higher price.
- However if you set the price too high, the loss of sales will outpace the increase in revenue.
So you set your price at the peak of that curve. And barring an attempt to corner a market, that is the way corporations set prices for just about everything.

Cool so why even play the game? Why not just make every single thing in game purchasable with money?

It’s mandatory for everyone to open their wallets to even play this game. WoW P2W confirmed
Y’all realize, you don’t own anything in the game right? You are literally paying 90 USD for the right use a mount while the game is live. When WoW is gone in a few years you won’t have anything you bought from the store.

Funny that cash shop defenders are always so disingenuous. The cost of buying the game and your monthly sub are supposed to pay for it and yet more and more content is only available for an extra fee.
