we only pay the 50-60$ for the expansion, the subscription is to keep the servers running otherwise we would have to go full F2P mode with a bunch more shop items.
- those lockboxes you send to your rogue alt to open? now needs a store bought key to open, but don’t worry they have a .01% chance at dropping a mount/transmog/toy/pet.
- reputation mounts/toys/pets? not a thing anymore, all on the cash shop
- want to transmog? buy the one time use item from the store
- want access to the new raid? purchase this attunement slot for it.
