Dear Blizzard: Keep the Aesthetic Cash Shop Items Coming!

Every modern MMO (yes, even those with subscription fees + expansion fees like FFXIV and ESO) has aesthetic cash shop items. This is not P2W.

I want WoW to be around and compete with these other games, and continue to dominate the market. In that vein, I will continue to support these improvements. It is a good business strategy.

People need to stop complaining, and let Blizzard do what they can to thrive. They will need it.

Thank you! Nothing annoys me more than people equating cosmetic micro-transactions as P2W.

I’m cool with this also, gives the art team a chance to go Real wild with amour sets n stuff.

Of course there will Always be people who hate the idea but so what, why should a screeching few dictate what others can enjoy.

If the mogs makes you look like somoene from the justice league, sure, keep it coming.

I rather enjoy looking casual, like Kadghar, Velen and most NPC leaders on Azeroth.

Make some The boys outfits, j wanna be homelander

I agree. It would also be a good idea to make some of these attainable through questing or dungeon runs as well. I don’t really understand the animosity that people have for this. It has no affect on me or anyone as far as I can see. Why the fuss?

How about they actually put more transmogs back into the game, since we lost several of them to armor classes instead of actual classes.

I got no issue with Cash Shop transmogs, as long as they are decently priced and don’t look crappy. Give us some nice looking gear, Formal armours and silly stuff.

I’m fine with this. as long as you can buy them with blizzard balance you don’t even need to spend real money anyways.

Ppl so salty about it but really every other mmo has it already, and funny enough their communities are less toxic like FF.

Played abit of that for few months, was nice. Wasn’t trolled or anything, ppl even helped me level professions and stuff

As long as blizzard follows the same model of ESO and gives us in game currency when our sub rolls over every month

Yeah some of the WoW community is turning into a toxic mess. And crying about P2W Transmog…

Fact, I carry xmog beacons on my toons for this exact reason if I can’t use my Yak.

It’s a really fine balance that Blizzard has to walk. If you put too many paid cosmetics into the shop, the player base (especially the F2P types that grind gold to pay for their sub) will inevitably dwindle. A lower player base is not good for the WoW ecosystem.

A few cosmetics here and there is ok…but if they start doing this monthly, it’s going to be a massive problem.

You are right, it is not like there is difficult content lacking actual unique rewards or anything. Mythic+ achievements giving a copy of a mount you can get from 3 different sources? Mythic raids having ugly, plain sets? Skills that lack proper animation? Who cares? The cash shop makes this game so much better, right?

How is appearance p2w…

Cosmetics aren’t what makes WoW P2W. Buying gold, then buying carries, that’s what makes WoW P2W.

It’s only a matter of time until Blizzard sells WoW tokens in a bundle with a transmog, though.

Only issue I have is they’ll focus more on the paid transmog & not the ones that drop in game. The fairy dragon set is more detailed than any mog in game which is some thing that shouldn’t happen.

Why is a cosmetic item that the people who are complaining claim is ugly going to lead to P2W, but pets with actual stats that can be used for content and PvP aren’t?

Either they are feigning outrage.

Or, they actually want the cosmetic item and don’t want to pay for it.

If actual iLvl gear were to show up on the shop then I think we’d all agree.

Personally, I’d rather Blizz monetize cool cosmetic items like this than charging for “services” like gender changes/level boosts which Blizz just voluntarily nerfed their income on for our qaulity of life.

As I understand it, shadow lands sets are just as detailed ALTHOUGH I could be wrong, just what I heard haven’t actually checked.

Edit: I checked, they looked pretty detailed but I’m on tablet can’t tell if it’s fully 3d.
