Quoting Star Wars does not make your post more reasonable.
Its cosmetics which they are basically giving us for free.
The way things work on this forum:
They change something. Some people complain.
They don’t change something. Some people complain.
They charge real money for something. Some people complain.
They dont charge real money for something. Some people complain.
There really is not a win/win scenario for Blizzard.
ESO did something similar where you got currency towards cosmetics for logging in daily. This sounds a bit similar to the Darkmoon Faire as a monthly cosmetic. I’ve not tested it out yet but can understand mixed feelings about FOMO. Certainly my other bnet will not get these much. Trading Post has my interest but will see like anything else.
As someone who is vehemently against FOMO, this is a great system. You get Ingame rewards for Ingame participation. The rewards and currency gains are predictable and can be considered a bonus for being subscribed and they used the word rotation meaning you will see the items again.
I really don’t see this new thing in a negative light like it’s being blown up to be. Oh. I get free currency to spend on what I want a month? Okay. Sweet.
Yeah it’s just weird. People have been asking for these rewards to be added in game to work for, but then turn around and scream fomo and compare it to predatory cash grabs. Like. Come on y’all. They’re giving us free points to spend on what we want.
That new flail is mighty tempting. And is that an ogre companion pet? I need to know.
I read the article. It says the items will rotate, and if you can’t get it when it first shows up, don’t worry, it will come back again. It also says there is a limited amount of currency you can get per month no matter what you do. So do what you want and don’t go out of your way to do more (unless it’s something you want to do anyway).
