We want to make players who used the WoW Shop earlier today aware of an unexpected issue with the new Corsage Pack in the Shop. We deployed a hotfix for this at 11:31 PDT today.
Players who purchased the Corsage Pack before that time did not have their total Trader’s Tender amount update in-game, and will not see an update to their Trader’s Tender amount until they do a purchase at the Trading Post. After any Trading Post purchase, the additional Trader’s Tender should be displayed.
I don’t blame Kaivax personally. I’ve had many delightful interactions with them over the years and I am sure they’re a perfectly good and lovely person. But this is a post from a blizzard representative. And I do blame blizzard.
I’m not wild about the business model.
I’m not surprised about the business model.
I’m not expecting to have a vote on the business model (although admittedly I do have some passions on the subject).
But I am … disappointed … about about the disrespect of claiming this joke of a fig leaf is “not selling tenders”.
So that whole “not selling tendies” is proven to be another spout of BS by Blizzard? You know full well people aren’t buying it for the mog, they are buying it for the tendies. At least be honorable enough to admit it.
It was not a slight at anyone who actually wants fancy wrist mogs. Just the other day I refuted a post from someone suggesting that wrist armor should be removed because it doesn’t matter, and a chorus of people pointed out that no, you can get some great looks by hiding gloves.
My point was that blizz know what they did. We know what they did.
Oh I know - I’m sure there are a few more people out there like me but others who bought them just for the tenders.
They are a corporation run by accountants who seek to maximize profit. They will do that any way they can and in any way they don’t think will hurt long term growth (mostly lol).
“We arent going to sell tenders on store” and yet another lie. This is how it begins. And you wonder why your company isn’t trusted, good job reinforcing that blizz will lie about anything.
