The idea is you HAVE to pay your sub AND pay for tokins for gold…
Big business greed.

Agreed, its bs.
If this was Legion or WoD when gold was just everywhere then maybe, but gold is really hard to come by this expac.
Now its going to be harder cause those of us who want the mount are NOT spending gold.

You could just make gold and pay for your sub and mount that way as well.
Paying for a sub with real money and then buying a $600 mount isn’t the only option.
You know they’re not actually paid by Blizzard right?
Question, how do you feel if blizz started making cool mounts, set the cost of acquiring them to 5 mil, limited it to the given expac for acquisition, and did this every expac moving forward?
I personally do not want that to become a trend for blizzard.

Lazy it may be. But it’s a lot closer to the truth than “shill”. And at the risk of pedantry, I didn’t actually call people upset about the mount being removed “immature entitled outragists”. I initially called a lot of WoW players that, but then I corrected it to a lot of GD posters. Which is more accurate.
So, you know, there’s that.
Hmm. So… you’re telling me that people who are upset about the mount being removed can post in a thread, but people who aren’t upset about it can’t provide the opposite opinion?
No, I think I’m going to disregard your advice and I think I’m going to continue posting my opinion that the mount being removed next year is nothing to be upset about, and that being legitimately upset over a video game is silly.
I appreciate your feedback, though.
Yeah its still a little much to have one of your MVP program posters saying the guy who made the decision to remove the mount needs to be moved over a fake dinosaur
My point is actions speak louder than words. You had no intention of pvp‘ing but you changed. If anything you prove my point as the person we’re discussing has every intention of saving, but if they follow suit like you, they’ll do the opposite.
Try again.
Yeah, a fake dinosaur that is being removed because reasons.
Taking a virtual item and turning it into a limited stock item is pretty underhanded and shady. It costs them literally nothing to leave it as is. They’re never going to run out of it, and it’s especially galling after their “last chance” package they had last year for multiple virtual items on the store.
They are being greedy with these changes, hoping to squeeze out more money from the players instead of, I dunno, focusing on making the game fun and bringing back more people.

Past histories show it’s usually 10+ months from the last raid tier until the next expansion. So they October you November. Or… about a year we stated.
Money sink mounts are ok as long as they stay in the game!
5 mil is a multi expac goal, not a single expac goal unless you plan to grind your heart out.
Hell even the guides state “spend X hours a day doing this whole multiboxing” to achieve mount in a short time period.

He didn’t call for them to be fired. That’s something, at least.
Your posts are antagonistic. Don’t play like you’ve been trying to add to the overall discussion. You’re mocking people who are upset about this decision. My post about you not engaging is because you add nothing to the overall discussion and are just looking to get a rise out of people. You have offered nothing from a different perspective outside of adding to the pile that anyone who doesn’t see this as an issue is only here to troll.

I doubt they’ll release an expac during xmas season. They’ll probably aim for August to get out of the shadow of BfA asap.

Exactly. Had it been known I would have made different decisions regarding my spending. I bought gifts for friends/family, converted gold to blizz balance, bought pets and mounts from the AH, etc. - I would guess over 1.5M gold … Had I known this from the start, I would have kept more of my gold.
I had to save and buy both the mammoth and yak in later expansions and had no reason to think I would not be able to do the same with this one. This was totally avoidable and capricious. I’m in complete agreement that we should have been told from the outset…
And to the trolls - it is possible to be irritated and disappointed by something without being outraged, and it is also within reason for paying customers to express that irritation. Some people may be more emotional than you and I, but that is no reason to intentionally goad them on.

Irrelevant. Because right now we’re in the present. That player in question isn’t going to suddenly drop their pants and drop 5 mil between their legs. That takes time. Just as it took time for me to get involved in the PvP scene. You have no point here.
