New players just want to be 120.
People who were new players that have reached 120 want to get gear.
Pvpers want to rank higher.
M raiders want to progress more.
M+ers want to do higher keys.
Goldbros want to make gold more effectively or if you look on r/woweconomy new gold bros want to learn how to start making gold to afford stuff like this.
I have this mount, but you can throw my name in the list of people who thinks this is a very scummy thing to do.
Not going to write an essay on it because the myriad of reasons have been stated countless times in this thread already and the main voice supporting Blizzard is the usual contrarian who I’m sure most people just scroll over by now.
It is still an hour of work per day, can you imagine throwing almost a YEAR of that work just for a single achievement?
Unless you consistently make 100k gold per day it doesnt feel like it is worth it, 5 million is a lot of gold in BFA
See, I think the average player can easily learn in a year how to make gold. Hell, they don’t even have to learn. If they go farm up raw herbs or farm old instances for a few hours a day, they could do it. But they could learn actual good ways to do it in a year if they decide to stick with it. It’s not like it’s rocket science to make gold in WoW. It’s mostly about persistence.
Blizzard should just start a gofundme. There was once a time where people probably would have just given them money if they asked lol. Probably not so much now.
Except with all of those we knew even before the item went into the game that they were limited time items, and approximately how long we had to get them. That isn’t the case here.
