From another poster earlier in this thread:
“It stinks because it’s obvious most effort is going towards store mounts and not in-game drop mounts.”
Yes, people do say these things. They say it almost every time there’s airing of the grievances about store mounts.
Maybe not everything I say is directly related to the things you say or believe.
Why pay to play the game and risk not earning a shot at anything than pay a discounted price to play the game, doing whatever you want to occupy your time, and get mounts for free?
I don’t believe that a mount being in-game necessarily makes it more valuable than another mount. The mounts I use have to fit my vision for my characters. There are a few I had to really work on, like my ROFLcopter from BC which took weeks and weeks of grinding, and those mean something. There are hundreds of in-game mounts in my collection that I never use and probably never will. Those mounts don’t mean anything.
No, I’m saying, “It’s FREE. I’m not buying tokens. I’m giving them zero extra dollars for this. You can, too, if you could swing paying for six months at once, which is probably less money than you were going to give them anyway. Instead of grousing about giving Blizzard more money through microtransactions, how about giving them less money total, while getting more free bang for your buck?”
That’s what I’m saying.
No, I’m acting like the mount now being inaccessible for years because players demanded it be taken off the store and put into the game is the bad thing here.
Yes, a bad luck protection system would be swell, but there’s isn’t one and Blizzard appears to be too stubborn to consider making one.
