10k a day is 300k a month which is usually enough for one token. And 10k a day can be 1 hour of farming if you know where to go.
I’ve been going a bit more hardcore than usual because I wanted 3 million before TWW (to pay fo professions) and I wanted to buy Mistress Xuilian’s stuff before they go on the BMAH.
Say who???
Spelling it from memory so maybe I’ve got her name wrong, but she’s an NPC in the BMAH room in Valdrakken that sells 2.1 million gold worth of stuff that Blizzard says will go on the BMAH after August.
Ahhhh ok i see, yeah heard of her.
Forgive me cuz I haven’t logged in yet, but isn’t this a recolour of the months reward set?
And the fine text at the bottom says it may appear in the trading post in the following months?
Damn that’s some dedication. I don’t have the willpower or interest to do anything to make gold, but I’m jealous of the results.
I just pester my wife for pocket money cuz gold is her thing.
She still brings up the money she spent on my green fire in mop when we met.
May or may not, discontinued by x of month is fomo. They shouldn’t have it on the shop, full stop. They should remove the game sub requirement and expansion cost if they want to have a shop.
Idk. They sold the medivh set on shop and said the exact same thing about may appear on trading post later. It did, and I bought it there instead.
I think it’s just generic legal text to cover their butt.
Regardless, wow is their only game right now that’s not so bad on the store/ingame split. I will give you that all their newer games are absolute dogdoo with micro transactions though. They’ve obviously analysed it to death and decided $40-60 cosmetics are viable for D4 for example. I guess they’d rather sell to whales than to the masses.
Wow, though, is as I said not so bad. I feel like it’s because of their 20 year legacy that it hasn’t got too bad Tbh. We’re used to the fancy mythic sets, the side content sets and vendors with extra stuff.
I’m pretty happy with the harlequin set, blood troll set, recent nelf warden set, excavators set (recolour of RAF set that some people paid a thousand dollars to get solo! And this set is now free and easy!) and now the pink version of this set.
I also don’t think Microsoft will intervene and make them worse. Blizzard games were probably the last thing in their minds when they were buying the makers of candycrush and call of duty.
Wrong. There’s like over $600 of mounts in the store, and over a grand worth of shop items that are currently up alone for WoW.
3 day early access next expac for $90 too
Transmog is actually one of WoWs worst areas, the armor sets being textured on and looking awful on most the races is bad.
All fomo, can’t get atm.
Considering what we’re seeing after their takeover already? Nah.
I can’t look right now, but from memory many of the mounts/pets are from previous expansion prepurchase goody bags, no?
They’re all certainly cheaper than in D4 and comparably a much smaller % of the overall collection.
It’s an old game. They’re certainly trying to beef up mogs with more 3d assets now though. Skin-tight painted chests are pretty bad though and anything not human or elf is pretty limited though I agree.
I’m sure they will be back. Yes, the trading post is designed as a sub retention tool. As far as I’m concerned though, if I miss something I just have to wait a few months or until next expansion and will get something similar.
Eg. Wrathion backpack in bfa. One of the earliest Cape replacement mogs they had. Lots of people went crazy for it thinking they had to get it before it disappeared, but I knew it just meant we were going to see a lot more Cape replacement mogs and we have.
I’m not very savvy on big company mergers/takeovers or lead times on implementation of stuff, but I’d feel pretty confident guessing that with how recent the Microsoft thing is that they haven’t actually altered much yet. Any crappy decisions are probably still from the previous team.
I challenge you to do this fox!
You will, of course, have to trade it to me at the end of the month as proof .
…
temptress.
Darn skippy! 
They just did that this week lol
That price is excessive for a recolour that should of been especially one that we can probably just get next year in the trading post like think this time I’m gonna have to say…
Save my money think I’ll live without till next year pink versions look better anyway.
Its the equivalent of 600k gold. So yeah, if you had the gold, you could always buy which is somewhat reasonable of a price for a mount and transmog.
Which again, is bad yep.
Hard to tell because D4 did an awful ‘platinum’ system so you don’t even know the price of items by a glance.
Then make expansions free, no sub fee until it’s all up to snuff. Clearly the extra money is wasted.
Still fomo, since no dates and I can’t just go get the stuff the month I’m playing.
indeed not very savvy considering how many layoffs and pushing everything over to third party instead.
Yeah, it’s dogdoo. However if there’s something I don’t like or disagree with I just don’t buy it.
There may come a day where wow crosses my line and on that day I’ll just poof.
Yeah a bit I guess. I’m just saying that since wow has so much stuff from being so old that new fomo stopped bothering me a long time ago. I only ride like 3 mounts, most of my mogs are heritage armour or trading post stuff.
I don’t care if some cool thing drops that I can’t get because I have so much other stuff to use. It’ll probably also get a recolour or they’ll start making more similar things within a year.
Also, if the game gets to the point that I don’t want to play it any more then no amount of cosmetics would make me come back just to avoid missing it.
If I did think that way then I’d have to remember every game I’ve played and how many cosmetics I’ve missed by not continuing to play them, just to stay consistent.
Yeah they did the lay-offs and put people in roles. I’m just saying I don’t believe they would have had time to push projects through and alter how they sell things yet.
I also don’t think Activision really decided too much previously. Everyone likes to pin the crappy corporate decisions on Activision or Microsoft; I just reckon blizzard is more capable of making those choices all by themselves. I don’t think we need to pretend they’re just a small group of gamers being strong armed into being greedy.
Doesn’t seem to be working out though, is it? More games are doing it, not less.
I do, I guarantee they told them to put existing assets and pump out some recolors and such to sell.
Lol.
Anything Marketing/shop related was 100% related to the bigger part of the corporation, especially given the info given in Shareholder meetings.
All I can do is make my choices. More small indie games are going big with less bloodsucking going on so that’s good I guess.
dunno.
You’re probably right and more knowledgeable there. I just don’t feel like we need to treat blizzard with kids gloves and pretend all the greedy or bad decisions are because of outside of influence. Any studio that gets big enough seems to get corrupted eventually I guess.
Like I said, though. I try to make my own choices with money and even the content I do (I don’t do stuff I don’t enjoy like reps/farming/pvp/raids though I used to).
If others do and that causes games to get worse then I’ll bounce.
I’ll leave this discussion at that, as I just remembered this is a blizzard blue marketing post and I wonder why I’m wasting my time in here when at the end of the day people will see a mog and probably buy it.
