And do you not understand that psychological issues doesn’t equate to “artificial scarcity?”
So? That’s what the freeze section is for.
We’ve already seen quite a few things cycle back through. No, there’s no set schedule.

100%, the end result is still the same. We can parse words all day long, but the truth is, the tender is in the shop.

i agree with the op. it’s an absolute disgrace that Blizzard is doing exactly what they said they would do, instead of what i imagine they said. totally unforgivable.

But it’s one purchase per Bnet account. It’s finite.
Sorry for being dense, when you say cycle back through do you mean on a monthly basis? I don’t pay attention to the weapons so I’m assuming you mean items like that. I know mounts haven’t been recycled month per month.
And when they outright said that, what specific examples did Ion give regarding the nature of what those bundles might be? What specific types of bundles did he not address/completely ignore?
you might want to re read my post again because i have not said “NEED” like you are trying too imply.
Stop trying to gaslight.
ill post it here again so you can read it again.
IF you want some extra tenders for some item having an option to get only tenders is better than a bundle with tenders.
Or just delete them from the cash shop all together like they should be
I just mean that items we’ve seen before in previous months have been back on the Trading Post in recent months.

Examples are clearly just that: examples.
Had it not been popular, they wouldn’t have another with even more Tender. So clearly it’s working.
This exactly. “Semantic technicality.” The worst kind of legalistic lying. Children and lawyers think this way, and think it’s ok.

It isn’t. Because 500 one month is entirely different than 5000000 and counting continuously.
Expansions were probably used as the example because that is most likely the highest volume item on the shop. An example is just one possible iteration of a thing. It doesn’t cover all possible iterations of a thing. When he said it, I figured anything in the digital shop could be bundled with tenders.

The artificial scarcity I was referring to was Trader’s Tenders, but weird flex with your counterpoint there.
FOMO <> artificial scarcity. Clearly.
Please don’t tell me I need to explain the artificial scarcity at play with Tenders and how putting them in cash shop bundles plays off that.
You can freeze… one thing. Oh look, more scarcity that is artificial. I wonder if that might make people feel like they need to get more tenders through other means to overcome this limitation…

Sorry champ, I’ve known enough narcissists to be immune to this kind of gaslighting. When people aren’t clear on what exactly they intended with “bundles,” and then examples are given in order to clarify what they mean by “bundles,” and then the product comes out and it is something other than what was given in the examples, we have a clear case of lies by misdirection and omission. Everyone past the age of 6 understands this.

Sort of, and I already screwed up earlier by saying that they hadn’t been
But what’s more noteworthy is that not all transmog bundles have cost 25€ (respectively 20€) and this is a bundle regardless
I disagree entirely that its semantics because then you’d have to be able to buy each part individually for their “respective” price, which you can’t so you can only buy the bundle for the one price
Is there a precedence set previously in regards to transmog? Sure, so if the transmog stays on the store it’ll probably cost 20€ later, but the bundle will most likely be gone and the bundles in question that has contained transmog has varied in terms of how much they cost
Here’s the simple fact of the matter:
They said that Trader’s Tenders would be available in bundles, which it is, and you cannot buy each part seperately meaning that collectively its priced at this cost
No it doesn’t mean that one is “buying” any one part individually since you have to buy 'em together
So how many expansion bundles have we seen vs how many non-expansion bundles? Seems expansion bundles are an extremely small slice of that bundle pie. Why didn’t they give an example of a transmog bundle if transmog bundles were going to be such a major piece of that pie?
Don’t like the bundle, don’t buy it. That will show them more than you think. If no one buys it, they will end up stopping eventually.
Though, to be honest, I will probably buy it because the transmog is purple. I don’t really care about the tenders.
All I’m seeing is buzz words and condescension. So clearly a mature conversation cannot be had with you.
… what is wrong with you people today? LOL Good lord.
Y’all need to calm down.

- You can get tenders normally in-game, meaning that you do not need nor is forced to do anything to get 'em
- You pretending that a bundle being the same thing as an individual purchase is entirely on your head
Neither one of these two statements are gaslighting you, it is me stating what you have already stated - if you dislike that, don’t stand on this very bizarre hill you have decided to die on
