Selling Traders Tender?

@Sorelai-wyrmrest-accord

Don’t like the bundle, don’t buy it.

Zero relevance to the discussion.

They’re basically just using a semantic technicality to say they’re not selling it directly.

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

I think you are being incredibly generous and naive in your read of the situation, but you do you.

Just keep in mind that companies that function within the framework of capitalism absolutely will do whatever they feel they can get away with to make money. Generous interpretations of situations like this are what they hope for.

Expansions were probably used as the example because that is most likely the highest volume item on the shop.

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?

You’re being extremely pedantic and hiding behind a hidden avatar so I hope you have a nice life wherever that is.

Y’all need to calm down.

There we go, you keep putting up these red flags.

[Brìghtwarden-zuljin]

@Sendryn-sentinels

All I’m seeing is buzz words and condescension. So clearly a mature conversation cannot be had with you.

I see your attempt at taking the self righteous approach and raise you with “where did I use buzz words, happy to expand upon whatever I said”

Also, I thought we both agreed that selling tenders is bad, so I don’t even understand wtf is going on here.

[Shadybolt-thrall]

@Brìghtwarden-zuljin

FOMO <> artificial scarcity. Clearly.

Of course someone would bring this up again whilst having no bloody clue what that even means … why do ya’ll love buzzwords you have no idea what they mean and decide to use them like this?

Hint: look up what FOMO actually means because (not really) hilariously the way you are using it is both…

• Actual FOMO
• Perpetuating misinformation behind the phrase FOMO which in turn promotes and protects unintentional ableistic behaviour

Seriously, stop using this damn phrase when you have no clue as to what it means or how the phrase is relevant in life

This is the avatar I post on. Would you treat me differently if it were a level 70 character? What would you do with that information? Your real name isn’t Sorelai, and you’re not really a night elf druid. We know exactly the same amount about each other in real life. This also has nothing to do with the discussion, by the way.

The shop needs to offset loss in subscription revenue. Eventually EVERYTHING will be on the shop.

I’m not the one getting offended at literally everything everyone posts and crying victim. LOL

Try to have a better day. It’s just a video game.

[Illidex-zuljin]

@Shadybolt-thrall

Neither one of these two statements are gaslighting you,

the gas lighting is that you tried to say ive been saying you need to buy them.

@Shadybolt-thrall

No, you clearly don’t get how the system works since you keep using the phrasing of “Need”;

I have not said you need too. Ive simply been saying that if they are puting tenders on the shop at all, it should be a standalone purchase so that IF you want tenders you dont have to do some work around of buying a bundle.

I didn’t cry victim about anything. You take your pills today?

Another pair of deflection tactics at play -

1. Claim someone is offended when no clear evidence has been displayed to support the conclusion.
2. Attempt to undercut the legitimacy of the argument by claiming it’s taking things too seriously.

you literally accused me of “snapping at you” when all i did was post a quote from ion lmfao.
you are 100% getting offended

@Brìghtwarden-zuljin

I thought we both agreed that selling tenders is bad, so I don’t even understand wtf is going on here.

Just because I agree Tender shouldn’t be sold doesn’t mean I agree with the weird scarcity theory. You got upset, I bowed out. That’s really all there is to it.

[Aswansea-malygos]

No idea what’s going on in here, but I think it’s safe to conclude that most of us here believe that what they’re doing is not good at all. Arguing over the other stuff doesn’t matter, I think.

@Illidex-zuljin

you literally accused me of “snapping at you”

I made a comment on the difference between selling Tender by itself and selling it infinitely. You came back with “And?” then got all argumentative over an Ion quote that didn’t much have to do with what I posted.

What exactly do I have to be offended over? I’m not the one coming at people after a very calm reply.

Y’all are very tense today. LOL

Did we all miss out on our coffee?

If that’s the case, how about this for us all?

[Edamann-bonechewer]

Hello, I see you posted a thread about horrible business practices. Haha, 500 tenders for $5! Literally every single other transmog costs $20 but for some odd reason, the new one with tenders costs $25! I guess they need to make up revenue somewhere considering hardly anyone is playing the expansion anymore, haha!

Thanks for your post and have a great day!

@Zumakind-faerlina

They are going to they’re testing us first with bundles

There is no “test.” There’s zero need to test. This community is as predictable now as it has ever been.

[Illidex-zuljin]

brother this is a forum, replying too people is not “coming at them” its called having a discussion.

if you say something and some one replies “and” its just short form for “and whats your point”. Was simply asking you too elaborate why that was an issue.

You seem to be offended because your accusing me of coming at you, and telling other people to “calm down” when nobody in the forum has been freaking out.
Its very odd
also interesting that you can post images on the forums, had no idea you could. curious how they parse NSFW stuff out cuz there a ton of trolls out there

[Edamann-bonechewer]

Hello, I see you replied to the thread. Haha, I wouldn’t worry about that person! Their entire post history, across multiple characters, is filled to the brim with accusing people of getting aggressive when things don’t go their way! The most benign comments are accused of being aggressive and accusations of the person “getting upset” when in reality, the only way these comments could be taken that way is if this person was reading them in that manner, haha!

Thanks for your post and have a great day!
