Store transmog and why It's a problem

[Kaeleesi-moon-guard]

@Mkali-thrall

This, and not only that, but you get gold passively for literally every activity in the game. You can make your own fun. It might take longer to get the transmog, but it’s not going anywhere.

If farming gold was fun for everyone basic items would cost 500k and most items would be hitting gold cap.

YOU and Akston enjoy spending all your free time in WoW farming gold. Many do not and pretending people should enjoy it is just insanely silly.

@Jiyo-draka

It’s not like you have to buy it.
JFC

So you’d be fine with covenant sets being sold at $20 each because you don’t have to buy them?

@Jiyo-draka

To some of us $20 is like a drop in the bucket.

Congratulations, you’re fine with Blizzard charging for a sub fee, an almost yearly expansion fee and putting in-game items in the shop as well. Many are not. No need to say “JFC” because you can’t comprehend other people have differing opinions.

@Dalfurane-frostmourne

If gold is the argument, why don’t they add it in game for gold?

Because then they couldn’t milk more money out of their fan base easily, but I’m excited to see what silly these fan boys have to say…

@Akston-area-52

If the item was on a vendor for 300k, what would that have changed?

That’s literally what he just asked you, why didn’t they put it on a vendor for 300k?

@Dalfurane-frostmourne

Because allowing a game to profit from:

• Expansion price
• Sub price

AND

• Cash shop

lays the foundation to them milking you for money outside the game.

This doesn’t belong in a pay to play game. Any cosmetic like this should be added in game.

Aktson is a basic forum trolls who literally just argues because he has nothing better to do. He won’t use logic or reasoning because he doesn’t want to stop arguing and come to a conclusion. I’d just ignore him.

@Jiyo-draka

Honestly.
Was there much of an uproar when they put up Hood of hungering Darkness up in the shop?

Yes

@Akston-area-52

So your answer is that it should be in game, even though it changes nothing about it. I guess if thats the route you want to go. Sounds like a weak point if it has zero difference.

Why shouldn’t it be?

@Ahnohla-thrall

We have no choice in this matter. You can either buy, or not buy.

Hence why threads like this exist. I know you’ve probably never voiced your opinion on anything or posted anything serious other than basic trolling, but It’s a thing.

@Newmaker-moon-guard

when it really isn’t even an issue.

It’s not an issue for you. Some people prefer the game to not triple dip on their fan base, though.

@Ahnohla-thrall

I don’t mean to be rude

Weird, you literally harassed me, spammed and attempted to derail my thread yesterday but now all of a sudden you’re not meaning to be rude? Hilarious.

@Ahnohla-thrall

You’re around the forums a good bit, I am sure you know this is only the current outrage.

Just because It’s not constantly talked about doesn’t mean It’s not always been an outrage. If you’d like I can keep making threads about it, though. Then it will be non-stop outrage.

@Akston-area-52

Then buy it or don’t.

Or we could tell Blizzard we don’t like that they’re doing it and hope they’ll listen.

@Akston-area-52

Your defense is a hypothetical “what if” that has no basis in reality.

So you don’t want to answer the question. Of course you don’t.

@Dalfurane-frostmourne

Gee golly.

If you have the mentality “They didn’t change before they won’t” then go ahead and be happy.

Leave us to voice our own opinions.

Was that hard?

For these forum trolls? They can’t stand it when someone voices their opinion. Just look through this thread. Five of six of them spam reporting everything, harassing, trolling, derailing and they have the audacity to get mad at me when I basically tell them to get lost and say “OMFG, SHE’S HARASSING US! T_T”

They have nothing else going for them in life than to harass people online…in a WoW forum. It’s pretty sad.

@Ussliberty-blackrock

Three months from now when people try to give feedback on Shadowlands Live:

“If you don’t like it, unsub. Vote with your wallet!”

“I can’t! I bought six months so I could get the fairy armor!”

Exactly. They did this for BFA with the ship. Many players were locked into 6 month subs “BECaUSe iT waS fRee” and BFA ended up being a complete disaster.

But who am I kidding, those people would have stayed subbed and defended Blizzard even if they didn’t play the game at all.

@Ahnohla-thrall

Anybody that paid for a sub they didn’t want just for a silly transmog deserves what they get.

How were they supposed to know if they wanted to stay subbed or not? It was done right before the expansion after an AMAZING expansion? Many people feel like they got ripped off.

@Ahnohla-thrall

I’d go out on a limb and say these people are few to none.

I was one of those people. I thought “I love WoW, Legion was an amazing expansion! I’ll sub for 6 months since I’ll probably play anyway and get a cool mount”

BFA came out and it was completely terrible for me and many others. I’ve seen numerous times people consider it the worst expansion in the game’s history. The majority of the expansion I didn’t even play.

@Dalfurane-frostmourne

It’s a vicious circle which you are unaware of or either pretend doesn’t exist.

Good luck. We agree to disagree.

Yup, he’s a troll.
