Store transmog and why It's a problem

Seriously people: look at this new transmog. It’s hideous. OK, it’s cute on a gnome… maybe a Vulpera, but on everyone else, aside from looking stretched it’s terribly proportioned.

To me, this is proof that they can’t even be assed to do legit content for the cash shop anymore. And while I agree with OP in that probably the best looking stuff (in their view) is what winds up on there…

… this has me genuinely worried about the art direction for the first time because their best FREAKING SUCKS. lol

Still doesn’t matter.

The point is, selling some clothes on a cash shop doesn’t make the game bad and doesn’t make Blizzard evil.

This is an aggressively stupid angle and I feel stupid for responding to it.

I 100% never said it was at all.
I support it.

Not talking about you, but perhaps a certain dragon lady.

Oh sorry, said it was a response to me!

It was, but mostly piggybacking off your comment. Sorry if it was confusing.

Everything in the cash shop is available via in-game activity. Make gold HOWEVER you choose, buy token, trade for Blizz Bucks, buy store item :scream::money_mouth_face::exploding_head:. It’s that simple. It’s not gameplay breaking. It’s not a conspiracy to cheat the players. :hear_no_evil::speak_no_evil::see_no_evil:

Also, we are paladins. I am a male human paladin.

Believe me, I am most certainly in the right.

No no a tin foil hat :face_with_monocle: :crazy_face:

BOGO?

By one liver get a tin foil hat half price?

Every liver bought comes with a new and improved tin foil hat?

You mean the crappy covenant sets?
I think they look trash since the first time Blizzard showed them, I have absolutely no idea how they thought those looked nice.

Yeah, I was literally making fun of you…you literally just made up some numbers and made up companies…so I did the same thing… I’m going to stop replying to you because you’re just too…well, nevermind.\

Cool, some people made up a number based on no evidence and you believed them.

Yeah, eventually there’s going to be too much of this kind of dumb stuff in the game and more people will quit, the handful of people who say things like “I’d spend $500 to get flying every expansion at the start of the expansion and not have to do quests to get it!” are going to be left saying "Why won’t anyone play with me? :frowning: "

It literally does. Unless you’re saying you ONLY play the game to give Blizzard money, you’re lying. It’s content that’s going directly from the game, to the cash shop and instead of having fun earning it, you’re having to pay $20…

Imagine thinking grinding gold is in any sense of the word, fun…yikes

Show me objective evidence this cash shop harms you as a player. With evidence, not assumptions.

I’ll wait.

Hot take: This may actually improve the game, as it creates revenue for other game aspects.

See, I can make assumptions too!

Just another clueless poster who has no factual information to back up any of their bias.

We need to make a separate forum for tin foil hats like you.

100% of shop items are able to be earned through in game actions.

Every single one.

So unless OP advocates for every vendor to no longer be able to sell mounts, etc…this is an empty complaint.

Actually, if they would add the Mage Tower stuff to the store, I’d happily buy some… they are all WAY better than anything in the store, period.

And this one is ugly to me, I wouldn’t use it if you gave it free to me.

It is even cheaper than some of the vendor mounts! The frogs would be effectively like 50 bucks.
