This abomination. This $800 thing is in the store. It doesn’t give you sub time to a game you obviously play. It doesn’t give a discount for “Bulk buying” sub time.
And yet we have people freaking kicking people from parties over wearing the fairy wings. At least those come bundled with something MANDATORY to play (the subscription).
If Asmongold doesn’t bash this with the same level of impunity as those stupid fairy wings I am done.
This is absolutely ridiculous. This is literally disgusting.
what gives you the impression that we arent going to bash that too though? there was a thread earlier talking about how the cheaply made the limited edition version of it was.
I got the xmog without purchasing the time. I work 70 hour weeks and if some neckbeard wants to mock me for my xmog choices in game then I hope he gives me a good laugh in the process. I don’t play the game for him. I play it for me.
The only people that are going to spend $800 on a statue right now are people that are so well off that even in this pandemic they have no cares for where their money goes.
Merchandising is harmless. It doesn’t affect the game in a negative way at all. In fact I wish all MMO’s and any pay2win style games with endless microtransactions would shift their profits in that area. Buy t-shirts, statues, mousepads, little toys, whatever that’s all great. Make as much junk as you want.
I draw the line when your selling me digital items that take content out of the game and lock it behind a paywall.
This statue didnt take away from development time like the dumb fae pajamas did… that is the difference. especially when BFA gear looked horrendous but they use the art gear dev team to make fae pajaimas that only hook silly egirls that buy the silliest things.
