Everyone can pay gold to achieve all the above-mentioned. Nothing is truly rare to really add or give value to.

Kinda sorta agree.

You can use real money to buy the symbol associated with almost any in-game activity. Thats been true a long time.

But what you cannot buy is the actual experience associated with that symbolic reward.

I know people who have rewards thay they bought - in part because I used to sell raid and PvP carrys… my entire guild did. For one expac that was the game to us - making gold.

I’ve talked to people who bought these things and while they might appreciate the aesthetics of this or that mount or title they bought, they still speak of how it was fun just to be on a run with us because were were so “polite and professional” and how we really seemed to be a team having fun as we did their runs for them.

The underlying message is they might have the achievement or reward but what they really wanted was to be a real part of the experience - as we (sellers) were.

Hearing them as they chat with me still, you can just sense the real yearning was to be part of the team for the experience.

You couldn’t buy that and never will be able to buy that.

No, you are 100% correct you can not buy the experience and joy that comes from doing all of those activities yourself.

My point is that Everyone can pay gold to achieve all the above-mentioned. Nothing is truly rare to really add or give value to.

I get what you mean but for the people who earned these items legitimately, it’s a disservice to just give these items away, especially if they put in the time and effort for them.

It would be, and I would not be one to advocate that Blizzard diminishes players accomplishments in game by handing out free stuff like the spectral tiger mount.

I suspect there are a lot of people who bought these things that deeply regret it. Because every time they look at these items in their inventory it is a reminder that they did not have the experience of earning them. And its not like you can just delete them from your achievement list or inventory. If you bought it and regret that - you are stuck with that reminder forever.

I’m not saying everyone feels regrets - some just want to tick the box of 500 mounts or whatever… get their achieve points over 30k.

We all play the game different ways and thats fine… in fact I think its important we do.

IMO “many ways to play” is why WoW defies the prediction that every new expac will be its last. I sure as heck never thought I’d still be playing this game after 19 years LOL

Well, written and agree.

I don’t understand the appeal of that mount.

It was removed. That’s the only thing that gives it value.

My guess is another one of the BMAH tabards.

So first things first, I’m the greatest.

[Sahira-thrall (Sahira)]

I truly hope that they do because the forums will be so, so beautiful that day.

[Rhielitychek-earthfury]

Tabard of Fury eh?

Ok I’m fine with this because that completes my tabard collection

Ion has already stated that the spectrals are highly unlikely be going on promotional giveaways.

Sad i want my non armored one.

The best thing is following: they always lie! So when sub goes down to much = big mount drop!
