Asmongold’s net worth in 2024 is 4.82 billion combined. So he has a few bucks.
Many are referring to the 15 years before the Wow Token was introduced:
Blizzard Entertainment introduced the WoW Token to World of Warcraft in 2015 during the Warlords of Draenor expansion: Along with the cash shop.
Before the Wow Token Was introduced and the Cash Shop opened. Whatever Was in the game was obtainable from inside the game world itself. Through game-play.
That is the point of this thread. Blizzard through it’s Tokens/Shop is charging real world cash for what always was obtainable for in-game play. This was equally available for all players who bought the game and paid for a subscription.
This is the system the players contracted for. Blizzard then changed things. Players see this as being unfair. Also the Brutosaur brings with it an in-game advantage hence players are worried that this is blizzards attempt to change the game to pay-to-win on a slow gradual basses.
You are the one that is always condescending to everyone you don’t agree with. Notice how you just called me son. That’s suppose to imply that you are superior? You come across as a hateful person. You will argue against anything without a good reason to as long as you don’t agree with the opinion. Then you insult. You are just a self righteous, obsessive nasty individual.
dont come into this crap late son…and then pretend you know the story here.
THEIR name calling and insults started all of this…no one expects johhny come later to keep up …
There. All the posts you mentioned where just saying that it was stupid to buy the mount for $90.00 They were not attacking you personally. Just expressing their opinions about the cost of the mount. But of curse you took it personal and wanted to fight with them.
Also cut the Son thing. Its idiotic.
PS: You will never put me or anyone else on Ignore. You are just too self absorbed and obsessive. Lol.
Blizz, after the the original mount was bought by players turned around and removed it with the excuse it was too big. Now to cheat players out of thier money put it up for sale again. But, the Mount is still too big. Eventually Bliz will remove it again. You cope with that!
whining about something they DONT need pretending that theyre being victimized by the mount being for sale at all…or that its gonna destroy the game, lol
such drama kings…
“its gonna ruin the game”
If its 90 bucks…but not if its 20
YOu just know every one of them complaining WOULD buy it for 20 bucks and suddenly ‘forget’ how they just said the mount was ‘destroying the game’ a couple minutes earlier lol
Most players did not buy the original brutosaur mount. And most players will not buy this brutosaur mount either. This thread is about telling Blizzard that we don’t want the company to continue to let some consultant to push through this monetization models that effectively cheat players out of their hard earned real world cash.
If people want the mount then it should be available to all players for the completion of a quest in-game. Not $90.00 real world cash.
It’s about the companies monetization policies. So you get over it.
Hate to burst your daydreaming, but a highly valuable utility and convenience mount like that is not going to be so easily obtained through a measly little quest. It follows a similar treatment with the yak transmog mount but as far as I’m aware, the store wasn’t as prominent back then as it is now.
Have you SEEN how many people have already bought it? You do realize its only a couple million gold right? I would be confident to say at least a 1/3 of current players will probably have it before it leaves the shop…
We are still waiting on the analytics to come in for the true numbers. But this isn’t about the mount itself. If people buy the mount or not. I am advocating for Blizzard to close the cash store and stop selling Wow Tokens. So that the players are not conned out of their hard earned cash. By unscrupulous monetization models. I believe that The Devs at blizzard also want Wow to remove this predatory business model. As you can see in this thread there are plenty of players who agree with me.
Again let me say. If people already bought this mount and are happy with it. I am glad that they are happy. But in the future. Blizz should relegate in-game virtual items to be attainable by doing in-game quests. Or in loot drops after killing bosses. Or in In-game npc merchants for a reasonable amount of in-game earned gold. I strongly believe the Wow Token and cash shop are detrimental to the game experience.
The results of these two things: Wow Token and the Cash Shop. Has resulted in players not leveling characters specially alts. Instead of leveling up the tradition way they just pay 60.00 in real world cash and bang- they are max level. They want to buy thing at the auction house. They don’t bother gold farming. They buy the Wow Tokens for real world cash and bang they can buy anything they want in-game. Without really not even playing the game itself as far as achieving progress.
I will exaggerate a little here: But if people want to turn Wow into a mobile idle game with little to no player input and the only way to achieve anything is to throw cash at it. With zero patience and a go go go mentality. Then Blizzard is setting the stage for that.
Just for those that are claiming that Blizzard can do no wrong. Remember this:
The Disaster of the Diablo Auction House - Blizzard’s Failure at an In-Game Marketplace. If you never heard of it just google it. See for yourselves.
