Just because a player payed 500k for a heroic queen kill, does not mean they are at the same level of skill and comprehension.
That player required the communication and skill of other players, to get into that content. The player themselves most likely (and a lot of cases) do no possess the same mentality and comprehension to do that content normally.
Well to be fair, everything Blizzard does is around making money (either subs, tokens, game shop, etc).
They are for sure not in the business of doing anything free, so one should always assume that most things in the game are geared towards revenue for Blizzard.
No, it “cost” less numerically, but it actually hit harder because 100g was worth a lot more back then than it does now.
1500g is pocket change now. It was a struggle back then to even earn the gold you needed to finish buying your class’s spells.
Either upgrade battle shout or repair your weapon…Good times hahaha
You’d be lucky if a token even sold for 500g back in the vanilla days. There was a lot less gold going around back then. It’s all relative.
There were wow tokens in Vanilla? I was not aware of this.
Does that npc that buffed you back in wod(garrison) still work? It was probably only an hour anyway. You lost it on death apparently.
How is everyone not a multi-millionaire by now?
again none of this has anything to do with anything I’ve said or implied.
Y’all on Friday vacation mode? It’s not even lunch time yet.
It’s a hypothetical presented to someone who’s suggesting that the cost of repairs are linked to token sales somehow, despite the repair system predating tokens by about a decade and its cost calculation never being changed. 
i was referring to what you said earlier
So you’re just defending pay2win.
Got it.
nvidia is very confused about that.
You didn’t win anything. You never beat me getting AOTC, or a queen kill or myth track gear. because anyone can obtain this. No one needs to pay money for AOTC because we can all que the same raid finder and get heroic kills pugging. So just because someone else paid money for it, doesnt mean “they won”.
Gear is a revolving door, it will get replaced, you never “beat me” because you paid money. That’s what pay2win means. You paid real money to get an advantage over me in some way, instead of your own personal means.
Ah ok – sorry I was not quite paying attention I guess…
Whew I need more coffee and to stop “multitasking”
again, no idea what you’re going on about.
please advise.
you know what i am referring to.
I had a feeling this was the case but cool to know it’s true.
Just a transmogrification costs over 500g. Had many, many days of play costing well over 1000g. Cross-faction play has gotten out of hand in PvP. Many of the epic items are not even working as upgrades…including item enhancements for gear, such as setting sockets in PvP gear. I used to talk to game masters in game frequently. I even attended Blizzcon in Atlanta years ago. I believe you may be losing some of your player base. The first day of Brawl Packed House Arena was epic, We won 10 of 12, then…new 80s running all around trying to learn how to play their characters in 15 man Arena. Tarren Mill Brawl was excellent as well. So many players are , including the names they give themselves. Please, I am not referring to all players! So much talent out there. My players stocked and supplied 2 guilds, Pvp and Pvp…covered all profs. Now I start from zero again. I’d like to compliment those who are still trying to make sense of these “improvements” !
Please excuse errors in typing. Have a blessed day
