Except you have absolutely zero evidence this is true.
It’s no different than if I claimed the vast majority of wow tokens were used to buy game time. We have no evidence of what the wow token is being used for.
using gold to purchase a carry is far from P2W regardless of where the gold comes from.
The raid boss isnt being killed anymore, its loot is just being diverted to one character. They didnt get anything by simply paying money, the raid team still needed to put the effort into killing the mythic/heroic bosses and the character still needed to go through the instance.
We know because we’re not pretenders here. We play the game. We see the price of a wow token today, and how it inflates, and we know what the expensive stuff is. You are only offering feedback noise on the topic, at best devil’s advocate. Two very rich pieces of irony there.
Yes, you can make a lot of MTX money off people who pay to finally fit in somewhere, and this industry will gladly take that money. In the case of wow, that profit does not translate into a great game, which is why, idk… there has been a mass exodus?
I’m simply telling you that it’s not “Buy gold, gain power”.
It’s “Buy gold, give gold to another player and ask them to play for you.” You may or may not gain power from that. There’s no guarantee that you will be more powerful after all of that.
It’s pay2win. That’s why they officially banned boosters last month. Doesn’t matter how much you pretend, or how many extra words you throw in, it’s pay2win
Pay2win is where the company gives you a button that says “Pay X dollars, and get X boost”.
You will not find any buttons anywhere on the Blizzard website or in the game.
People have found a way to get other players to play for them to get them through parts of the game. That has nothing to do with Blizzard. That’s also why they got banned, because they were doing something Blizzard doesn’t support, nor do they approve of it.
If Blizzard DIDN’T ban people for that, MAYBE you would have a case.
