I say it now, do not buy the Sprite Darter’s Wings from the in-game store!
Do not continue to give Blizzard justification for adding transmogrifications and other unique items to the store. These could have been an awesome in-game reward, you know, for actually playing the game…
Instead, new and unique items are starting to be added to the store for cash, your cash that you already give them every single month to even play the game.
Please share this forum post and do not let this be the start of the new norm.
You better start spamming ingame.
Although, let’s be honest here - these items are even good for the ingame gold economy. How many tokens do you think would be bought to get this item?
i can go earn old, turn to blizz balance via tokens and then buy it.
Its a non issue. Its free for 6 month subs and, if you want to spend the time to make the gold, its free for everyone else too. Sure people wanna take a shorter route and buy in ££ but it can be earned fully from in game play, just like anything else in the store.
make ingame gold -> buy blizz tokens on AH -> turn to Blizz balance -> buy what u want. Stop with this faux outrage. If you think THIS is bad MTX then you have no idea how good you have it.
But here’s the thing - you don’t have to spend your own money to get it. Just buy a token. I think WoW has some of the fairest microtransactions out there, mainly because of how affordable tokens are and how actually f2p-friendly the entire economy is.
Yeah, someone has to spend the money, but that’s on them. They need to buy gold and you need to buy a transmog set. It’s a fair trade. I really don’t get the complaining, when
WoW’s subscription value has gone down by 36% over the past 16 years due to inflation and
It’s 2 items per year which you can easily get by staying subbed or just getting a token.
It’s not like Warframe, where you need to be spending around $30 a month (even if it’s not your own money) on your account in order to stay relevant, or PoE which relies so much on QoL items that the game feels scuffed unless you buy them. It’s just some vanity twice a year, who cares.
You need to pay to make ingame gold aswell, you are paying for something you already paid.
You people are okay with they giving us an ungly 2D recolour for a prepatch event and making us pay for something that would be way cooler for a prepatch reward, that’s the problem here.
Would love to see you guys spending money on those sick sets that blizz added on the ingame shop, that looks way cooler than the ones we got for an entire expansion.
