Do not buy sprite darter's wings

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.

It is an ingame reward for subbing to the game for 6 months with an option to buy it otherwise.

Don’t let facts get in the way of your rant though.

That’s exactly my issue with it Dejarous. It is a pay only item.

You either PAY for 6 months to buy it…
OR pay just for that item.

Either way, this isn’t an earned in-game reward, from a quest, from an in-game activity!

Your facts totally align to this post, and I am totally against it, as you should be too.

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 had 6 months renewing and got the dreadwake mount. If someone already has it then I see no issue.

Im not switching to 6 from my current 3 tho

I can’t, I agree!
What I don’t agree with is the method of acquisition that Blizzard has forced upon us.

Your sexy Tauren should be able to go out into the world of Azeroth, and earn this item, in the game, that you are already paying for.

Exactly, and the circle goes around.

I already bought the blizzcon pass for the onesie, so I already have one funny cutesy outfit but this one hits different

people who buy it, is the same people that goes “Blizzard only cares about the money, game bad, fix game, they no care, no bueno”

I don’t want cosmetic items on the shop, like, we are getting an ugly recolour from a warfront for prepatch…

Just add that set as a reward for prepatch, instead of making us pay for it.

We already pay enough. It’s pretty sad, that set has more textures than some of the new sets we got.

I mean yes it can do that.

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

  1. WoW’s subscription value has gone down by 36% over the past 16 years due to inflation and
  2. 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.

but… im on a 6 month Sub xD so i got it in my gift box lol

im almost certain 95% of players with it are the ones on the 6 month sub lol, not many would honestly outright pay £20 on a Novelty set.

But what if Blizzard gave it to me already?

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.

Can this non-sense stop already ?

Players who want to buy it will buy it period .

IF u feel like you are encouraging " unhealthy marketing " don’t buy it !

Stop telling other players what to do .It doesn’t work it never did it never will .
