OP…
You can’t tell peoples not to buy it.
So many peoples is against Mounts / pet and now this set from the store…
You can’t tell those that Yes, pay a Sub to play, but want something Fancy on the side.
Thats completely up to them, You can’t tell them not to support Blizz alittle extra if they ENJOY the set.
It’s their Choice to do so.
I know a Certain streamer which encourages his viewers to use /Spit
Against anyone who has anything from the Store which is extremely toxic to the ones willing to pay blizz alittle more to look Fancy.
So telling peoples not to buy it is just Silly im sorry to say.
But its their Choice.

Not “interpretation” but implementation. When you live/located in a country you abide by the local/regional/international laws, and these thousands of laws define the framework within which the businesses operate. I have not studied (company) law, but from general knowledge, there are probably more rules, regulations, standards, bylaws, procedures, governance and certifications than were in deep Stalinistic USSR… (exaggerating for effect). I am not sure if “capitalism” as in “free market forces” can describe any business or sector in the Western world, currently. Our societies, and the myriads of laws that govern us, are centered more and more around politics than free markets.
No i am being an adult who understands how the real world works. They are a company, they are here to succeed, when you run a company you’ll understand.
Now I’ve said my bit, carry on and have fun righting the world as you see it

There will always be people who hate a game having a game store for additional content. No matter what you say they’ll see Blizzard as evil for being a business.
Blizzard didn’t have to give this away free to six months subs, nor do they have to do so with the amazing store mounts - but they do and that’s great.
If you compare Blizzard IPs… Warcraft does additional purchases better than Overwatch which tries to force you to watch hundreds of hours of Overwatch league or buy dozens of loot box packs for the 0.0000000000000001% chance of getting the advertised item.
You talk as if wow was free to play game with no paid expacs or sub. lol.

What if you get it for free? With in-game gold?
I am not giving Blizzard any of my real life money and I get free stuff in return.

The whole store practice is unethical to begin with. I’m not going to buy it, I don’t buy anything from their store since it’s a subscription game and I disapprove to having a store to begin with in it for that reason, but let’s not kid ourselves - it’s not going to deter them from putting more stuff in there.

As long as people buy it, they will put it here, which is going to happen always, because people dont have self control or ethical views. For example majority of corporate shills, who would find wallet with load of cash, would keep it, instead of returning to its owner.

all type of government and political economics starts with philosophical definitions. the inventor of capitalism and communism and democracy were all philosophers. except for tyrany. its just a power-grab system that lead to disaster.
it was implemented by leaders. first by american leaders and later by the rest of the world. europe did socialism because of bolsheviks great influence and ww2.
eventually the best is the middle ground between communism and democratic capitalism. it creates a form of democratic capitalist socialism. a system started in europe and eventually gains power all over the world.
but this is the power of political leaders. and their implementation.
Yeah and those Haters such as the streamer which i will not name influences Toxcity.
It’s just as BAD as buying stuff from the Store.
- You don’t have to buy the Months to get the mount you could buy it seperatly.

Well many things have an entry fee right?
It’s like being an annual Disney park pass holder, that will get you into the park quick and ensure you don’t pay to enter each time. But naturally it won’t mean everything in the park is free to you.
while i personally watch ‘that streamer’, me and many others are against it regardless of what he thinks. i have other reasons to be against it.
unlike what you think, people dont need him for thoughts.
Whats the point to pay to enter, if you dont get everything in there then.

Stores, on-site hotels, side events, etc. It would be a bit odd if you could say walk into Disney land with your annual pass (not sure of the cost of it, but let’s say it costs 600 USD/Euro per anum.) And then be able to use that pass to walk out of any the parks item stores with thousands of $/euros worth of inventory at no cost to you. Or be able to eat at all the restaurants for free all the time in there. The park wouldn’t be in business for long.
The entry fee gets you in for the basic experience, the additional stuff keeps the game/park/whatever profitable enough.
Yeah, but in wow you dont pay just annual pass (expac), but also monthly sub, for which you expect to get whole game and everything in future with no additional payment. If one day you come to the park and suddenly new ride was with extra payment, while all other rides broken and rusted, you would probably not go to that park again.

IRL that is how people spend at Disney. Lots of old run down rides or rides with failed designs, but they keep paying for the extras and auto-renew each year lol.
Yeah exactly, thats why they get away with this nonsence, because people keep spending anyway.

Guys!
If you’re still this pro-microtransactions, remember that Blizzard intentionally increased the prices for the EU and UK got most affected!

So imagine that + the stuff they are pulling off!
Bobby needs a new airplane lol!
