Fat "Kachink" pig mount of $$$ on day 1 of mythic race?

Community General Discussion

Are you actually trying…to commit PR suicide? Like people defended the huge 6 month sub boat but you can’t freaking defend this… ITS A PIG…a FAT PIG OF THE SACRED DOLLAR. Like literally stating that in the description.

It even has the “Kachink” sound mid video… as a testament to fleecing your customers with more microtransactions.

This is embarassing, Blizzard… legitimately embarassing.

Just when things begin calming down and the mythic race hits, people are excited and having fun, and then you do this.

The youtube comment section is pure gold even from major WoW content creators.

Edit: A friend told me its because of Chinese new year. Which is fine. But at the same time, thats not exactly helping the situation since in China corporatists worship deities of money (like the piggy here), combined with the accusations of greedy business practise that are encircling you, Blizz.

sigh can you just stop… and let us enjoy the game without causing more drama? And as always. Put this fat pig IN THE GAME FOR FREE because thats what our sub money goes to.

I’d buy that, with money I make from buying tokens with gold.

So triggered you are. You think Im gonna check the entire forum if a post about this already exists? No. Furthremore I have other things to say than other people

And lastly. I bet that you already bought the piggy and now feel you must defend your purchase which makes you sad.

As I already stated. Dont like what I wrote? DONT READ IT.

Just like I wont buy this mount.

Simple as that, Cela.

It seems that the trend is to hate everything from Blizz, it is a bit ridiculous at this point.

btw I am not fan of store mounts and I won’t buy the pig…

Im subbed. I love raiding. I love lots about wow and played since 2005. Im not a fan however of crap microtransactions in a game we pay to play… that mount should be free in game for us to earn with skill and effort… not the almighty dollar.

I dont follow trends. I’m tired of bad business practise.

This wasn’t aimed at you.

Yeah, it should be aquirable in game, but as I’ve written before, there are mounts which can take you months to farm or they are extremely overprized and with addition of tokens you can buy those from store for less gold that many of the most favourite mounts in the game.

It certainly is and im not talking about an item in a store.

Are you guys all members of some communist party? Or is someone paying you big to sow discord?

Pay to win argument?.. really? No. Put it in a raid or a dungeon or locked behind professions or rep.
THAT…is actual in-game content considered gaming.

Just because Im richer than you or anyone doesn’t mean I should be able to progress or get stuff in a game. Thats pay to win BS.

And once again. WE ALREADY PAID… by subbing for new content. Your in-game gold used to buy sub money SHOULD GO to the creation of this abominable fat pig of divine capitalism.

Your point in inexistent.

No, it is not pay to win … as far as there are only cosmetic items in the store.

Consider me embarassing all you want. At least I’m not stupid. Micro transactions have no business in a game that is PAY to play.

Simple as that. And no, i’m not a communist (which if you were educated you’d know doesn’t exist anymore because its a failed ideology).

I’m a balanced guy that wants value for my money. Not to get piece-mealed parts of a thing I bought because greed.

That made no sense.

It’s Lunar Festival. The Asian servers just got back up after maintenance. It’s Chinese New Year. It’s the Year of the Pig. Blizzard releases a Pig mount. Last year it was Year of the Dog. They released a dog.

Whoop-de-friggin’-do.

I personally look forward to 2023, Year of the Rabbit! The mount potential there! :heart_eyes:

P.S: On a side note, then in years past, it wasn’t uncommon that a certain region had access to a special promo pet that other regions couldn’t get. Players complained about that, wanting access to everything regardless of which region it was intended for. So today Blizzard tends to do do worldwide releases even for offers like this one which is clearly a promotion of the Chinese New Year. Don’t bash Blizzard for giving players access to the things they’ve asked to have access to. :roll_eyes:
