How do people justify store mounts and ingame store for a game you pay to play?

They’re still a product added ontop of another product you already pay for.

I just don’t see the thing that people here are so valiantly defending their right to spend more money onto the game they are already paying money for to play.

No it was not at all as the 3 mounts that drop from DS already .
People asked for a mount like Deathwing after DS came out .

Came with WOD as was added to store later .

I don’t really know what you’re trying to say lol.

Not a storemount any longer.

Citation needed.

Yeah fair enough with this one.

I’m already bored of the argument. You didn’t want a discussion, you wanted a bunch of ‘yes people’

I haven’t bought a store mount in like 2 years now, what a dumb argument. “People are defending their ability to spend their own money”

Those were 3 recolored dragons that looked the same model wise. You have to be kidding or to be blind if you can’t see the dragon represented Thrall’s beam that took down Deathwing in the cinematic.

Weak is expecting to be treated like a king when you have paid only 5 cents tip. Anyway it’s clear you have no idea how neither world nor business works so I’m out of this discussion.

Justify what? We didn’t add those mounts, Blizzard did. Players mostly didn’t care about it.

While I did buy all the mounts with gold I collected from boe farms I still agree that store mounts shouldn’t exist. We are paying 13 a month (156 eu a year!). That is more than enough money for the game to not have any forms of microtransactions. But greed and videogames go hand to hand these days.

No there were not .

Came with WOD was added to shop later.

You can buy all pets toys mog and mounts via ingame gold thus making it part of the game .

Indeed but credit where it is due, it’s still a shop mount now

Again, you have nothing better to say. You just make up a strawman out of nothing and burn it down as an example to show you are right.

I know perfectly well how it works and it’s not helping them in the long run. Take a look at RuneScape. The original one is uphold but a few of fat whales with big fat cash, but the rest of the players are busy playing the older version. One that has no cash shop or anything cosmetic.

Stick to your own threads bud. You have every right to defend your right to pay more money towards a corporation. I am not stopping you.

Lol they were, are you blind?
Deathwing can drop 2 mounts, those are all recolors.
The achievement one is also another recolor of Alexstrasza’s dragon model.

You are not right at all.

Yes it was. The model is in the raid, the mount is even called Heart of the Aspects.
We got a recolour instead.

That is exactly why the store sucks.

No, it really does not.

Money I guess. Blizz stated multiple times that the most revenue comes from the store and not from the subs.

Also you get the new mounts for free if you have a 6 months sub anyway. (and if you don’t have 6 months sub, you can still buy the mount with ingame gold). It’s a lot cheaper than the brutosaur (which was an ingame mount and not a store one) for example.

for a game we already pay to play…

Mounts aren’t essential to helping you play the game. I’ve got plenty and never visited the blizz-store once for one.
(Got one free with an expansion, some kind of space worm thingy but yeah… Anyway)
I think you want to go to other game forums and complain there about how you ‘need’ to get armour/weapons upgrades to be meta for their game progress.

Yes because they took it out the damn store. You think you’re winning the argument here?

You are lazy to enter the dungeon yourself to see it with your own eyes?

No, I want a valid discussion. Saying the grinning reaver isn’t a store mount because Blizzard took it out of the damn store without making it accessible any other wise is a damn weak, pathetic argument.

Then you are frankly wasting your time defending something you don’t care about? Okay.

It was meant to drop from DS though? Just like the WotLK horse was supposed to drop from Algalon.

Here, this man was before his time.

“the mount had nothing to do with DS, it just was named after 4 of the aspects relevant in the raid and the beam that Thrall used to take deathwing out of the sky”

You are a comedian.

Nothing to do with DS?

It is literally in the raid. It is literally themed after the Dragons combining their power to defeat Deathwing.

What are you even trying to achieve here? You’re baffling me.

But it’s not a reward for doing some in the video game.
You’re correct on a literal pedantic level, yes, well done to you for being such a clever individual.
But if you don’t see the distinct difference with a 5th boar versus a brand new model as in-game incentives to do content then I may as well be talking to a mannequin.

I don’t need to win an argument. More son when you lost it with a loaded question as bait.

You’re too lazy to back up your claim? I’m not going to prove your argument for you lmao, get real.

You’re not even contributing to a valid discussion when you replies are dismissive garbage and repeated false statements eg: “Blizzard are forcing me to buy storemounts as a mount collector”

Not really. I can take part in a discussion that concerns an aspect of the game I play. Okay?
