…but only if it retracts the exact same amount of tenders from being obtainable from Traveler’s Log for the month.
Any amount of tenders from the shop exceeding the number of remaining obtainable tenders from the log should thus be subtracted from the received amount of tenders.
If you so happen to have cleared the Traveler’s Log for tenders for the month and you try to buy more on the shop, you will get none and effectively be donating money to Blizzard for nothing.
Have to get attention with it.
What part of ‘let’s make tenders on the shop an option to the log chores rather than a supplement on top of it’ does not make sense?
With my idea none should feel the need of buying tenders on the shop for maxing out the amount of tenders to have on hand for buying from the Trading Post unless they somehow are unable to get the tenders from Traveler’s Log.
Of course this will hurt Bli$$ard’s potential income from shop sales as unrestricted amount of tenders on sale would indeed allow Bobby to order a new fleet of yachts.
Put on your business hat and tie and pretend to be blizz for just a second.
This makes literally no sense and will never happen.
I just don’t think tenders should have been monetized at all. It was such a simple nice thing for people who were active in the game and all it was was cosmetics, some of the bigger items were just recolours and nobody minded, now again bonus or not, the tenders have a real life value added to them. Whether they sell them directly, or as a bonus it really kills this W Blizzard had implemented.
I fully support this game but I do not support tendies being monetized at all. It doesn’t ruin my gameplay with the Trading post as I will not buy any tenders ever, just like I would never buy any shop item for real money, but it still sours up the feel.
Just truly a shame.
I buy only mounts with tender and maybe 1-2 companions. Most of the mogs are disgusting or not for my main class.
There is nothing wrong to have tenders in the shop but I save alot every month.
If ppl want to buy tenders with money, whats the problem? The rewards are just cosmetic.
The more you allow a company to sell small things, the more you give them a signal that maybe you’ll be okay with them selling bigger things.
This game is already expensive enough as it is. Everything should be strictly earnable in game.
And no, converting in game gold to Blizzard Balance is does not count as “earning it in game” - it’s not a reward for overcoming a new challenge introduced in a new content patch.
Agreed, tenders remaining from in-game sources only would have been the better solution to keep it as a reward from playing the game. However, because Blizzard is being Blizzard, we often have to wish for the second best option when the preferred option is knocked out of the equation.
I can see the OPs idea working as a compromise so you cannot get extra stuff using money, but you can skip the gameplay.
However this begs the question as to why you’d buy a game if you don’t want to play it.
The “grind” for the tender isn’t even particularly bad as you can do it by doing literally anything you want in the game so why would you want to pay for it, unless it was to give yourself an “advantage” and spend more than the max.
They should just stop this gatcha currency madness now immediately, and simply add a paid skip option to the travellers log for 10 bucks for people, who cannot be bothered to play the game. It’s way more consumer friendly monetization this way. My personal way to implement the trading post would have been the following: If I was in charge of blizzard, I would have simply made the traveller’s log way way way more grindy and give people way more currency, but then add a paid skip option without monetizing it any further.
TBH it’s going to be a problematic time as more companies try gatcha and rng like approaches to spending real money, the more they will likely garner the attention of regulators.
I consider this being on par with buying boosts - either the player is disinterested in doing the content that rewards tenders, or they simply do not have time/opportunity to play the game for said month but still do want the tenders for the period.
I’m fine with it because I have 5000 tender, huehheh.
I only pick the best pieces not waste it like most people do. If you have taste you won’t starve tender that’s simple but if you click on purchase for everything you slightly like then BobbyKottick will be smiling at you and your credit card.
yeah I also saved like 1k of this for class sets I want, so I’ll get everything I really want, but it’s still scummy that they do this
Tenders are already in the shop. Only that you are forced to buy something else along with it.
Have you looked at the character you’re posting with?
Buying things you like isn’t ‘wasting it’.
Having said that; I currently have 2550 tender. I usually don’t buy the mounts or the pets or the weapons or any armor type that isn’t usable by hunters.
Theyre never gonna do this due to how easily it is to complete, its not a battle pass where u buy stages ebcause the large quantity of time investment it requires.
Sure if u had to farm 10k of them a month, but right now its simply not enough to incentivize sales to make it worth making this.
They will keep tying tendies to store items and expansions realistically. Id argue their doing it too much currently however, if we are gonna see a item every montb for extra tendies its gojng to be out of hand.
I mean if you like everything and end up with zero tender that’s a problem and Bobby will gladly sell you the solution, tender with money 
Well yeah, sure.
It’s up to each one of us to act like a responsible adult and only buy the things you REALLY want.
Still makes collectors end up with zero tenders.
