It helps Blizzard. It makes gold more valuable, which makes the WoW Token more valuable.

How? I had few hundreds euros before that on my blizz account, and I have a lot of tokens and game time. Most gold makers bought tokens before this mount

I mean Blizzard also has stupid pricing.

Blizzard’s pricing is all-around disgusting these days.
They’ve long been able to leverage the quality of their games as reason for the premium costs of…everything. And then they have a very loyal core fanbase that will throw an obscene amount of money at anything they sell.

I do think Blizzard are milking the cow for its last drops now, because their games aren’t that premium anymore, and their fans aren’t so many either. But of course for now it’s easy money.

The suckers gladly get in line to pay.

Please give us residents from a third world country a discount, or add our meme currency in the shop. Thank you

If you buy the mount with gold, then it takes gold out of the in-game economy.
And since this mount is valuable and people will want it, that means that gold to buy it with becomes more desirable.
So gold goes out of the economy at the same time as gold becomes more valuable. That’s simple supply and demand, and it’ll make the WoW Token go up, which will make it worth more gold and thus a better deal to buy for €20. And that’s good for Blizzard’s business.

Noo, the average wow and Diablo player is probably around 30-40 right now. The cow can still be milked hard for a very very long time. Especially the lonely men, who don’t have a wife, who controls their spending a bit. Those are gonna spend the most, even if they aren’t rich

F’s in the chat for the people who spent 20€ on the Bear.

What do you mean a small fortune? that mount has probably made them more money than some of their games.

[Siene-arathor]

Bet it can’t fly either?

[Linalock-firemaw]

But I already had transferred gold in money? most people did that few weeks ago since it was obvious that the price of token will go up, it would be dumb to keep gold in your bank instead of real money or tokens (or both)

[Talanus-chamber-of-aspects]

OMG, I saw this post and thought and thought OP was pulling our legs, but I still looked in the shop, 100% sure I was being trolled. Now I logged in, and Dornogal is like the valley of the dinosaurs (awesome 70’s cartoon). Gotta admit I’m tempted - it looks great.

laugh out loud. but hey, you’re choice so who am i to judge

[Siene-arathor]

Yeah it does lol

Of course. But it’s also a question of morality on the side of Blizzard.

I mean, if Blizzard sold drugs on the store, then you could say the same: “It’s their money, they’re free to spend it as they choose.”
But we’d probably all object to Blizzard selling drugs.

Likewise, selling any digital item for $90 in a video game with a $50 cost and a running subscription is downright disrespectful toward the customer.

@Clergy-the-shatar

laugh out loud.

That’s not very nice, they’ve not been nasty about having the old brutosaur mount
