Loras is a fan of EA, too, I feel like.

Difference with EA is they went full [insert bad word] and made some elements pay to win. Blizzard just creates the occasional cosmetic mount. I dislike the mounts and wouldnât ever buy something like that (even if thereâs a cool one) because itâs just not how I roll.

Understatement of the year, that.
The average EA game has you pay up for pretty much every major or cosmetic aspect of the game.
Itâs not the cosmetic stuff Iâm talking about, thatâs not pay to win. Itâs the situation like with Battlefront 2 at launch where spending lots of money = skip grind to unlock heroes and best skills.

It starts off as mounts, but Blizzard are now planning on putting toys - whatâs next? full transmog sets? Why not full raid gear sets after that?
It is a dangerous path into darkness, especially for a corporation increasingly being strangled in its own greed.

Kinda like paying for a character boost to avoid the grind to unlock current content.
Iâd agree with that if it was done at the start of an expansion, which isnât the case. You donât get an edge after like a year as you still need to grind (lol) to be competitive.
Toys and mounts I can still agree with, but just like with those helmets they did (and thankfully retired) Iâd get pretty 
if full sets are being sold. However, that still isnât pay to win.
Iâm aware, thatâs why I said
and not just cosmetic.
Thereâs a difference between optional content and pay-to-win features. We both know thereâs a distinction.

But Loras, you see, you donât mind a thing that I dislike, that means I have to put you in the same box as the worst of the specific category that I dislike.

Remember WoD where all the mounts that could be earned were âwolvesâ and anything cooler than a wolf was locked behind the shop?
Remember how weâve had like three or four cash shop mounts in a row, and alliance just gets horses?
Cash shops on a pay to play MMO should not be a thing.

Iâd rather pay a higher sub fee than see Cash shop mounts.

Me: I hope that if vulpera become a playable race they will quickly shed the image of a cutesey bunch of furries.

A tunnel will open up in Volâdun leading to Mechagon in 8.2., letting the Vulpera start pillaging and appropriating Mechagnome tech.
This will lead to them becoming the Chua from Wildstar in 8.2.5. complete with PTSD they suffered from the 7th Legion Despoilers genociding their people.
The Rotgarde blew up our caches on the lagoon 
We wanted to do some weapon testing on the hozen that defecated all over the Alliance graveyard, but then the DAMNED ROTTERS ruined it all.
At least donât spread misinformation OOCly, weâre all better than thatâŚ
They wanted to do a Panda justice court complete with judgment delivered by some Shado-Pan, but sadly before we couldâve carpetbombed the rest of Krasarang a certain Bjora-enthusiast and some Tarsias troglodytes had to be uppity and arrest the Unit.
Sad times, we couldâve solved so many problems with some good old ethnic cleansing in that campaign.

Bought Dark Souls remastered (because it was cheap), started playing it andâŚ
Would rather just play Dark Souls 1. Is that weird? I know its the same game but Iâd just rather play the original. Its not even like i have the original modded or anything.
I prefer the way covenants work in remastered, but thatâs about it.

Iâd agree with this IF everything on the store wasnât already easily obtainable via in game currency.
I got the pig, it cost me nothing more than a little bit of grinding and some savvy auctioneering.

ExceptâŚsomeone still bought the tokens with real money.
And thanks to how the transfer works, blizz made more profit off of it than if youâd just bought the pig outright.
