Micro Transaction Information

you get a loot box every time you level.....

This. And it is basically infinite levels.

[Deleted]

.. Considering how many of these lootboxes we essentially will end up with during play you have to be tremendously impatient to go for this route.

I spent like a fiver when I got those skins. Sorry I earn an income I guess? Also simple solution, don't buy loot boxes since they are easily earned ingame.

Well good for you. Some of us just can't stomach the fact that they are pumping money out of people they call whales and manipulate their customers into spending as much money as possible. Possibly even abusing such lovely things as gambling addiction. Let's face it, that's what these blind boxes are doing, essentially being lottery tickets.

I joked about spending 50 quid but I'm not a fool. Spent like a tenner on lootboxes in total since it really isn't that much.

Again you don't have to buy them. I just chose to. You can easily farm as many as you want by just playing. Also because other loot boxes in other games similar don't do this kind of shit? Also I only see you crying about it so far so lemme know when the "some" arrive rather than one

Exaclty, so I choose not to buy the game. How hard is it just to accept my reasoning and leave it be?

Because your reasoning is idiotic due to the fact that you are pretending that the stuff that is offered through the boxes used to be widely free in your alternate reality past.

[Eleccybubb]

Not saying you don't have a choice that would be denying you the free will a human has. I'm saying your stance on the store is moronic as you can farm loot boxes in the game without having to spend anything and since there is an unlimited amount of levels you can keep farming. So again stop trying to put words in my mouth.

Can you hand in a non-winning ticket to get some credit back ?
No.
Can you get a free lottery ticket regularly for doing other stuff ?
No.

Not even close.
You just are another jumping on the transaction hate bandwagon for the sake of it.

Purely cosmetic/aesthetic choices in no way offering player power.
No exclusivity to the store-bought crates.

Those being the main criticisms people lay out for the other stores, in WoW and in Hearthstone.
So you have no argument.

[DeadmanWalking]

Oh wow now we have to be grateful that we don't have to spend money to gain an edge on an online game we already bought and paid for /snort.

Actually it does s the fact that you don't need to spend any money unless you chose to. Just because something exists doesn't mean you have to buy it. If you have to buy something just because the option is there then that is on you and your control issues.

[Mormolyce]

Thank you for informing us, I won't be buying this game then.

-Boxes contain only cosmetics
-Boxes are ALSO rewarded regularly for playing the game (one box every time you level, no level cap)
-Duplicate box items are converted to gold you can use to buy said cosmetics directly

LITERALLY the only thing those boxes do is speed up the process.

Honestly I have no idea how Blizzard expects to make money on them.

I'm a whale and I won't be buying them. Probably...

If your reasoning is that you don't like the game or don't want to play it, that's fine, not like you have to. I think that if your reasoning is that you don't like the payment model, it's fair to criticise that reasoning. Because OW's payment model really couldn't have more minor "microtransactions".

[Deleted]

This payment model works perfectly.

Buy the game, have access to everything from the get go and into the future.

Purely cosmetic micro-transactions on a shop. Good for them!

Now on WoW however... box sale + monthly sub + cash shop... that's silly, but hey, who cares at this point. At least they got it right on OW

What a load of crap.

Seriously

The difference is basicly this:
The updates that wow get requires FAR more man power and resources. If wow did not have a sub model blizzard wouldnt be a profit company.

[jellmoo]

You collect loot boxes as you level.
You can choose to buy loot boxes with real money.
Loot boxes contain purely cosmetic items.

What the hell are people complaining about here?!?

For the sake of it.

The fact that have to buy them, which is obviously false since you can absolutely unlock everything without buying any boxes. Sure it will take time but I am fairly sure that was the intend..

Because your "reasoning" is blatantly false and is just spreading even more misinformation to the uninformed that these loot boxes have items that increase play power when they do not. It's all cosmetic shit

[Deleted]

Feel free to show me where I've said it "increases play power".

[Dug]

So then your entire argument is even more stupid because you're crying about RNG.

[Socialhealer]
