I just witnessed someone getting kicked for having a store helm in LFR yesterday, it's pretty sad.

Is anyone else totally unsurprised that this is happening in LFR? I mean it seems perfectly consistent with the LFR mentality, which is cut the tall grass low, everyone should be on the same level etc. Of course they're pissed someone has a hat they can't get. These are the same people that ruined raiding just so they didn't feel left out. When anyone does anything special you can expect the LFR group to be up in arms because they're not getting a peice of it handed to them. I think we should ban anyone who doesn't have a hat.
I think the word you're looking for is "apologist". And this is the same argument people always use whenever they're mad at Blizzard over something silly and get called on it.
Blizzard is still developing game content for a few games that I'm enjoying quite a lot and while the transmog items are certainly a bit of a cash grab, the negative response from them has been, in my opinion, far over the top. I'm not apologizing for them, because Blizzard has nothing to be sorry for in this case. They are optional vanity items that did not detract in any major way from the content that's already going into the game for subscribers.
The day that they start selling current-Tier gear or the equivalent, then I'll probably raise an eyebrow and start eyeing the Cancel Subscription service since I'm not so keen on Pay to Win scenarios...but then I don't see them doing that anytime soon either since that would ultimately hurt their bottom line rather than bolster it (if you can buy the best gear in the game in a day as opposed to subscribing for months to work towards it, the demand for content would even further outstrip their ability to provide it).
TL;DR Hate the game, not the player. Or something like that.
What alot of people don't get is, it's not like on these other games where you buy 1 item, this is a helm that is tied to your whole account, every toon you have or will ever make gets this helm, and imo it's worth those $15.
Anyone that said otherwise is just some poor kid, that isn't allowed to get mums credit card.
Still got 2 more helmets to go out, you know. To piss off people against them.

Thank you very much for hooking me up with that helm of winter Huntington, that was very kind of you.
I will wear it proudly and test this whole getting the boot thing as I have been spamming LFR last night and I have not seen one person get hassled or kicked nor have I seen anyone in these 75+ pages post a SS so at least from what i have seen it is just a few childish people trying to stir up things or if it is actually happening it is not common.
Just because I don't care does'nt mean I don't understand
I know the voices in my head are not real BUT they have some REALLY good ideas
My response might be a little late, maybe somebody have already mentioned this but.
Do you remember the Celestial Steed (TRH, that retarded horse)? Just the label, reminds me of this item.
Just mentioning, I still don't have an explanation why some people have something against these.
Well I camped two guys on Isle of Thunder for about two hours last night and both had store helms.
Does that make me a bad person ? Fuck no I'd have camped them anyway.
I can see why people do it, it's a shady buisness model to say the least, but I don't think that "teaching them a leason" in game is the way to go.
This is not even a big deal. I love how this has gotten so many responses.
It has probably happened a total of twice and both times it was probably 1 guy initiating the vote with everyone blindly clicking yes.
I'm guessing this happened on a PVP realm? In that case, it's fair game. You're on opposite factions on a server where killing the opposite faction is the main attraction. The problem is the people that misuse the system to grief people on their own faction just because they have an inferiority complex.
Im pretty amazed some players kick other for buying shit in blizz store.
This is brilliant.
This is a nice answer from the community and i hope it ll go further than kicking them.
There're still some true fan after all.

What specific content have you missed out on because of three helmets being in the store? They were made with one very specific purpose in mind, they would not have been made otherwise.

I'm guessing you're one of the people who thinks the community has been going to shit lately?
