Blizzard keeps putting these stuff for real money because people are willing to pay for it.
...then they gotta pay the consequences.
What's all this fuss about anyway? It's cosmetic item same as blizzard store mounts. Hundreds of thousands of people bought these mounts and no one is complaining. Then they release a bit more varied cosmetic stuff and omg omg wow is dying.
Get your shit together. It's not item level 999 gear, 100 slot bag or a pouch with a million gold coins inside. F2P model abuse pay to win mechanics like crazy yet even these games have their playerbases. WOW never had anything from pay2win model.
I have many tcg mounts and vanity stuff like 150k hearthstone (ethereal portal). Had plenty of "no life" whispes from people thinking that i spent sooooo much money on these. Thing is I can make ingame gold extremely fast and never spent 1 euro, even if I did - why do you care, its my money not yours.

As someone who highly opposes the whole microtransaction debacle which is currently happening, I find this hilarious.
I just hope some official forum posts come out of it and we get a blue response
That's fucked up if that actually happens. I've bought the bat mount and one of the transmog helmets and I'm god damn glad I have. Fuck anybody that honestly feels they have a reason to harass another player for their own purchases. I love the Blizzard store and I absolutely 100% hope they expand upon the transmog helm idea. its that kind of mentality that makes me lose hope in the vast majority of the wow community.
Yeah, that's really the point. It was a plausible story to tell here on this forum because there are enough people passionate enough in their anger on MMO-C to do such a thing. But people passionate on this, either for or against, are such a tiny minority of the player base.
This is rage-porn fantasy, really.
That is not dead which can eternal lie.
And with strange aeons even death may die.
This is not a justified form of protest. The only justified form of protest in this case is to cancel your subscription and tell Blizzard that the Transmog-helmets are the reason. The only thing you are doing is ruining another player's experience because you don't agree with how he handles his finances.
In short: If you have a problem with Blizzard, take it to Blizzard and not the players.
I doubt this sort of thing is happening a lot. Here and there I'm sure because a few people are upset, but I'm sure I could queue for a ton of LFR/LFD and be fine. Once in a blue moon you get grumpy people, but for the most part I've never had any problems ever (in general I mean)
I find it hillarious
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
"Unethical" indeed. I got a Spectral Tiger by buying a card pack, and lo and behold, the card was inside. I received the helm as a gift. I already had other mounts and other transmog helms that I've acquired in-game. Why is it any different to have those as well? How does it affect you if I have something that I legitimately got?
Very flawed thinking.
3 hints to surviving MMO-C forums:
1.) If you have an opinion, someone will say that it is wrong
2.) If you have a source, there will be people who refuse to believe it
3.) If you use logic, it will be largely ignored
