    Glyphs and helms don't have anything to do with one another. In any case, just don't buy it and you won't get cheated. If you do buy something that you enjoy having that's not being cheated either. Basically, you're entirely confused on what 'cheated' means.

    Nah.

    Anyway, if he was on weed he'd not be whining. Quite the opposite.

    I'm not feeling cheated at all. Guess this is one of those vocal minority things I keep hearing about when there's a lot of complaining going around.

    I am definitely not cheated by these glyphs or the helms, because I didn't buy them.

    I'd rather have the glyphs tbh.

    Could not care less for the helms. Nor the store for that matter.

    Seriously, what glyphs? Am I going blind? Have I finally managed to transmog Illidan's blindfold on my plate helmet? D:

    If the glyphs went into the store, then it'll be a bad business for inscription. Just sayin'.

    What if you actually found out if that is the case, before whining about it? I think that's the central part of the issue at least for me.

    Real fair to the subscribers compared to helms on the Blizzard store right? How do you guys feel about this?
    How I feel about this? How i FEEL?

    [Glyph of Sha] >>*10^∞³ [Butt ugly Helmets]

    You could say that I'm very much looking forward to the glyph. :<

    Actually it was mentioned recently Blizzard is aware of their community discussions, including MMO Champ forums. So these threads can make a difference in the sense that they bring attention to the fact that some people aren't okay with them charging money for content on a subscription based game.

    But of course the apologists skip right over these posts.

    Subscription + cash shop = getting fleeced.

    Some people are okay with getting taken advantage of. Some people even like it. Keep going through life with that mentality and see where you end up.

    Not that hard to not pay for all of that vanity stuff. Can't get fleeced if you don't pay for it. Actually, if you want the item and pay for it and like what you got then you are not getting fleeced at all, because you got exactly what you wanted.

    The only real problem with the helms is that they are $10 more expensive than they should be.

    It is optional, however many "cash shop games" also have subscription packages. Everyone acts all indignant and up in arms over WoW offering 100% optional items when they aren't the first to have a subscription and cash shop and this not even being the first time of offering vanity items.

    Not to mention plenty of things in real life have a secondary cost. When you fly you have to pay for your ticket and snacks or extra baggage. When you go a sports event you have to pay for your ticket and food even if you are a season ticket holder (and have subscribed). When you buy a car you have to pay for satellite radio, gas, insurance, and extras for your car.

    Having a cash shop isn't being taken advantage of because you aren't forced to buy it. If you think a cash shop that is 100% optional is being fleeced or taken advantage of then you need to examine your own mentality because that is the actual problem here.

    Why do people think that they made them on the spot? They're more than likely past projects that got abandoned, like the recolor of the Death Knight's quest greatsword that never made it into Ulduar.
