    No, I DO NOT agree with an in-game cash shop.

    Mounts, pets, and helms? Sure, I suppose. I'd prefer it if they were in game, but frankly, if the cash shop didn't exist, they just simply wouldn't ever have been made, so... it's a unilateral move at best.


    As for the leveling potions and (close to) max level characters... they already technically sell those things in the form of recruit-a-friend and scroll of resurrection; this would just be streamlining it.

    But as for Garrisons upgrades (seeing as they actually GIVE your character gameplay things,) real stat gear, gold, and all that other stuff? No way.

    Yes, and I'm really disappointed that they didn't add the XP boost with 5.4....

    When will silly people use their brains and realise we have had an in-game shop ever since the first pet or mount.
    The ONLY difference now is an in-game interface.
    Selling in-game items for cash IS NOT NEW.

    Yet nobody wants to talk about that, because it doesn't support a narrow-minded view.

    Isnt flamebaiting kinda against the rules?, just asking

    the ONLY thing i see as acceptable is that u could be able to buy some sort of EXP boost ( 30% perhaps) if u got 3-4 or more characters of max lvl (10% pr max lvl char)

    The mount training, i have a feel it will be account wide

    I think an in-game cash shop such as you suggest would be a marvelous idea. Because, you see, sometimes I think back to how much I enjoyed playing WoW, or I see something new, and I think "Hey, maybe I should resub and give Blizzard another try". And it takes some effort to resist WoW's siren song. But with a cash shop like you depict (which I suspect is actually in line with what Blizzard wishes they had) such thoughts could scarcely exist.

    Thank for for your excellent reminder on what we can expect the future of WoW to look like!

    It's still a sub based game. All of the things I have proposed are things they either already sell or if they added the extra things, they would all be non power items

    The keyword to remember here is: Optional.

    Garrisons are the exception, though. They actually grant players access to materials and justice points/valor points and, if I recall correctly, shots at gear.

    Those are pretty much "power items"

    Jaylock always starts flamebait threads... :/ (side note, think he said some time ago that he does not play, just goes in here and makes threads to piss people of/start fighting). I think this idea is horrible, sorry to say but many of your ideas Jaylock does not make much sense :/

    No because it will be the beginning of the end for a game I love. It would have happened anyway at some point, I just thought WoW had a few more clean years in it.

    I'm just gonna leave this here and that'll be my 2 cents in this thread:

    The prices on your list i think are too steep, $100 for a lvl 90 character ......not a chance. Maybe $30

    From someone who has played that game from its inception and seeing what it has become, I agree 100%.

    Cash shops should only be for f2p games looking for funds for the game , and/or completely cosmetic / un-intrusive services.

    As for the price of the shop items? If i pay 60 for an expansion, I shouldnt have to pay 25 for a mount or 10 for a pet. Its an exploitative system ( like dlc ) for sharks and predatorial price fixing. In comparison to the content you get for an expansion, a pet should be pennies on the dollar. The same can be said for paid services like character transfers, xp boosts, race changes, etc. All of which do not require more content to be made by developers (once the service has been built). Charging 30 for a service that is entirely automated is absurd, and the "its used to curb frequent use" is a cop-out and actually has a way of harming servers (like the ones that need more players) because of the large fees.
