why i HATE the in game store

[m777]

people always say what ur problem why dose it bother u there is in game store my problem is
i AM PAYING FOR THIS GAME 13 EURO A MONTH!!! and they are using this money to create PETS and MOUNTs that could have been dropped from ingame and not from my WALLET and they are still using there money to keep and support this feature now u can buy it in game just link ur credit card write ur password and start buy everything that u already payed for ( u are paying for the game 13 euro month ) so now u have to pay each month and then pay for the content too

before some smartass come and say if u dont like it dont buy my problem is this pets and mounts could have been INGAME DROPS

if u haven't noticed they make u pay twice for the same thing u already paying them 13euro month to make new content and then they sell this new content to u AGAIN

[Blufossa]

They could be in-game drops, but they aren't and it IS Blizzard's game.

And again, they have different teams for different parts of the game. The model team I'm pretty sure doesn't cross with the UI team or the content team(s).

If you don't like it, don't use it..

With the exception of where/how you get into the store, NOTHING have changed.. It's the same store, with the same goods as pre v5.4.2.....

and they are using this money to create PETS and MOUNTs that could have been dropped from ingame

so exept pets and mounts from the store we have no updates since classic wow ? or BC ? I don't remember when shop was open.

May be i even agree with the part about ingame drops, but i cant say that bliz using my money to make something for shop.

[Deleted]

You are correct, but wait to see people try to tell you that these mounts/pets/transmog gear are made by a completely separate team with its own funding LOL.

classic wow ? or BC ? I don't remember when shop was open.

WotLK, obviously.

Blizzard is a business. Businesses exist to make money. YOU are the one who decides if you can control yourself enough to not give them that extra money. This post is ridiculous on so many levels.

[Cosmic Janitor]

While you have a point that blizzard does have a despicable buisness practice here with tripple dipping into our pockets, your argument would look alot better if it were less 'ranty'.

It's facinating how people will always defend being ripped off or abused. A little tip from me though, if you think it is bad, just vote with your wallet. Everything else is pointless from here on out.

It'd be a problem if the Blizz Store was the only way to get good looking mounts, but the Blizz Store mounts are a minority and there are many amazing mounts to get through RNG, Achievements, Grinding or Gold without ever having to pay beyond your subscription fee.

My Invincible attracts way more attention than my Fey Dragon for sure.

Think i will still make the smart ass and comment and say don't like it don't buy it.


You seem really upset about nothing just looking for stuff to cry about would be my guess.

[Darsithis]

Pets & mounts have been sold for years. Why are you upset about it now?

[Ealyssa]

You have 2 options actually :

1)don't use it
2)quit wow

From my point of view I hope you take the second (god I hate crying ragers). But it's up to you.

One could argue that an ingame store is the first step onto a whole new level of micro transaction milking. Personally I think it's a product placement and quality of service change for a disgusting service, but still a smal step in the wrong direction is still a step in the wrong direction.

[Sinic]

You pay €13 to play this game.

You can still fly with any other mount.

You can still battle with any other pet.

Not having things sold in the in-game store doesn't hinder you at all from doing what everyone else who also pay for this game can.

[Deja Thoris]

I pay for satellite tv and they use it to develop other products I don't buy. I should get those products for free. Awesome logic there.

hint: You are paying for access to the game they give you, what they choose to spend dev time on and charge for isn't for you to decide (or like). If you want a say then buy shares.

Personally, I think anything in the store should be available *somehow* in game. Even if it's the rarest of rare drops.

Beyond that, I can't muster much care either way. I say open the floodgates, and put just about everything on the store. If folks want to purchase things, let em.

If it's extremely rare, people will buy it, reducing it's rarity.

If it's extremely common, it's not worth buying.

If it's somewhere in between, it's mediocre.

[Mysterymask]

..why is everyone on this forums so pissed off about the most OPTIONAL things in this game

I mean gawd everyone bitches about flying mounts (dont ride them), LFR/LFD (Dont use it), Pet Battles (dont bother with it) and the in game store (don't click it)

so people start whine about why so low drop chance ? people will star to say that bliz forces them to buy pets\mounts couse drop chance is so low.

While I disagree with them replacing the HELP button with the STORE button (which I dont even see because lol UI) I have to agree and disagree with OP. First. I hate the issue with the Help Button, second I hate that they make mounts with it. I am fine with the pets though, I wish they did more pets and didn't do mounts at all in fact, the mounts are a bit overboard and they are going over the line with the amount we are getting recently. If they just slowed it down, I don't think anyone would mind. The real issue is the consumable items, which will hopefully never hit the US/EU that has Pay to Win written all over its potential.

My Elvui isn't showing the in-game store button.
