    Right?

    $96 000 000 from subs per month alone (not including box prices, store bought items, profits from other games) can barely feed a house rat, let alone a ridiculously understaffed WoW team. Of course they need to add more micro-transactions.

    They need to hurry up and put the exp% potion, gold drop % increase potion, herb/mineral yield % potion and free lvl 90 boost into the store, and fast, before they go bankrupt from all the money it takes to pay an averagely paid and small team and run those decade old servers!



    Really nice touch on this mount, in all seriousness. Looks so much better than the reskinned protodrakes or regular drakes we get "for free" from playing the game.
    They really should recycle gear models too and put the good transmog stuff as exclusives in the blizz store, they would make so much more money that way. Already got the right idea for mounts. Reskin protodrake and add some model additions, takes about 20 minutes in photoshop and a crappy model edit program, boom done. Spend the real talent and resources making new models and sell them exclusively in the blizz store. If you don't want a carbon drake/protodrake copy you should have to spend more money. Obviously.


    And shit, they're going to make thousands on the new subraces when they add them to the blizz store. $30 a pop per character who wants to be a dark iron dwarf or an undead belf? Thats at least $30 a player, easily.

    it would be funny if updated models was in-game store only

    twenty five bucks, would cover lunch for me and a colleague if we don't mind where go.... its not like its a lot of money. If you think it is then you probably should be paying 15 to play either.
    That's not my point at all. How people spend their money is their business. What has me dumbfounded is how people will start arguing that decision on the internet. It's like walking into an Apple store and start arguing with other customers about how fairly priced the newest iphone is.

    You are right , no reason to buy it .

    Bad bussines plan Blizz.
    It can also function as a ground mount. I've seen a guildie riding it in SoO yesterday.

    Weary. :/

    I am in the camp that doesn't mind a shop at all, but it's impossible to run any form of constructive criticism at the absurd pricing Blizzard is running, since they still cash in on enough people and can set whatever price they want. If you buy this, doesn't it bother you? I'm genuinely curious, if you don't look at it like an isolated buy but in the great whole - do you think the price is fair for what you're getting, comparably?

    good analogy, mindless drones (apple fanboys) dont care how they spend their money, even if they know they are being ripped off/gouged.

    I like Blizzard games, but this in-game store nonsense is pure BS. no time for a 5.5 patch but there is time to sell junk on the store and make trailers for it? interesting.

    Yeah, whats up with sub staying the same for 10 years, even though their overhead must have gone down significantly? They cut most of the CS and GM force, bandwith and decent enough hardware is practically free compared to 10 years ago... Oh wait, some of you though it should have gone up for some reason? Low subs is not a reason to accept raising of the sub price or other explotations, it's a reason for owners to hold off on that new ferrari and stop going to work with a helicopter. I know it sounds harsh, but they will live.

    A tweet from Ghostcrawler (while he was still Lead Systems Designer):

    @SimpleOlive No. We like no flying when content is relevant. In 6.1 the Draenor zones won't be current, but there will be a new no-fly zone

    https://twitter.com/OccupyGStreet/st...11014708408321
    Really not that big of a deal though, if the new zone is something like Isle of Thunder, or Timeless Isle, which don't allow flying either.

    Having the majority of the expansion world unflyable, kind of annoying. Have one or two zones no fly? Not that big of a deal.

    Why should it be ?

    Absolutely loving the 90's paid instantly. Right now i am spending like 20euros to xfer my chars to a busier realm than mine. Having a ready 90 means i will pay ( i guess ) the same amount + allow me to keep my char on original realm so i got 2 'options'. They could make it so u could only make a lvl90 of a class that you have already on eg 85 or smth, all in all i am VERY EXCITED with this feature.
    I will be spending bucks on it, especially making some pvp toons

    My thoughts exactly. They've been working on the new models for over 3.5 years. There is no excuse not to have all character models updated at WoD launch. The lack of resources argument goes straight out the window with this advertisement.

    It's a cool mount though. Wish it could have been a drop or a collectors edition thing. Oh well

    Ehm...and what happens if you put stuff on the shop instead of giving the subscribers something to do? Yeah, right...you will lose more subscribers. But you don't think that far...

    cause this is a sub model game.

    just ditch the subscription model if you want to go all p2w. cool things should be earned, not achieved by some brat who is using his mommys credit card.

    im so tired of really flippin awesome mounts only being available in the store. 25 dollars for a mount when i have tons of them is an unjustifiable expense.
