Yeah shame on Blizzard. Just like Shame on Ferrarri for making their cars be so expensive and forcing me into buying them. Oh wait

These types of sales aren't new. You see them in music concerts, theme parks, film festivals, premieres, pop culture conventions, loot crates, pre-orders, in-game events, and real time outdoor events (such as Pokemon's). People who are genuinely interested save up for these exclusive items (e.g. the murloc pet in every BlizzCon).
You say you don't care and you're not interested in buying it, fine. But you associate yourself with someone who wants said items but doesn't want them (because they're bundled). Nothing is free, you pay for the base game, permission and features. All these bundled items are just bonuses for those who attend or support outside events; they're not tailored to the passerby.
It's not shitposting because I disagree. It's shitposting because it's a pre-planned, obvious promotion that happens with any franchise of any media platform, and you're bitter because it's not free.
Because it is cheap. I mean thousands of people paid about $100 for the recent McGregor v Mayweather fight to get that on pay-per-view, and they didn't even get extra goodies for it.

Exactly this. This is not just Blizzard, it's like almost everything in this capitalistic society when it comes to entertainment. It's like complaining about people paying extra for the Collector's Editions of games that give you extra things like OST music, art books, and in-game extras.
It's called "optional" for a reason.
Good lord the amount of things people try to actively grieve about in life is almost astounding.
And no, this is not me being a Blizzard fanboy considering how I've never purchased the BlizzCon virtual tickets like, ever. It's just common sense that extra things are extra.
So if something is pre-planned, anyone who expresses anything other than support is shitposting? What?
Theres arguments on both sides and there's shitposting on both sides. You can't callout one side for doing it, then remain perfectly oblivious for those who do it on your side.
Not everything needs to be praised, nor by everyone. If Blizzard released a new patch tomorrow that was completely amazing, someone has every right to voice their dislikes. That's not shitposting. It's putting your opinion out there on a product you pay for.
You want to know what is shitposting? These people who come into any thread where someone states a dislike, then whine that "everyone complains about everything". They don't contribute anything to the actual topic. Every single topic has one of those, even if the OP has mostly good things to say.
Shitposting is something that takes away from a forum's purpose, generally with useless replies that don't further the discussion at hand.
Cry on you poor people, your tears fuel my fucking airship.
they want you to buy 2 flying mount you would not be able tu use in argus lol
Yeah, kinda sucks, it's a sweet mount. I'm tempted to buy it but it'd literally be the only thing I'd want from it; I wouldn't even watch any of the blizzcon shit so it's hard to justify. Might just use gold to buy tokens, turn them into a balance, and buy the mount that way I guess.
EDIT: the goodie bags are really stupid, though? Collectible backpack hangers? Are you fucking serious? That is some of the stupidest shit I've seen.

A mount in WoW.
Shit in Diablo 3.
Shit in Overwatch.
Shit in HoTS.
Shit in Hearthstone
Shit StarCraft II
And Virtual viewing of the biggest Blizzard event which gives you access to more viewing information than if you were there in person (Sure being there in person is better, but if all you care about is information, virtual viewing is better.)
Its not just for the WoW mount. Its for A LOT more, shit.
Why are you angry at me because I find the mounts to be crude and ugly?
