What does WoW's monthly fee pay for? Servers? Yes of course. Maintenance? Yes of course. Constant flow of new content? Yes of course. So why after almost nine years am I forced to pay more real currency on top of the monthly fee I am already paying just to get a new item I like?
Pick your poison Blizzard. Either charge people a monthly fee for the things I listed above or change the model to F2P with microtransactions.
Fucking BS then add all thise things. So they added The sad man Invinsible. AND they will not add all the great looking items to transmaq items to the in game store. Fucking nice blizzard, If we pay a fee each mouth, we should be able to earn all the items you just OUR money on
Ahahah!
Sorry, but seriously, the only one who has no idea here it's you.
Did you ever actually open one of the Activision Blizzard semester reports? Do you know how pityful is the cost of server maintenance and support team compared to the volume of incomes provided by their players? Do you have any idea how big is GW2? You know that in US and EU it sold just little less copies than MoP? Do you know how many server they manage and how many people work on new content?
No, you have really no idea. What strikes me, is how you lecture people about their lack of knowledge. Truly fantastic...
What would worry me the most is that if the New Character models will be seperate buyable. Imagine that something we've been waiting for years to get the message if u want the new char models u will have to pay extra!
Why?
Who let the dog's out?! Whooo!!!
Read it again, would you?
Is there another way to get that item he likes? There isn't, therefor he is forced to pay if he wants that item.So why after almost nine years am I forced to pay more real currency on top of the monthly fee I am already paying just to get a new item I like?

It's not about the money. It's about them being there in the first place. It's already shown with pets/mounts on the shop compared with ones in game. In the shop you have a golden winged sparkling flying heart of the aspect mount. In game you have a reworked gryphon. In the shop you have a unique mini elemental lord that can be used as a campfire or a ancient sapling that changes colour/ appearance to match the season. In game you have tito...
This is the reward for collecting all the raid pets.
this is an ingame pet shop item.

salt in the wound when the armor this xpac is so ugly to begin with.
id LOVE a reason not to mog my gear. havent seen one yet.
The way this announcement is worded, I can tell they're doing their very best to sugarcoat the whole thing. Awful stuff.
A subscription and a (growing, evidently) cash shop. Blizzard thinks they can have their cake and eat it too. Cancelled my subscription.
Those look pretty sweet, will prolly get some for my buddys as surprises

WoW: 2006-2020 || EvE: 2013-2020 // 2023- || FFXIV: 2020- || Lost Ark: 2022-
OMG YES! YES ! TRANGSMOG FOREVER I CANT WAIT WE NEED MORE STUFF LIKE THIS! YES!
Will buy all of them as a surprise for my buddys :
And at all those haters: No one forces you to buy it, stop QQ please
There are many items in the store that I like, however I choose not to pay for them because I feel that pixels are not worth real money no matter how pretty they look.
Definition of 'Force':
to make something happen or make someone do something difficult, unpleasant, or unusual, especially by threatening or not offering the possibility of choice.
Sooo, why are we still supposed to be paying monthly subs when this doesn't cover all content? I know servers have costs too, but that's not 10 euros per person per month...
WoW should just drop subscription already and embrace the "buy the game/expansions and then enjoy the cashshop" already.
Paying subscribers have more say to this than those that are paying nothing in F2P games. Im not too addicted to walk away when I feel a game is no longer supporting me as a subscriber ... but instead are adding features that I dont like to see in a subscription based game.
Blizzard is not just triple dipping now. The stuck their tongue into the dip bowl and licked it.
This is not a human tongue btw
