I don't seem to understand it when people on the forums try to explain that selling a level 90 is a bad thing. How is it anyway? Think about this. The game has 5 expansions, 6 stages of content to level through on WoD, and that can be quite intimidating to a new player. Furthermore how is this "pay-to-win"? You still have to complete current content. And if you were dumb enough to skip the learning process of the game you'll have to just keep yourself stuck in "tourist mode" as blizzard is calling it now. Selling armor seems to be a worry but NO MMO currently on the market is doing it. And besides they removed the D3 AH why bring back the "pay-to-win"? Especially for a subscription MMO.
Bottom line: Why is a free 90 a bad thing? Why are you all freaking out about it? I want to explore this as a specific topic. Since just talking about it in a separate thread will devolve away from my main question. Is all of this just a shock to the system and people are just scared?
