I already quit retail like 5 'lows' ago.
Anyway...
It would be very sad checking people armory sites and seeing 0,01% drop chance from lootbox items on them...
and then imagining how much they probably had to pay for these pixels...
holy shit...

I wouldn't like paid RNG to be introduced in the game, after there is already so much RNG in the game, but I wouldn't stop playing over it.
I would quit immediatly. Transmog is to important to me. I don't want to pay more then i am allready paying.
The only games where such lootboxes don't bother me are games like LoL/TFT/DoTa/Overwatch. Where you do not have real connection to the character you are playing. The moment the make a paywall before accessing the best transmog would kill everything unique about the game.
Also: The BEST looking armor sets will have no prestige to them. And yes the would make the best armor sets for this. Look at the fey dragon.
I wouldn't care as long as the loot in the boxes did not lower the quality of the loot (visually) in the main game as it has done in other games ie only the cool looking stuff is available in them which I think is bullshit.
They have already kinda done this with mounts but they have gotten this stigma around them which help.
Black market boxes are practically loot boxes since you can buy gold with real life money.
Making lootboxes a toxic word for marketing is one of the few cases were internet outrage made the world better. I don't think we will ever have to worry about that.
And not playing any game that has them has improved my bullshit to fun ratio while gaming by quite a bit.

Do I still enjoy the game? Idc...
Lootboxes have worked in my favor and never buy myself.

Would definitely stop playing. They'd make regular stuff look worse or simply boring to make you pay for cosmetics. Basic shitty business practice.
Depends on details. You can already buy BoE items on AH or you can buy mythic raid and keep whatever dropped.
Na sorry. The amount of gold you need for a specific good piece of armor would cost you hundreds of € or $... i don't think there actually are many poeple who do this.
Technically you are correct. Which is the best kind of correct. But it is not the "real" lootbox. Also, they are limited. There are always just a set amount of items in the BMAH.
Pretty much this, almost all cosmetics lost all sense of value since account-bound rewards allowing “infinite” rolls and since they introduced the token. This is one of the main reasons I don’t play the game anymore as the game which is heavily collectible oriented these days is p2w. I know buying gold and getting boosted always existed but now you don’t even break ToS and blizzard was perfectly aware of that. So they could implement paid loot boxes if they wanted it, it wouldn’t hurt the game that much as this side is completely fubar
