[Lolsteak]

Some good news, Their obnoxious spam didn't win them any supporters among anyone I know.

Stop deluding yourself.

No matter what system there is, it will always be abused to gain and keep power. The difference between capitalism and communism is that the average person has pretty much ZERO chance to become mega-rich in a communist system, but capitalism gives a chance.

I love how people act like capitalism and communism are the only economies in existence. It's as if they just forget about democratic socialism. As for your other point, no. Capitalism only gives people a chance if they come from a rich family. There isn't a single multi-millionaire or billionaire that started from nothing with no help. Becoming that rich requires you to exploit the system, exploit workers, and have someone that is willing to throw you a massive amount of cash when you're in trouble. Capitalism really is no better than communism in a lot of ways.

Gallywix didn't become Trade Prince by not profiting through underhanded means, you know.

Wait, this is real!?

I haven't had any issues with their spam, none of it gets through. You're in control of your chat frame, don't blame others for your shortcomings.

Assuming that that wouldn't happen in communism..

not trying to defend comunism,but...no it wouldnt,because that NOT happening is fundamental to comunism as a system

IDK man, you think someone earning more money than others is worse than a system that time and time again ended with executing tens of millions of their own people?

thats a strawman,we are talking about financial systems here,also its arguable if capitalism has led to more deaths

[apustus]

Shame, could've used a bit more money before Shadowlands. Too bad our guild only applied/got accepted in this tier.

[deenman]

So...that's why that is exactly what happened in the USSR and China. What you're completely missing is the fact that you're talking about idealistic delusions of communism. It will never happen when it is run by humans. Capitalism would be perfectly fine too if only benevolent leaders were in charge. There is no such thing.

Anyone who thinks socialism is the greatest thing ever should go ahead and move to Venezuela. They certainly don't have any spoiled rich people who care nothing for the poor majority. Oh wait...

"¡Viva la Revolución!"

you are arguing against something i didnt even argue for lol

also a society cant function without socialism,unless you wanna put out your own fires and build your own roads,you need to stop getting your news only from fox

[Topornic]

if you see the spam and don't use CC_Cleaner/Badboy then its your own fault.

Can you imagine a new player entering Orgrimmar for his first time and seeing only boosting communities spam?
Not everyone in this game knows how to get addons and properly use them.
This is detrimental to the game and a scourge of trade chat and lfg tool.

You completely missed where I mentioned socialism before. Also, your comment about no one coming from nothing with no help is completely false. I'm not going to waste my time trying to educate you because you already have your busted world view locked into place like the flat-earthers do. Continue living in your delusional world of lies. It really only hurts you. It isn't going to change anything.

You're a temporarily embarrassed millionaire so you really don't need to lick their boots. Name ONE person in the USA that is a multi-millionaire or billionaire that came from nothing and had zero financial help. Just one. I'll wait.

[goldlock]

I now feel less secure with my 12million gold...

I did nothing wrong!

Ah yes. the venezuela defense that completely ignores that Venezuela is currently in its state due to USA interference with trying to stage a coup with one of the leaders of the country. So predictable.

They should start banning multiboxers as well(with an investigation ofcourse). I mean you might have 2-3 account but when it comes to 5x + accounts, it's obvious that they want to flood market with tons of boe,mounts,herbs etc. then they start ruining auction house. Blizzard needs to make a full investigation on those guys as well, possibly most of them selling golds, maybe some of them even botting. Boosting is easy because content is easy ,so a lot of people are doing it and possibly they are selling gold for real money too.
So Blizzard can make content harder like you need everybody's effort in a dungeon/raid so less people do it and it will narrow down a huge amount of wow population for an easier inspection. Also a player shouldn't able to connect Blizzard servers with more than 5x accounts or they should define a number for it for fixing this multiboxing nonsense.

They are. I've received in-game mail from Customer Support that my reports led to action being taken against several accounts (yes, they do this to let you know that your reports aren't going completely unheard) as recently as last week (4 seperate messages). They do this in Overwatch too, so just keep reporting and something will happen.

[deenman]

That's not socialism.

correct,its democratic socialism

I mean closing the communities isn't going to stop that if anything it will increase the spam. The blizz token made boosting a market its here to stay.

Are you actually retarded*, or are you just playing a character on the Internet? I'm not talking about Venezuela's destabilization. I'm talking about their filthy-rich elite who shit all over the poor.

*worth the ban

you mean like they do in the USA? Venezuela's problems literally have nothing to do with socialism. Stop learning your facts from Fox News and Breitbart.

[TheRevenantHero]

Name one king who became king without any peasants. Your premise is complete nonsense. I don't think you even have any idea what you're trying to prove.

Plenty of people have come from absolutely nothing and become multi-billionaires without some secret help from whatever Illuminati/Skull-and-Bones organization you're imagining.

Are you going to suggest that J.K. Rowling didn't become rich without the Queen's blessing?

That is the dumbest straw man I've ever seen. Talking about royalty is literally irrelevant.

J.K. Rowling made a good chunk of her money by royally fucking over other people once she made it big. Which just further proves my point. Jeff Bezos? Got there by exploiting workers, using loopholes to never pay taxes, and had rich parents that gave him money when his business was floundering. Bill Gates? similar scenario, actually.

So really....nobody becomes that rich without being a shady piece of shit.

[TheRevenantHero]

I don't watch Fox News, and I don't know what a Breitbart is. You're also wrong. Venezuela's problems have everything to do with socialism. Socialism doesn't solve anything. That's the point.

The fact that you know what a Breitbart is pretty much removes your credibility. Stop watching TV and letting others tell you what to think. Think for yourself.

I'm beginning to think you never passed middle school. You're one of those people that hears socialism and insults it despite not having any idea what it is. The fact that you said taxes paying for public works just proves how incredibly ignorant you are. Everything you're saying has literally been garbage that's spewed by Fox News frequently.

Nice way to move the goalposts. We're done here.

Didn't move the goalposts at all. I simply pointed out the flaw in your argument. You're just mad that I managed to show how ignorant you are.

And blizzard are in control of their game, Goodbye Gallywix.

Why are people arguing economic systems in this thread?

[Cavox]

Some people don't seem to understand that ever since WoW tokens became a thing gold = real money (with a little bit of laundering). Sure, it combated gold sellers, but as a side-effect it made gold something you can buy for $$$ directly from Blizzard.
Now considering you can buy raid-tier BoE items, consumables and services from boosting guilds one could (should) say that WoW is pay-2-win.
What I'm trying to say is that WoW token is ruining not only the game's economy, but also the game itself. While I'm at it I still can't believe Activision-Blizzard has the audacity to implement a cosmetic cash shop after taking money for the base game (and expansions) AND a subscription.
Absolutely disgusting.
