    I feel like people forget more and more that games are about playing and not "having". I get it, it's cool to have things in games, but it shouldn't be the one purpose. We get more and more crap to collect every year. Ppl just buy the stuff now, rather than play for it. There should be another word for this instead of "game". Fancy digital store, I don't know.

    I have almost 700 mounts. 1750ish pets. Titles, toys, xmogs. I have almost everything on the shop, so clearly I'm not anti shop. But guys, this is insane, do we really need more?

Nobody is twisting their arm or holding a gun to their head.
    They add no advantage but they take all the cool stuff that should be in game and add it in the store. Just like they did in WOD where all the expansion theme mounts like fey dragon, grinning reaver, etc were added in the store and in game we got a ton of fcking recolored pigs.

    no they dont...
    if those items werent made for the shop they wouldnt be made AT ALL, they simply wouldnt exist, so its not "shop or ingame", its "shop or NOTHING"...
    think about BFA, for all faults it had it had some amazing mounts, crab, the mechanical mounts from mechagon, the serpents, frogs, elemental from jaina... all those despite the shop, and thats just from the top of my head...
    what cool mount we got on shop in bfa? the sylverian dragon maybe, i dont like that one personaly but its only one "cool" added at the time

    Fey Dragon, Grinning Reaver and some other mounts could have easily been added as rewards in the game because they already existed in the game as flight path mount but no they were added in the shop and we got a ton of reused mounts instead. Wake up people and stop defending this bullshit practice. It is the reason why now we have games like Diablo Immortal.

If you have FOMO problems, SEEK HELP. It is literally said in my signature if you bothered to read that far.
    Yeah, "Seek help", wink wink. Just admit you don't give a shit about predatory practices - or worse, it's okay when daddy Blizzard does it - and remove your signature entirely.

    What is it with corpo cock sucking lately?

    Dystopian levels of clownery.

    god please no, can you imagine opening of the floodgates of toxicity that would come without sub? jeez... all the forum morons and trolls that are here are nice "taste" of how it would look in any f2p model
    GW2 has no sub and the community is 1000 times better than WoW.
    I will tell you what is toxic. Being toxic is not liking Dark Rangers or Tinkers and militating for Blizzard to never deploy those classes because some ppls don't want to play them. Being toxic is campaigning for Blizzard to never put more detailed, prettier xmogs in the store because you don't want to buy them. That's pretty toxic. And let's talk about the lack of logic in this way of being: Blizzard can launch 50 more mounts in the store and no one would say anything... but blizzard can't launch any more xmogs because the kids were offended. lulzzzz....

    right, sure, the flying mount and FP "mount" surely are the same, no aditional details to the model, no other animation, no work at all required... not to mention its more likely the OTHER WAY AROUND - they had assets for shop mounts so they used it ingame...

    if you expect revenue you invest more funds, simple as that, investing into something that will not result in any revenue is sure way to drive your company to the ground sooner or later... yes, it would take a long time for big company as blizz, but they are not charity, their main goal is, and always was, same as for EVERY company, profit...
    this "bullshit practice" is called capitalism, look it up, its covered in elementary school education...

    btw mentioning diablo immortal in this conversation is about as much on point as mentioning Beckham in conversation about tour de france... shows your goal is not actual discusion, but rather hating on blizz... you dont need me for that you can do it on your own, and if not there are plenty likeminded trolls

    Just like the various mounts in the store.... only buy whoever you want.
    We'll see what happens there's a very very very good chance that the World of Warcraft subscription is going to be incorporated to game pass ultimate. Still have to buy the Box price of the newest expansion but you'll have access to wow's previous stuff with game pass ultimate.

    Microsoft isn't stupid and they want subscriptions so kindly forcing everybody into gamepass to play World of Warcraft is an ingenious move. I'm sure they might piss off a few people but it won't be enough to matter.

    Why would it? Is game pass more?

    I've gotten so many games via freebies off epic and humble bundle I've only recently found out how much a game goes for.

    In my mind the cap was still 40-50$ for triple A.

    Actually gamepass is less monthly than WoW so it will be their advertising hook, it sells itself at that point.

    I don't think anyone has an issue with transmogs in the store...it's more that they're putting transmogs, mounts, and character boosts in a store with a 15/mo subscription when they can't even be bothered to follow a consistent update schedule. We pay monthly for a game on obvious life support.

    When or if WoW goes F2P, Blizzard, put all the transmog sets you want in the store. Until then, fuck off until you give us some actual gameplay content.

    lol... SL had fucked up pacing for sure, but 9.2 alone gave more content than some games get over their lifetime... hell despite having only 2 major patches SL got more patch content than wrath, which was the "peak" of the game... life support my ass...

    but there is easy solution if you dont think the content is enough for sub price - unsub

    People whinge about this. Then buy a horse armor for skyrim because Bethesda is so good. The irony is astounding.

    Anything that is available in store should also be available through playing the game.
