It's also disingenuous as fuck, a strawman, and why don't you just claim people against the WoW token's existence want to murder puppies?
There's a distinct difference between a company making money because they're making a good, fun, engaging, and rewarding game - and a company that makes money by doing everything it can to squeeze money from its players like squeezing water from a stone.
"But Blizzard is making a good game!"
Sure.
It doesn't bother me that people dislike the WoW token. It bothers me that people frame the WoW token as some kind of proof that Blizzard is the ultimate evil then use its existence to write off literally fucking anything the devs do or do not do.
"Blizzard doesn't want to buff SPriests because they'd rather you buy a boost for {insert FotM here} instead."
"Blizzard won't nerf {insert FotM here} because they want to sell boosts for people rerolling."
"Blizzard made the content too difficult because they just want you to buy tokens for boosts."
"Blizzard made the content too easy so more players get boosted."
...and any number of other nonsensical, completely contradictory claims as long as you can blame the token. It's frustrating and serves as a detour from legitimate criticism of the game. Instead of focusing on its many issues we leave the argument at "multi dollar company operates in a fashion which maximizes profits" throw our hands in the air and pretend that this surface level rebuke is enough for the devs to enact any meaningful change.
