They are adding more stuff to the Blizz store?? Transmog gear?? Come on now....
Are they actually trying to kill the game off?
I'm calling F2P by chrismas.

Honestly, you didn't see this coming once they started introducing mounts to the store? The game died a long time ago. I don't see F2P anytime soon, if ever, Bob Kotick likes cheeseburgers WAY too much to not have them funded and in steady supply. I call P2W WAYYYYYY before F2P.
Unless the number of subs drops bellow 1.5 million I don't see it happening.
Remember, WoW has already made the money back from development, they only need cash for customer support, servers and future development, while most new MMO's also have the production cost to cover.
I wouldn't be shocked if WoW could still make a profit with just 1 million subs.
OOOOOHHHHHHH I see what you did, you added dollar signs to the name of a company, how clever! You sure are a clever one!
Btw, the company is called BliZZard, not BliSSard, so it doesn't really work but I'm sure a clever boy like you knew that already.
Before making a retarded unnecessary post, the Cash shop is for Asia, not for EU/US.
Keep it civil and constructive

I don't have a problem with this so long as it's just transmog gear. The day the game slips into 'pay to win' territory however, is when I'll unsub.
He always makes these, has to get some form of attention to be reminded that he exists.
It's been known since they were released that these items would be in the blizzard store, there's also a tab for these types of items that has existed since 5.2 when they were added in the game files. None of this should be a surprise to anyone, microtransactions in the form of an in-game store are coming soon with asia being the usual testing grounds for this, but it'll most likely go through.
Inb4 the only good looking gear is from the shop with everything else being terrible.
So, they're selling ugly ass helms to go with the ugly ass mounts. Not seeing the issue.
WoW 2013, what did you expect, honestly? the tier sets are ridcilously ugly and the cool looking stuff is sold in the shop hahahaha $.$
By that argument we should have seen F2P a year ago, given the number of mounts/pet already on the store.
Utter rubbish people keep spewing out.
An in-game interface for the store was inevitable anyway given the browser for support features.
And why not, when it actually skips some tedious parts of the mount/pets purchase process.
Namely the realm selection and the need to enter a code.
And why not follow the battle pets example, with an extra link on the tooltip which much like the Pet Journal would display an in-game UI for the store items, showing you a 3d model and having a description to go along with it.
A ctrl-click preview of mounts/pets is long overdue anyway.
