    New feature idea: purchasable seals!

    Just want to hear everyone's thoughts on the idea of being able to purchase seals at the shop.

    Let's say 3 seals for a token....Make it expensive enough to not be 'pay2win' but also not too expensive or not worth it to even implement it.

    Kinda hate it when I'm trying to gear up an alt and I'm out of loot lockout for the week, no more seals, etc. It's like there's nothing to do. I would totally buy 3 for a token and farm for a trinket for example or that tier that I'm missing...

    No. The end.
    Alt-reich/Trumpism is a disease and it needs to be purged from the world.

    No. The better argument is to implement better catchup mechanics for alts.

    If it is present and can be used on difficulties above LFR, it will be used as P2W and shouldn't exist.

    I'd like it if some sort of currency returned instead. I was thinking, they should add a currency that you are guaranteed to get from bonus rolls, provided that you don't earn an item. They could then have loot that drops at a vendor so if you are getting really unlucky for a long time with a certain piece of loot and your bonus rolls keep just giving you the currency, at least that way you could eventually get the item you need from the vendor using the bonus roll dropped currency.

    No, that is just no. You can already purchase 3 seals from a vendor, then with an additional chance of obtaining some from the building on the Broken Shore. As well, no. It would be P2W if Blizzard supplied you with additional chances to get loot for money.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    When it feels like there's nothing to do, you can always do this: log off and play something else.

    I have a better idea, every failed seal roll give you another currency, you can use 3x that currency to create a new seal.

    Current catchup mechanics aren't enough? It's so easy to catch up with an alt right now, and will be easier in BfA since there won't be any legiondaries to farm.

    More so saying that the OP's argument that P2W tokens would be a good catchup mechanic is poorly conceived, as there are plenty of other catchup mechanics that could be implemented without also breaking the top end of the gear spectrum. We realistically don't need more catchup mechanics at all, but if the OP is going to argue for one they might as well pick one that isn't a terrible idea.
