"Pay to win"

[anon5123]

Getting a single character to level 58 is not "winning" WoW.

That is all.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

"But it's ruining my ability to win by selling boosts!" <.s>

It's a p2w feature that anyone who wants to be competitive on alliance shaman or horde paladin will have to use, for sure.

[Maikikan]

They specifically said that they wouldn't have that option available for for shaman or paladin for either faction :S

Horde will have to level paladin the old fashioned way while alliance will have to level a shaman in the same way too.

[Ladey Gags]

Who the fuck cares if it falls under your semantic definition of pay to win? It’s the fucking principle. Why the FUCK are you defending ANY amount of microtransaction practices? PLEASE tell me WHY you defend capitalist GREED? Do you not want video games to be what they used to be? Do you WANT to be fucked in the ass by greedy Bobby koticks? What the fuck?

It’s like I’ve woken up in a fucking alternate reality where people are actually defending microtransactions. What the hell happened to you people?

Literally cannot use it on draenei or belf.

Why is it that everyone whining about this literally hasn't even read how it works?

REEEE REEE ANY MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE BAD REEEE

Calm your tits.

The point I'm making is that everyone is crying about a single one-time character boost being "PAY TO WIN REEEEE".....leveling to 58 is not "winning" WoW. It literally just lets you skip ~2 weeks of leveling for ONE character. And people are acting like it's the end of the world (of warcraft) and TBC is ruined because of it.

You're not gaining any special advantage over other players. You're just paying to skip half the leveling process for one(1) character. This is not "winning". This is not "pay2win".

Even if Blizzard didn't offer this, people would still be boosting characters, just by paying for dungeon boosts instead of paying Blizzard, so nothing really changed.

You’re absolutely clueless. YES dude ANY micro transactions are bad. How far you have fallen to defend this shit. ITS BLATANT CAPITALIST GREED JESUS CHRIST WHY DO U DEFEND THE NORMALIZATION OF THIS SHIT?

Ah yes a one time level 58 paid boost going into an expansion has got to be the worst kind of capitalist greed I've ever seen. Lmao go outside take in some fresh air, please. There are greedy toxic microtransaction and then there is this, it's not even in the same ball park.

P.S.
Please save me the reply on your principle stand on microtransaction/capitalism and how allowing even something small snowballs blah blah blah.

Good fucking God

Anyway, nothing about WoW has ever been pay to win. But that won’t stop someone from screaming about it every time they sell a new mount. Or offer a benign transfer service.

Blah blah blah yes because it’s TRUE. And you KNOW it. But you’re so despicably attached to this VIDEO GAME that you can’t bear the cognitive dissonance so you’ve begun to side with the enemy. Fucking nauseating

While I understand you're point of view... you're getting quite worked up over it.

It's a one-time purchase for one character, in a limited scope, related solely to removing a time-barrier for one game.

Do you not purchase expansions?

They are a one-time purchase for one game license that provide a limited amount of content solely related to one game.

Lmao I can't tell if this is a troll or you're serious, I find it funny either way, actually it might be funnier not knowing. I'm glad you decided to reply.

[Selky]

You people used this argument with retail and look what happened. Any change that allows a player to gain an in-game advantage through money is unacceptable. Doesn't matter how much you move the goalposts.

[sephrinx]

It's certainly going to fuck up the economy in a lot of big ways.

One per account? As if people only have 1 account these days, and it's only incentive for them to have more.

Ahh who am I kidding, as if the economy could get any more fucked than it already is lmao

Of course I’m getting fuckingworked up over it. I have a fucking right to express my anger that every aspect of our lives are becoming hyper-minmaxed for profit with predatory microtransaction practices and bullshit. My question is why the FUCK aren’t more people this angry? Why the FUCK don’t people express their fucking anger anymore? It’s fucking baffling what the world is fuckijg turning to and people are taken aback when people SUDDENLY show a little bit of fucking human PASSION?

The guy your replying to is obviously wrong, but need I remind you of the last tier in BfA? How much real money was duped into tokens to get BoE for world first race? Theres a legitimate argument there.
