Comments like this scream "agree with all of my opinions or you are a bad person". I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and people who are unable to take advantage of the offer are simply throwing a tantrum. Your logic is so horribly flawed that I won't even address the "they making game bad on purpose" claim.
No, I don't feel targeted! Come on, both me and you can take it!
And yes, I do know what you mean! It is different, it's probably in most cases not even meant as "I hate you" either in game, but more like "te he dirtbagging you a bit"
And no, I didn't mean to target you with the micro thingy in the end, it was just fitting in my world, thats all :P
/kkkkkkkkkrrrrrrkkkkkrrrrrr splosh
(Of course I do, Thage, come on!)

No, if leveling is such a bad experience and you can not play with your friends because you have to level - WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAY 50 BUCKS TO SKIP SHIT CONTENT? It's obvious because they are making more moneys this way. This doesn't improve the game in any way or form.
Aka "They are making the game intentionally bad so you spend more moneys." But some guys are blind and don't realize such easy marketing tricks, this is why they can get away with it.
It's called greed. It's called destroying a community by unneccesary monetization. Blizzard is dead, Activision killed it, the original creators left. And everyone that condones this, or worse, buys these stupid mounts is to blame. They deserve all the hate they get because it is destroying the company.
Being harassed for any and potentially EVERY decision you make in life in any given amount is part of life and is not a problem. Thinking it is and complaining about it, wanting a life free from any type of negativity is part of the problem imo.
Companies, especially ones like blizzard, are primarily concerned with making money, bar none. Fact.
People's buying habits, therefore, will impact how a game is developed. Fact.
Certain views and desires are not compatible with certain spending habits. Fact.
Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable, if you're someone in that less-profitable group that will be shunned at the expense of the more-profitable group, that you fight in every way possible, in whatever capacity you feel fit, to combat that reality and attempt to adjust it in your favor.
Just ignore it if you dislike it... You know... Like you're telling the other disgruntled people to do. At least your outcome won't actually be impacted in any meaningful and non-ignorable way, unlike the haters of the mtx buyers.
I would have a larger issue with this whole situation if they were trying to massively take advantage of the playerbase. They're only allowing 1 boost per account, they said that and stuck to it instead of seeing how much money they made the first few days of the boost and just opening the boost up to unlimited per account. And the pricing isn't even egregious. The deluxe edition comes with 2 mounts, one for classic and retail, two toys, the boost, and a month of game time. If you were to calculate what these would cost individually based on blizzards own pricing structure: $25 per mount, $10 per toy, $60 boost, and $15 for a month of game time, totaling $145. I have absolutely no problem with the deluxe edition or the boost, to be frank the leveling experience is left in vanilla, it's not part of the Burning Crusade experience.
reading all this nonsense here kinda makes me wanna buy the mount. it looks like a perfect deterrant for people i never want to play with anyway.
stay mad classic community. theres a reason youre not taken seriously anywhere else.
EDIT: with how much people here hate blizzard and the monetization, i wonder why they keep supporting those bad decisions with their hard earned sub money. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Classic failed too buddy, without microtransactions lol. There were only a handful of populated servers going into T2 You need to realize that monetization is what keeps the game alive at all, classic or retail, as I already stated, it didn't have egregious pricing to manipulate the players, it wasn't a mandatory max level power increase, it was optional. If the game doesn't make money, the game won't exist, and the small Classic playerbase isn't enough to justify to investors as to why the game should continue getting resources.
I'm curious, can someone that supports these micro-transactions deem where they draw the line?
For me, buying a level boost is as much of an advantage as buying CE or glad is, as at the end of the day you're paying to skip time and effort; And I genuinely believe that the average person can achieve Gladiator in less time /played than level 60 in classic/TBC if they actually want it.
What would be the line? Is there one? I don't even see buying gear as 'worse' than buying levels tbh.

Except we're not talking about real life lol. We're talking about a video game that every single person agrees to a ToS upon entering. Part of that ToS is that Blizzard holds the sole right to ban you for whatever they deem fit without ever having to justify themselves to you as to why. Blizzard outright says that Harassment is against terms of use and they do ban for it. Hence nobody deserves to be harassed.
OK, so you are being intentionally obtuse then and are set on disingenuously asserting that the communities are the same. If you were part of either community and were actively participating in online discussions rather than sealioning you would get a general feel as to what each group wants and is OK with. What is the reaction on the forums when new monetization is added? What about prominent content creators? To what degree does Blizzard push monetization on either ecosystem? If you participated in discussions you would understand a general trend, though we obviously don't have the ability to do some multi-thousand participant random sampling of the playerbase, and your assertion that we somehow cannot figure out what the community wants without it is blatantly stupid.
