You sound like a person who likes to use analogies to justify their poor financial decisions.
Be careful for what you wish because it might have already happened and ruined the game. You've seen what's happened to WoW's population right?But at the end of the day - if you don't like it, don't buy it.
You call it harassing while I call it protesting.But stop wrapping cyber bullying with "Blizzard is so evil and the Item Shop destroys my gaming fun QQ". Because all you do is harrassing people who most times don't even know why, because surprise surprise most people don't even know what people on mmo-champion think about evil evil shop mounts.
My plans are to see TBC completely and then unsub. I don't plan to get into WOTLK. Blizzards way of handling classic TBC has left a very bad impression for me. I didn't play Classic Vanilla because I already had on private servers, but since they released TBC I thought why not try Blizzards version. That was a mistake on my end but I will see TBC through completion. I'm pretty sure by WOTLK they'll have the stupid token so better not to go into WOTLK.
Nobody likes them and it's pretty universally hated. That's why Final Fantasy Online won't last because they too have mounts.
It's because people like me would /spit on anyone with a store mount. You don't see this removed on Shadowlands for this reason. No amount of affirmative action is going to get Blizzard out of the California lawsuit.
We talking about the court of public opinion because nothing Blizzard does will make people like them? Unless they either fire Bobby Kotick or buy themselves back from Activision nobody will ever like Blizzard ever again.And they are right.. because woke corporate performative activism has worked to cover way more horrendous actions of other multinational billion dollar companies.. so why not work for blizz..
