The Trading Post - May 2023 Rewards Preview

[Relapses]

It's just a fodder, look at this months rewards, it's all just old reskins that have been laying around in the files for years.

Okay, and? It's still free shit for just having a subscription. I don't know why people complain about it. Like, don't use it then? Is it that hard to say no?

I wonder the same thing. Blizzard isn't exactly holding a gun to anyone's head or threatening the families of anyone who doesn't acquire everything all at once. That's 100% a willpower and self-control issue there.

[Oneirophobia]

Because it incentivizes staying subbed and playing the game

Well yes, but isn't the game supposed to be doing that? Actually that is a dumb thing for me to say, the trading post is part of the game, ergo the game is doing that.

If it was just $$ they’d lose more player goodwill

See, you understand my suspicions! I am doing my best to be receptive, so far they are doing an okay job at my goodwill. You better grind that rep blizz, I ain't got no Darkmoon faire buff for you.

They're still a completely free item that requires very little in-game work to attain. This month's rewards are, I'll admit, a bit lackluster, but they're a bonus. The benefit of a free bonus activity like this is that you can COMPLETELY ignore them if you're not interested. The absolute worst case scenario is you passively attain more of the currency for the next time the awards are interesting to you.

That's worst case. When the worst case is "I can completely ignore it now and still benefit later" things are pretty durn good.

I'm pretty sure we're the same person

There are truly people who cannot be 'pleased' because they get enjoyment from outrage.
I'm in no way saying anyone upset about something falls into that category, but when it comes to the trading post haters, I think the majority do.

[Makorus]

The whole point of the Trading Post was to add recolours???????????

I dont know what people are expecting?

no shit Sherlock ? A company wants you to use its product ? That some EVIL shit right there...

[thunderdragon2]

im glad there isnt really anything for me this month i can finally open my frozen slot

[loras]

You mean the random free tendies they added out of nowhere for no additional cost that is used for other free, randomly added stuff?

I'm still extremely suspicious of the whole Trading Post in general, I can't fathom why they wouldn't put all this in the blizz store and make tendies a premium currency you have buy with real money (and conveniently not purchasable with blizz funds/WoW gold). But for now, pipe down, this shits great.

This.
Though by-the-by what is that sword a recolor of?

Well, Blizzard has already said it's OK to skip items and use currency for later months. But, I don't really even think they needed to tell us that. Obvious decision for obvious reasons.

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all people all of the time. Don't feel compelled to spend ANYTHING. Spend it when you want on what you want. Isn't that called budgeting?

Also this.
Honestly this month looks way better than last month, but i'm probably still gonna end up with yet more tendies in the pocket.

[Nerph-]

Liking the mount, pet and white cloak. I have a lot of tendies saved up so will be nice to spend a bit.

Did you read the post I was responding to? I’d wager no.

[The Stormbringer]

Cool turtle and cool pet! I'm sure there's plenty of people interested in the other stuff. The white cloak, for example. Finding a pure white cloak is hard...

[Weeps]

What other model shares the same "skin" as the Fang of the Mountain?

Fang of the Earth, from Kromog in Blackrock Foundry.

[Eapoe]

I’m just waiting to see if they have armor sets in the work for the cape/hooded cloak appearances. They have them titled with ‘ensemble’ in it, so I’m hoping they have more pieces to accompany them. I’m a little upset I missed out on the purple one, as I feel there’s a Green Goblin tmog to be made from it.
Not too big on this months items.

[Utrrabbit]

I love the audacity of charging us 400 tenders for a 8 year old recolor item

I love how you complain about easy shit you can afk for.

Typical MMO whining brats.

[googz]

Gotta love when people complain about things they don't have to participate in nor do you have to put forth any extra effort to achieve.

How dare they give away basically free stuffs! So stupid.

[maulgryve]

I thought I read on here like a week ago that there was going to be a green scorpion mount as the bonus.
