Ya know, just the other day I was thinking “gosh I wish WoW had more micro transactions”
I’m gonna go against the grain here a little bit.
I’ve never been particularly bothered by WoW’s approach to microtransactions. It’s all cosmetics and transfer/name/race change services.
I understand the fear that even cosmetic transactions can drive game design decisions, but I just don’t think it’s that bad with WoW. It has certainly never been pay to win, and has never even really been pay for convenience.
If someone wants to spend $20 on a meaningless mount I’m not really sure I care.
Generally agreed, but I think the non-cosmetic services are too expensive.
Some people also argue that the shops gets the best looking mounts, but there are just so many available directly in-game, that it never bothered me.
No one who knows Blizz didn’t expect this to happen but it’s a shame if it does all the same.
I’m annoyed because WoW wants to triple-dip.
You really should either charge for content (expansions), or a subscription or load it up with shitty MTX options.
These guys are doing all 3, and the content kinda sucks on top of it.
I don’t mind paying for the occasional cosmetic or battle pass or whatever in otherwise free games, but seriously, pick a lane, my dudes.
