Called it.
I really don't see why people are freaking out over this much like the Wow Token you don't have to buy this. You can continue to complete the Trading Post in the exact same way you always have been. This is for those people who want to pay to get more cosmetics out of the Trading Post. At the end of the day the trading post is just that cosmetics so who cares if you can now use real money to get more out of it than before? Let people do what they want. If you want to keeping earning the tender the normal way go right ahead, if you want to buy a little extra just to get an extra transmog set or two perhaps a battle pet then more power to you. People that say this will ruin the trading post are blowing this way out of proportion and are exaggerating. I for one am going to continue to do the trading post and continue to love it for the awesome feature that it is and if there are some cool rewards during a certain month that I want then yeah I might pay a little extra for the needed tender to get them. It's literally just an option for those that want those cosmetics and don't mind paying a bit more just like the Wow Token for Game Time and Gold. That's all it is. Jesus the negativity in this community is insane.
Just when I was starting to have a little more faith in Blizzard, too...though, like everyone else, I saw this coming. I shouldn't have had that small modicum of hope that Blizz would have seen how negatively we've spoken about this and became better than to do such a #$%^ty thing. Why do all the games I end up really enjoying turn out to have @#$%ty devs that can't just LISTEN? Like, come on man..Stop being greedy. It'll give you a way better image if you guys just simply allow us more tender by default each month. The amount we currently have is WAY too low, but making us spend money just to get something more than a mount..? Absolutely not, Blizz. I think it would be an amazing idea to use the excess points from quests as extra tender you can earn once you complete the big monthly reward instead of this pay to win crap!
Well, that didn't take long to screw up the Trading Post... I mean, we all saw it coming, but hope lives eternal...sigh
The real reason they added this in the first place is finally revealed
Well jokeās on them because they havenāt released anything I would pay real money for yet. I am swimming the stuff because I have bought anything.
*PIkachu gasp*Since the announcement of the Trading Post way back when I knew it was going to slowly progress more and more down the rabbit hole of monetization. While we don't know what exactly these assets are for we can assume.
Looks like blizzard is making the game great again but only for the people who do nothing but m+, pvp and raid. and at the same time con as much money from players as possible.
Can't play wow on your phone, but it's acting a lot like a mobile game.
They don't deserve players. Blizzard is the same.
Most comments gonna age like Milky LULW
so why is everyone crying about this? you literally do not have to pay money, it is completely optional.
Could y'all tell me who is holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy things from the shop? Also, please let me know how said shop items make you a better player/grow your ^&*!@? I'm genuinely curious. Vote with your wallets FFS and quit whining.
Well not everyone will want to use the Freezing mechanic and it might result in missing out on something that they'd very much so want , so I'm in favor of this
