This is such a non-issue. They are basically doing the same thing they did for Dragonflight. I guess most people weren't aware you got 500 trader's tender from buying DF already. The only difference I'm aware of is the bonus 250 for buying a different edition. If 250/500 trader's tender is a deal breaker for you then maybe it's time to call it a day and find a different game.
Why is there so many variations? Just keep it simple. Basic version, and epic version. No need for 3 or 4 variations.
Let's say that Blizzard did release this. DF would have to keep going strong, assuming the devs don't want just the end to be good.

This isn't a surprise at all. I'm more curious to what the price difference on the next expansion will be in comparison to Dragonflight. I would not be surprised if they up the price.
I buy the Epic version anyway, this is just a bonus.
I'm fine with this. I've always bought the version that has a few goodies mounts and things. The tenders are just a bonus.
building acceptance for tender by not just linking it to purchases, but purchase value - ie. different editions offer increasing amount of tender.. and somewhere in the near future tender will be offered as exclusive purchase.but tenders primary intent probably isnt to be reduced to a "soft" battle pass, but MTX. i feel like Blizzards agenda is a cover currency for seasonal, aka more aggressive MTX, where at some point rare or expensive collectibles - like Bruto - will become available by "just playing the game" (and maybe some additional expanses)./edit personally MTX is a scummy business practice, cuz it basically subtracts (even if its just cosmetic) content from an already purchased product and even more devalues the basic content by premium appearences (see D4 shop armor in comparision to ig armor). MTX becomes a real issue, when games r designed around it, like Diablo:Immoral.
Some noice coin! Noticing skeleton Pirates roaming in Orgrimmar. Have they always been? We also received 3 water mounts recently: Fish, rabbit, tiger. Could be a water expansion coming up.
