Blizzard just made $1B in a single day...
Vote with your wallet.
I can understand people paying a lot for something nice, but I can't understand someone paying a lot of money for something that looks like crap
>>692788956I wanted to get those T2 redesigns but after I looked up how long I have to do dailies for those I think I won't even bother to sub. And they need new expansion too of course.
WoW players get what they deserve
>>692788956fuck this shit
>>692788956Didn't they promise back in the day that this is supposed to be ultimate fomo and never coming back?
>>692788956Old korean mmos have more integrity at this point
>>692789719bourgeoisie have too much money and are numerous enough to bankroll corporations. Imagine the celestial dragons from op.
>>692789719People are buying this for the auction and mail vendors, not for the looks.
Is it because i bought star craft remastered today?
>>692788956HOLY SHIT THIS IS A NEW LOW!
>>692789719FOMO and the fact it has uses for reasons other than it being a mount.
>>692788956>Should we make this cool new long boi a special gift to all our loyal fans for 30 years of Warcraft?>Nah, let's sell it for more than a cost of a new game.
>>692788956Star Citisisters what's our fucking response???
>>692788956Who cares? You faggots will won't delete your battle.net accounts, and you'll continue to purchase, be it on time or with a card.
>>692795636Haven't played WoW since Cataclysm. I just occasionally enter these threads to laugh at wowfags
blizzard knows their audience well
Don't forget to pick up your diabetes in a bottle. Don't want to miss out on all the exclusive rewards
>>692795702based and enlightened cata quitter, that's also when I quit so it must have been THE time to quit
In case you're too lazy to read the text in the gold box, this is one of those special mounts which enables you to use both the auction house and mailbox anywhere you can mount up. It's expensive because it gives you a lot of utility.
>>692797578There's been a portable mailbox since at least Wrath. I haven't played in 6 or 7 xpacs but I know without looking it up that you can get a portable auction house some other way. Those things also aren't really helpful in any way in modern wow.
>>692788956Honestly it's reasonably priced. When you consider Blizzard only charges $50 per expansion when it takes hundreds of people years of work to make. Why shouldn't I be allowed to support developers who have given me endless fun for the last 20 years?
>>692797831it's reasonably priced for no other reason than the only people still playing wow are retards that will buy literally anything
>>692797831Don't forget they're also giving us 8 whole mounts (4 for classic, 4 for retail) for only $30, when they normally sell mounts for $25 each. Do you realize how insane of a value that is?
$90 for an asset inside a video game. MMO players are in a different league of retards.
>>692798018I'm sorry that people spending their money how they want triggers you this hard. How does this affect you, personally?
>>692798163>>692798225Perfect timing.
>>692798089They actually shit up classic with these modern Chinese mobile game models?
I don't get it. There's no prestige in spending $90 on a vanity item that half the server also purchased. You aren't making others jealous idling on your overpriced mount in whatever the hub city is this expansion.
>>692798225Not him, but you can spend your money however you want, dude.Doesn't make it any less pathetic and laughable, though.I'm still in a discord group with people I used to raid with when I played, so I've seen first hand how you literal addicts have been trying to justify this purchase. It honestly makes me pity you.
>>692798225>>692788956gaming deserves to die
>>692788956My friend bought one of these things as an investment for some reason like 3 years ago. I told him this would happen since WoW was on the decline. Everytime he mentions WoW I'm glad I never touched that game.
>>692798225I wonder if one day you'll see how fucking stupid you are or will you cope and live in perpetual debt like most people.
>literally cheaper than the last brutosaurBraindead reactionaries.
Weren't all americans complaining that "they can't afford groceries anymore"? Then they buy this shit?
>>692798225I'm going to sound like a boomer, but I dislike all these weird looking mounts shitting up the game's aesthetics. I liked it when everyone rode things like horses, tigers and wolves
>>692798819you had qiraji bugs
>this enrages the poorfags on /v/
>>692788956I used to hate Blizzard for this but at this point I can't really blame them anymore.
>>692799303>says the dude who posted this last month
$90 USD to $124.65 in Canadian monopoly money
>>692788956Capitalism is the root of all evil.
>>692799434>Doesn't just pay for it with a bit over 1 million goldIf you don't have that much gold just sitting around, I don't know what to tell you, it's easy to do.
>>692799434Buy wow tokens and just pay for it using that.
>>692799641Actually it's $132 leaves
fuck you guys i am buying one!
>>692799101That only worked in AQ unless you were the one out of the entire server that made the staff.
>>692799869The tokens literally ran out of the auction house.
>>692799918We better see you dropping proof of purchase.
>>692799927still. then tbc turned that to 11
>>692790248Yeah, but this one is a different color so it doesn't count! They've also been handing out TCG mounts as Twitch drops when they used to be hundreds/thousands of dollars. Making things unobtainable isn't allowed now because it might upset the soccer moms and wowdads.
>>692798225>>692799303Raiders and whales, really is all WoW has been reduced to huh
>>692800015>still falling for the left-right paradigmNeither side of the uniparty gives a fuck about you and are working to enslave you.
>>692788956Is this game still running? Can you still use a character you made in 2005?
>>692797578>It's expensive because it gives you a lot of utility.its pixels and code anon, yes, i understand the utility of a mount that basically means you never need to enter a major city except to trade in tokens or buy a skillup or something, but it cost blizzard very little to design this, and they're charging a fortune. There is no "value" here.
>>692797831pic related, swap the Cata expansion references for a fucking store mount, and this shit eater lines right up kek.
>>692800101Also ERP'ers on the role-playing servers.
>>692800170Make no mistake, I am in perpetual and vehement detest of democratic policy and governing also.The FTC having teeth is my singular ray of hope for that party.
>>692798225>How does this affect you, personally?retarded junkie cope.
>>692788956Dead game and company. Nobody cares.Sorry./thread
>>692798819there is nothing wrong with feeling that way, Vanilla had 10x the soul this retoilet dopamine-junkie trap has.
>>692788956what 90 dollerydoos can get you in aus>weeks worth of food>a legal blowjob >a better game>buying a round for your mates at a bar>a pet>1T SSD >pancakes with ice creami'm not even poor and i think this looks like shit and a waste of money.
>>692800475>a petwell, if you want a fish or something sure, but that barely gets you a rescue dog/cat at the shelter.otherwise you're correct.
>>692788956MMOs were the biggest mistake.
>>692798089Shilling ironically is still shilling
>>692800475Keep in mind that's USD so it's actually close to $130 dollarydoos.
>>692799758If you hate consent you are a nigger simple as
If I found a lamp with a genie in it my first wish would be for every Blizzard employee to get fistfucked to death by a silverback gorilla
>>692800475>a legal blowjobCan you even train a kangaroo to do that?
>>692792727Makes sense, if you had to walk into Orgrimmar or SW you might accidentally interact with another player
>>692798089Not 8 mounts anon4, just coloured different between each game
>>692800015>>"the reason i am poor is the most recent democratic president"Remind me who was in charge when this massive spike in inflation started. You know, the one cause by insitutions operations with the explicit permission from the government.
>>692800572I paid $100 AUD for my cat from RSPCA
>>692798163I paid $500 for a twisted bow in OSRS
>>692798225Because other devs/publishers see this and copy itWhy set the price at x when people will spend y on it
>>692801068I'm more offended you actually play that dogshit game. Runescspe hasn't been good in over a decade. But at least it USED to be good. Unlike WoW.
>>692798225Isn't mounts like these the entire reason they got rid of the /spit emote?
>>692801253Yes. The community responded to people who purchased that retarded celestial steed by spitting on them to shame them.
>>692800475Damn those are some expensive pancakerydoos
>>692788956>not one but two of the people I play with bought this shitFucking weak willed retards, way too impulsive and falling for muh QoL and FOMO meme
>>692788956so i assume dragonflight and the rest of the game is garbage?
>>692801945Expansion now is War Within but both it and Dragonflight were received very well compared to the excrement that came before
>>692801945Dragonflight sans season 3 was bad too, but it wasn't the unrelenting torrent of shit from the previous expansions so people still act like it was good. This new one is shaping up to be around BfA tier of bad, especially if they keep fucking up their design and balance. The story is also still complete trash, but frankly if you're still buying a blizzard product and not expecting that I have a bridge to sell you.
>>692801945yes I have played every expansion and can attest to the fact that dragonflight and war within are literally the 2 worst expansions in the game
>>692802614stop larping,faggotstein
>>692802614You're smoking serious mandingo penis if you think they're in any way worse than Sneedolands which literally almost killed the game
>>692798225I actually feel bad for themImagine being that empty in life
>>692789719It looks far better than the original "pea soup" version and only costs a million gold and change instead of five.
>>692800861it's pretty nessecary for serious raiding groups to have someone in the party with an AH mount these days
I haven't played WoW since BfA, but I remember AH mounts being only buyable with gold and it was expensive as fuck (in the millions, at least). Is this the first time they are selling one in the in-game shop?
>not playing single player wow or a private server at this point
>>692788956HAHAHAHA it costs more than the fucking "heroic" xpac version
>>692789493ive been voting with my wallet for 20 years and things only get worse
>>692797578Yes its P2W we know
>>692789493But i did buy the mount?
>>692798089>getting paid to actually go in and lower the quality and fidelity of product so that boomers will buy it too
>>692804237Wish I could, but I have decision paralysis. I can't decide what to actually play. I have everything setup too.
>>692798225>Live in nice community>Enjoy the area>Junkies start doing smack and fucking each other in furry and lizard costumes >"How does this affect you, personally?"It doesn't I moved on. Its just funny to drive past and laugh at the people who didn't escape in time.
>>692788956I absolutely do not understand why anyone pays for cosmetics in a Blizzard game. I have no idea what my Diablo 4 Barb's armor looks like right now. I can't remember. I have literally never looked at another player's costume or mount. They're just blurs that rush by in a haze of particles and I never see them again. Same revelation stopped me from farming COD skins. I realized that I never once looked at another player's gun.
Everyone who buys a store mount, toy, transmog, etc should be put onto their own shard. The only other people they can see are other microtransaction users unless invited off said shard for group content.It would take less than an hour before you had riots about being "segregated" and their little "hurr durr poorfag" song and dance was nowhere to be found.You'd have custom groups in the finder begging to be invited off of the richfag store mount shard.
>>692788956>$90That's shopped, right?
>>692804919>That's shoppedThat's THE shop.
By the way, whether or not you bought this everyone who isn't playing WoW is laughing at you retards still playing this, FF14, or any other MMO in the anno of our domini two thousand and twenty four. You WoWfags making fun of the people buying this are the heroin addicts looking down on fent users on the street corner.
>>692788956I bought the mount, and I'd do it again because I want to invest in the game's future. I think the game can take back the gaming crown and be king again.World of Warcraft will be great again.
>>692804838I bought a mount back in Warlords of Draenor. It was the Grinning Reaver. When I bought it, I felt completely empty inside, and swore I'd never buy a mount with real money ever again.
>>692805116I didn't mean to quote, I'm just retarded.
>>692805106>I want to invest in the game's future.>I want them to know to raise the price to $200 for the next store mount>and I'll buy that one too
>>692804919cash shopped
>>692788956Not even FFXIV is this shameless with cash shop bullshit.
I see a couple people have mentioned it, but for those that haven't played WoW in a long time, Blizzard literally sells gold themselves for real money. They've had no integrity or a sense of shame for a very, very, long time now.
>>692805106you are fucking stupid for buying it and even more stupid for thinking a single cent is going back into improving game
>>692805116I basically experienced the same thing when I bought a $30 FFXIV mount, but to be fair it was because I needed a two-seater to help a friend and at the time I had no idea how to obtain any of the free ones. I'm with you though, never again.
>>692805071You're literally doing the same shit though lol.
>>692788956holy shit 90 bucks? people buy this shit on top of the subscription?
>buy digital mount ages ago>feel like a fucking retard and felt as though i couldve bought some food insteaddigital goods and services in the modern world is a farce. just pirate it
I expect a real Li Li with a functioning cooter for that much money
mmos and mobile games and gaas games are like the porn of video games. they should be considered a separate thing from normal video games.
>>692798225the funny thing is that when everyone buys them they lose their appeal
>>692795318its not cool tho. mounts like that became a mistake already in BC. made the cities look like a freaking zoo.
>>692788956I can't even imagine a cosmetic item, in any game, that I would pay 90 dollars for.
>>692798418You're thinking rationally. You aren't thinking like a normalfaggot, which is for the best honestly.
why so many surprised? If you're someone still playing WOW in 20 fucking 24, you are totally the type of loser who'd slap 90 bucks for a mount.
>>692798225Based, same as gacha.
>>692806680>implying anybody that plays WoW post-BFA and especially post-Shadowlands is anything remotely approaching normal.
>>692805891People can trade WoW gold for battlenet currency only usable on the Blizzard launcher. The price of gold jumped from 190k earlier in the week to 281k today because everyone is converting their gold into Blizzard's funny money for the mount. So those players aren't actually buying it with their own cash.
I've spent on some pretty damn silly thingsBut $90 for a WoW mount? Come on
>>692798225>How does the game becoming shittier with every expansion while whales continually incentive Blizzard to rape those who are left for as much cash as possible before it finally all burns down affect you, personally?Here's your (you). And you're right, I guess it doesn't because I don't play anymore.
>>692788956Based Blizzard is fleecing retards out of their money
>>692795636>having a battle.net account
>>692805932But she's hairy.
>>692798817this is what i most do not understand about this world. i constantly hear people complain that they cannot even afford to eat and live, but then every single person that i see broadcast themselves online has a room packed with shit and neon lights in the background, and there are billion dollar industries exclusively running on people that can afford to throw their money away like gambling, phone games, microtransactions, tech, crypto, where the fuck is the money coming from is supposedly we are all poor as fuck?
>>692807243credit card debt
>>692807243forgot to mention all the retarded TV subscriptions, streaming and onl***ns donations. who the fuck has the money???
>>692788956>90 fucking dollars
>>692798089>have bat, wind rider, hippogryph and gryphon models in classic already>NAHHHH LET'S JUST SMOOTH A FEW TEXTURES ON THESE RETAIL EYESORES
>>692805071Yeah, but we aren't filthy fent users, at least.
>>692788956That former dev fag said that one of those purchasable mounts made more money in a month than SC2 WoL ever did.
>>692788956I think its perfect to see this. As a 20 year player, playing the 20 year event, I've completed every task available in less than 1 hour. Its now timegated until next week to do anything new.After 4+ weeks (2 subs), I can buy 1 recolor of a set from vanilla WoW...Meanwhile, every player near me who started playing probably in BFA with their husband or wife or friend, are all on this new $90 cash shop mount around me.Why am I still playing this game /v/?
>>692807243its either this >>692807310 or borrowed money in some other way, people will do anything to appear more wealthy than they really are, its all about appearances to them
>>692788956Wow that must mean their employees are all getting huge raises!
I wonder how many of the people who constantly complain about the cost of living bought this
>>692808212Seeing stuff like this makes me want to buy games even less.Because this industry is extremely greedy.I will keep playing my free games.
>>692808105wait you have played this game for 20 years? Since vanilla?
>>692803990It is but it works out to around 1.2 million gold if you get it with tokens. Still overpriced but it's about 1/5th as expensive as the original mount was while also being better than it.
>>692798418Impressing? No. More like it's a knowing nod between gentlemen that are a part of the club.
>>692808278Yes. I was 14. Im now 34.
What's the difference between this and the mammoth from wotlk? I haven't played since cata so maybe I'm misremembering but the mammoth already has these features right? Why pay 90 bucks, are they retardedMaybe the mammoth didn't have AH and was mail and repair only
>>692808105Of all shitty decisions the WoW team has mad over the years, timegating was the one that managed to permanently stop me from playing. It's the most overt way of saying "you're having too much fun, we want you to pay us a sub for longer so your fun limit for the week has been reached"
>>692789719These are WoW whales anon. They already have rock bottom standards.
>>692798817generally when a certain set of people work for 40 hours and cant afford groceries, it is generally because the person who is supposed to be cutting them paychecks is instead buying this shit.
>>692789493No, vote with violenceThere will always be fools with more money than sense but no ability to defend themselvesStop pretending that the opinions of those not willing to fight for their beliefs matter
>>692808315God dam, I quit wow during wrath. It is true wow was the crack for autists.
>>692808367The mammoth was repair and a vendor only. It didn't have the AH or mail.
>>692807243ik what you mean, but it also has to do sometimes with there being nothing to "save" towards, if that makes any sensesince money is acquired at such a slow rate, and big items are so costly (houses, even fucking used cars at this point) people spend more freely on random purchases, as they feel they can't actually save enough, so there's no point its dumb, but it is a thing
>>692804640>drive past and laugh at the people who didn't escape in timeYou think this shit is going to stay contained just to WoW or even Activision?
>>692808105Sub MMOs are the worst live service system in gaming now. You need to buy an expansion for $50, pay a $15 sub to even access the expansion you just bought, and continue paying that every month or you can't play the product you purchased. All for a shitty leveling experience and repeating the same content for 4+ months between patches.
>>692805106
AH mount is exclusively for the people who play WoW like baby's first day trader simulator
>>692808789AH mount is for midcore (aka shitters) to buy consumables on the fly during raid because they can't be fucked to prepare and the leader is about to do a consumable check to replace the deadweight.
>>692788956
>>692788956ffxiv would never
>>692805106>Blizzard can be great againI wish I could cope this hard
>>692788956Meanwhile WoW players:https://www.wowhead.com/news/wow-token-sold-out-price-rapidly-rising-348753>Players have discovered there is a way to bypass the 60 second lockout though using an in-game script.>/script C_WowTokenPublic.BuyToken()
>>692808668Subscription fees are the best monetization method for the consumer.$15 a month and you get all content, with more added over time.Simple and fair.All that extra shit is just companies going "Let's try putting a price tag on something that we'd normally do for free." and then idiots paying for it because they can, and don't care whether or not they should.Now they know they can just put a price tag on whatever they feel like and make tons of extra money for zero extra effort.
>>692789493Whales are the minority, this advice does not work with this model.
>>692808931I can't imagine how quickly the game would collapse if these dadgamer fucks who can't raid beyond LFR were suddenly unable buy carries. WoW tokens would collapse overnight to 10 gold
>>692808931Do that many people just NEED to have access to an AH every second they spend in-game? WoW players can't even teleport to a city anymore without having a meltdown?
MUST... BUY... MORE... BRUTOSAURS...
>>692788956>remove the option to buy this in game for gold>sell it for real money insteadCan't you sue them for this kind of shit?
>>692809465The funny part is that people spent a lot more money back then buying gold for the "one of a kind" AH mount. Now, this one comes out and is technically cheaper than the original.
Just get unclaimed containers in BMAHWhy pay $90.
>90 bucks for a cosmetic item, 20 more dollars than the full price of an actual game >at any point in time for any arbitrary reason Blizzard can suspend or ban you from playing or dox you and take away your right to play
>>692808105WoW is honestly the best encapsulation of what happened to the video game industry over the past 20 years. It starts out phenomenal, a game you can truly ruin your life with because it's that fucking good and you want to be playing it all day and night. It stays that way through TBC, which has a metric fuck ton of content right from the start of the expansion. Then Blizzard gets bought out, suddenly the next expansion has a rerun raid for the first tier, then they start dumbing it down for casual appeal while also adding more lazy raids(Onyxia 2.0, Trial of the Crusader, Ruby Sanctum). They start removing the amount of time players are required to play the game and how often you need to group, everything slowly moves towards being soloable. Gone are the days of getting your raid to help you get your Thunderfury, gone are the days of even needing friends to queue for dungeons, and they added the $25 horse - the first account wide mount that could save you a lot of in game gold when it mattered more.From there, it's just downhill with the casualizing of the game, eventually most of your abilities are pruned away and your rotations are streamlined, all the fun and flavorful abilities are removed. Content gets recycled like how the Warlock tank glyph in MoP got reworked into Demon Hunters and then the legion weapon abilities get added in as talents in later expansions. WoW is no longer the same game, it's just a long time gate where Blizzard edges you for as long as possible to extract your sub fee and sell you cash shop items.One of the greatest games ever made, completely ruined by greed and incompetent devs. Entire quest chains removed for being problematic, characters in towns randomly made black for the sake of diversity, everything wrong with the gaming industry is seen in new WoW. It started as a cool game for nerds and by nerds, now it's a product designed to bring a megacorporation that acquired the original company as much cash as possible.
>>692803843>serious raiding groupsmaybee they should move over to hard games if they want to tryhard like that
If you haven't realized by now over the past 5 years, retail wow is a game for mazed rats to paypiggy the development of classic wow. God bless the idiots buying this ridiculously overpriced, gaudy mount. I need vanilla+ to play
>>692809417Funny thing about the lawsuit is that despite the government not finding alot of evidence of it being widespread they still paid them anyway
>>692788956And to think /v/tards were stupid enough to think MS acquiring ActiBlizz would curb this kind of anti-consumer bullshit lol.
>>692809734different one, this one has a mailbox instead of a vendor
why?why buy this?why even still play wow?the endgame is non existant + boring as SHIT for the past decadesthe story is what the internet calls "slop"class halls were the only good thing
>>692810079Based on current WoW players Legion was shit and killed wow.Dragonflight and TWW are the peak wow experience for them.
>>692789719There's no correlation between financial well-being and cultural education anymore, since even regular people can be relatively wealthy. imo regular people are the worst.
>>692809994Who cares theres mailboxes all over the place.
Wow hasnt been fun for a long long time anymore
>>692809810Most people can't even play the game without addons.
>>692797578>It's expensive because it gives you a lot of utility.Aka pay to win
I dare you to respond without sounding mad.
>>692797578That's called manufactured value and predatory games(mostly gachas) do it all the time. FGO popularized it by having units that could cost thousands of dollars or you could pay $30 for a random SSR. Everyone bought the $30 SSR because it was such a "good value" but that value doesn't actually exist, that's just what the company decided to charge.A real world example is what you see on Amazon where companies have their base price higher and the item is permanently on sale so it looks like you're getting a deal even though you're buying it for the "normal price". $50 item is whatever, a $50 item that says it's totally $100 but on sale for 50% off gets people to buy it.
>>692810770I don't give a fuck about what cunts on twitter are saying or doing.
>>692788956At least you get something with your $90. $90 in a gacha game doesn't even get your the rate up character.Not excusing one action or the other, but Blizzard could have turned it into a slot machine and extorted more money from brainless MMO drones.
>>692808483>i-i-it's the evil CEOs buying all the $90 WoW mounts!
>>692800101Whales run this bitch and are the primary reason so many horrific practices stick around
>>692789876This. You can’t blame a company for selling shit to retards
>>692800101Yeah, that's the sad truth.
>>692788956QRD why are people buying this?
>>692800101WoW currently has less than a million real people playing it. The game could be sustained by 20,000 minimum.
>>692811412it has insane quality of life
>>692811412Auction house + Mail boxAnd people are going insane with this mount of how many times they are going to purchase this thing over and over again.And it's perfect for bots.
>>692810881except gacha is free. the entry is literally $0 while WoW the entry is probably $60+monthly sub. It's genuinely fucking worse because at least you can get by spending absolutely nothing with gachas.
>>692811612>>692811602i see it now, i dont play wow but i can only assume having a on the go auction house being busted as fuck
Next time some fuckwith tells you to go 'vote with your wallet' point them to shit like this'voting with your wallet' is doing NOTHING because these fucking idiots who will mindlessly consoom and enable this crap outnumber you 100:1.Moral victory? Sure, you didn't buy the slop, congrats, pat yourself on the back for all the good it did you.
>>692811718the mailbox makes it so you can get all the gold from your auction house purchases or send things to your other characters anywhere and then the other characters can open that mail anywhere. i struggle to call it p2w because it doesn't necessarily let you win, but your time in game is much better if you have it.
>>692811760yes that's right, join the paypigs like a good goy.
>>692811718Yes. If you buy something from the auction house, the item goes to your mailbox and you have to pick it up from there and as a mount combination you never have to go back to town again.And you can imagine the 24/7 gold farming and auction house bots that can abuse that.
>>692788956>2024>still playing WoWI genuinely don’t get it. Are they really that stupid?
>a whale mount in FF14 that the devs call you retarded if you buy costs $40>wowbucks are RABID to buy a mount for $90
>>692812059yes
>>692812223It's so fucking funny.
>>692811925>gold sellers have infinite gold to exchange for wow tokens>they'll use that gold buy the mount to farm even more goldGod damn, the economy is going to get even fucking worse lmao.
>>692811925>And you can imagine the 24/7 gold farming and auction house bots that can abuse that.so blizzard is basically destroying their game?>>692811840i see 2 in 1 on the go
>>692812360yeah bots don't even have to stop now they can just sell shit on the AH and keep going
OMWF
>>692812360>>692812395they REALLY didn't think this through
>>692789493That doesn't work when you can vote against it only once but whales can buy unlimited amount of votes pushing for this shit.That's the main problem nowadays, even if 99% of people don't buy this shit just one whale makes it worth it for them.
>>692812369>so blizzard is basically destroying their game?This is true for all of their games. Is it so surprising?
>>692788956It's a good day to hold microsoft stonks
brokies seething
>>692788956Blizzard games are a tax on stupid people.
>>692812698Is it even whales anymore? These people live and breathe WoW, all of their life decisions determined by faceless trannies in their guilds and discords. Its a life for them now on every single molecular level, no different from a normalfag couple purchasing food for their family, a house, jobs, equities and paying for their kids to attend school.
>>692788956Imagine proudly advertising to other players that you're a pay pig.
>>692798089I only played classic for a few weeks when it released, wasn't the point for it to just be how the original game was? I heard they started doing expansions for it. Doesn't introducing new things defeat the whole point?
>>692798225>How does this affect youI used to play a good game but now I don't because that game turned into absolute diarrhea thanks to (You)
I played this game for 16 years and watched friends that were 100% against gold sellers, bot farmers and shit like that become the biggest spenders with boosting on WoW because they grow up and now are hitting 40 years with 100k USD/yearly living alone so the only hobby outside of their jobs is doing M+ casually while using the new exclusive Mythic raid that they bought from Liquid or any other top 10 guild, its sad, I dropped this game at the end of Shadowlands because I noticed that all my friends were boosters or boosted animals.
>>692807243americans do not know how to buy groceries

>>692788956They wouldn’t had made 1 billion even if all active wow players bought it. Do you really think they have 11 million players? I’d be surprised if it breaks a million.

>>692795636Stopped playing after Pandaria. I didn't delete my account but years ago I got an update that it had been compromised by logins from China so it's not my problem any more and never will be.
>>692798225>I'm sorry people spending money to fund mass murder triggers you this hard, how does this affect you personally? It's not like they are destroying economies of stable countries, forcing floods of refugees to flee for their lives into other places, upsetting their social and economic fabric, all for the sake to produce more cheap labor to fuel their endless startups and angel investmentsDie, kike.
>>692814130No you have to pay $20 to get gold to buy a different mount to do mogs
>>692808305The "I threw $90 on the shitter like a giant fucking retard" club?
>>692789493>Tencent made over 2 billion only from League alone last yearkys faggot, that shit never worked, League added new skins worth 250 $, there was a skin worth 500$, a fucking console price
The *really* funny part is that the human woman on the mount is white. As soon as it is about a sale DEI is out of the window and we go back to putting white people in products.
>>692788956just when you thought they can't get any more pathetic kek. they are THE worst vidya company right now
>>692805106>I think the game can take back the gaming crown and be king again.How? Why?
>>692814738What's the point of pandering to black people? I doubt you can buy the mount with food stamps.
>>692814789The same guy probably thinks that Diablo Immortal was the king of games at a time when people were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars equipping themselves.
>>692814738Correct. When something is a surefire sell they don't have to pander for the blackrock bucks.
>>692814880Gacha games do make a lot of money but Diablo made surprisingly little for how long it was in development and how many microtransactions it actually had. I assume it's because people would rather roll for characters than equipment

Wowfags are shit eaters. Complete addicts, simple as.
>>692789493You could do it until you die of old age and nothing will change thanks to whales.
I can't even fathom what a mount in wow would need to do in order for me to even consider dropping 90$ on it. Sure as fuck would need to have more than a mailbox and an auction house.I understand that 90$ for me is not the same as for other people that might be better off but even just in principle...Is just crazy

We need to capture WoW players and perform Unit 731-style experiments on them to find out what the fuck is going on inside their heads. We need to make Mengele blush with these experiments
>>692824413It's a simple sunk cost fallacy.>I've played this game longer than I've done anything else in life so I can't stop playing because then I would have nothing to show for all those hours played.

>>692824224You don't own the server. You pay 15$ to access the 90$ mount you bought on the server. If the server dies or you don't pay the fee, you lose access to the 90$ mount you bought.

>>692808627>You think this shit is going to stay contained just to WoW or even Activision?NTA but no, I don't expect that it's going to stay in WoW and still, I no longer care except feeling a passing sadness whenever I see the things I liked go to new lows. Why don't I care that much anymore? That's because I have amassed my hoard of older games that I can literally play until I die of old age.While I wish to find newly made games that are appealing to me, I gave up with the optimistic belief that there will always be new games that I like. So I bought some old consoles (that I didn't have before), modded them myself to play backup copies then I downloaded ATLEAST 30% of the entire catalogue for each console (the only exception is the PS2, it has too many games to download such a sizeable portion).Now I have enough games to last me multiple lifetimes. If any new game comes out that appeals to me, I'll enjoy that but I gave up on the idealistic hope that there will always be new good games for me to enjoy.
Just buy it with tokens
>>692822886>prussian three-class franchise>only the noble class is allowed to have a say in the ruling of a countrySo why is this any different than a fiefdom, or monarchy?
How much auctioning do you have to do to make up the mount's cost? Its sole purpose over normal mounts is easier AH access, right?
>>692788956If a meaningless cosmetic costs that much, then 100% of the profits better be going to some kind of charity or something.I actually feel bad for WoW fans. They're effectively addicts exploited by their dealer.
>>692811698>>except gacha is free.So is WoW since you can just pay for your expansions and game time, or anything in the shop really, with tokens. Except you get the full experience doing this in WoW, while in gachas f2poors have a worse experience and have to skip banners so they can scrounge up enough premium currency for one limited banner. Gachaniggers are even dumber than wowfags

>>692798710dishonest take, the only reason the original brutosaur was added was because blizz was desperately putting insane gold sinks in the game every expansion because they fucked up in Word letting people make millions of gold idling in their garrison
>>692826798If that's really the case, I guess there are some silly mfs out there (considering the OG bruto was 4x the price of this one). I'd consider buying one, since the convenience is really nice, but getting a second one just to flex on poors is straight up retarded.

>>692827730>a sub is 13 dollars/month>a wow token is 15 dollars/month>giving more money to blizzard is a good thing as long as it's not ME paying
>>692789493
It's astonishing how a lot of people are unable to think further than what happens to them in the present. They don't understand the consequence of buying micro transactions, they don't understand that by buying with tokens, blizzard is making even more money, they take 7 extra dollars on tokens transactions.
>>692828351But I did have breakfast this morning.
>>692815058Damn she looks exactly like my gf if she had short hair.
>>692828351we just need to raise minimum wage to 1million dollars then everyone will be a millionare
It's morally correct to kill a wowfag
>>692828351>They don't understand the consequence of buying micro transactionsAnd what would those consequences be exactly?>but they'll put more mtx in the shopWho gives a shit? They've been straight up selling gold for years now. It hasn't made the game worse (or, at least, the ways in which the game became worse have nothing to do with the shop).
>>692828351Anyone playing retail at the moment has been through dozens of financial abuse tests at this point, including most recently being gouged $90 just to play the game on actual release day. Nobody with a functioning brain is playing this shit any longer, they all left out of disgust at some earlier act of villainous greed on Blizzard's part
>20th anniversary celebration is the opportunity for drones to give blizzard more money
>>692828351If you still play wow you are an abuse victimYou may think you can quit, but you can't.

>>692815210Why would someone who consistently finds themselves in the minority on every vote ever support a democratic system?
>>692829930You can't fool AI.
This game turns me into such a degenerate coomer. I usually fap only once or 0 a day. Then I play retail for the first time in a couple of months last night and i fapped 5 fucking times to Draenei, Elves and Whitemane.

>>692833005I thought this was going to be a fetish doujin until I saw the artist's name.
>>692827026>>692798418>I don't get it. There's no prestige in spending $90 on a vanity item that half the server also purchased. You aren't making others jealous idling on your overpriced mount in whatever the hub city is this expansion.>dishonest take, the only reason the original brutosaur was added was because blizz was desperately putting insane gold sinks in the game every expansion because they fucked up in Word letting people make millions of gold idling in their garrison90% of people who have the original Brutosaur got it by buying wow tokens and converting them to gold look up the old forum posts, people bragging about spending 500$ for a 'prestige mount'
>>692822369any other source other than maldavius figtree (see: pirate software)
>>692788956Funny to think this is actually still cheaper than the OG was if you used real world money to gold transfer.
>>692788956Why should I buy this when it's just gonna end up in the tendie quartermaster in a year and a half much like the pirate ship was?
>>692788956>urg, Blizzard is getting so lazy, between canceling PCE for overwatch, making botched Warcraft remaster, never finishing StarCraft 2, and the overall shit state of WoW... I might quit it altogether>Holly shit is that a 80 bucks Dino mount!?! MOOOM WHERES MY CREDIT CARD!Blizzcuck deserve it to be honest
>>692827026He's right though. The Caravan Brutosaur will cost you minimum almost four hundred dollars in tokens on the BMAH. You can get this one much more easily and for less than a quarter of the price.
>>692830685If you're always at odds with the majority around you, you're just in the wrong place.
>>692788956I'd laugh at you fuckers for still slurping Blizzslop, but the only reasonable contender has gone to absolute shit too. Grim days for the MMO genre.
>>692789797They're pretty ugly anyway. Worse than the set a dude with minimal game art background did in his spare time on YouTube.
>>692836987Rather play no MMO at all than give Blizzard money. You don't need an MMO.
>>692826968I see Blizzdrones have embraced their role as the dregs and laughing stock of the gaming industry on the level of the worst brainless gacha consoomers.
>>692828351Funny how people fail to understand that when they're told to vote with their wallet, a pretty fucking key part of that is that you not only refuse to buy the MTX slop, you stop playing the game entirely.
>>692826968>You can't make fun of me for being pathetic because I embrace being pathetic and that makes you stupid for pointing it out! Just shut up already!!!!
>ITT people mad like 20 retards bought something
>>692839635Yes. I will continue to make fun of you and other Blizzkeks for being gacha-tier sloppers.
>>692788956its overwe losttime to retreat to the emulation haven while your favorite hobby further degenerates into complete shit
>>692839695lil retard i aint bought shit and WoWs dead, the screenshots in this thread show barely anyone theredo somethin less sad than laughing at a whale corpse you brainrot faggot
>>692805106thank you for your service, my original WoW collector's edition in mint condition will only gain value thanks to people like you
>Bobby gets forced out>We get a $90 store mount
>>692824950>why is the guy whose youtube channel and revenue is tied into making boom bust endless cycle clickbait about how 'wow is OVER' and then 'wow is BACk baby!' keeps making videos about blizzard
>>692789493never works.
>>692841296It did with Bud Light.
>>692822404>le heckin paint scribbling pirate dev man heck yes
>>692801367It wasn't the Steed that was the catalyst, it was the TBC Classic mount that was the catalyst for the /spit movement. They swore up and down that Classic would be free from the modern day influences of retail WoW, and then they went back on that because LMAO at ever trusting anything that Blizzard says.
>>692836923REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE WERE PRAISING THE MICROSOFT ACQUISITIONBECAUSE THEY WERE SAYING IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN IT IS UNDER ACTIVISIONAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>692842212No people were definately spitting on the celestial steed on its release aswellI DISTINCTLY remember everyone spitting on them and calling them faggots/gay in battlegroundsIn cata they even self refrenced people shitting on them(in a more family friendly way) with the hillsbrad foothills intro quest where you play the role of quest giver
>>692807243>>692808601It's the avacado toast fallacy. While times are hard, the fact is most frivolous purchases are a drip in the massive cost of saving for something else. Not buying that $90 dollar mount is not going to make a difference when housing costs for even the most run down of hovels are $500k and rising. Not only that but it's a bit of a dishonest argument as well that people don't need rewards for their work.
>>692828351>It's astonishing how a lot of people are unable to think further than what happens to them in the present.You can never be prepared for the future you retard.
>>692844042Not saying it didn’t happen back then at all, but it was Asmon actively encouraging people to /spit on store mount users that got the /spit emote effectively banned.
>>692839856Still making fun of you and other Blizz slopgobblers. :3
>>692845061they banned spit emote?
>>692847601yepwhen they brought out one of the store mounts a while back and the bald streamer said they should be /spat on
>>692844170Avocado toast advice is valid and is meant to discourage overspending and encourage good financial habits
>>692795636Foxxo aka vulperafag is making these bait threads, just ignore and sage.
>>692847601Sort of. It still exists, but the emote can't be targeted onto players. You used to be able to spit on people or NPCs, but now /spit just has you spit on the ground, regardless of who you're targeting.
>>692789493Nah. It's fucked. This mount is unironically too OP to not buy, but if you don't buy it you're just fucking yourself because EVERYONE ELSE is buying it so then you're the only poor retard that doesn't have it
>>692797831cartman
>>692803843Sounds like they arent very good and need P2W crutches to win. Doesn't sound serious at all actually, sounds like some casuals want to seem serious.
>>692789493voting with your wallet works, it's abstaining with your wallet that's ineffective.
Considering the tens of thousands of hours of entertainment this game has given me, 90$ is a small price to show the devs my appreciation.If anything it’s too cheap. I would gladly throw another hundy or two Blizzard’s way to support the game I love.
>>692852754it's good bait
>>692789493doesn't workfor every 1 "voting with wallet" person, there are 20 mindless normies that will eat up whatever slop the AAA devs shovel outand that is why vidya going mainstream was a mistake
>>692815996>$5$5 worth of gold is literally thousands of potions worth of goldretard
>>692853074so you're saying they are outnumbererd 20:1?
how the fuck you can turn gold into a money to buy things from the store
>>692788956WoWtards deserve it for still paying for this shit game
>>692788956Anyone playing blizz games deserves their bank account drained dry.
And you will buy this too
>>692848026all the cost cutting in he world isn't going to bridge the gap if you're still 2000 dollars a month short of convincing a bank you can pay your rent to a mortgage instead
this game has done irreversible damage to the MMO genre and like nobody has cared for 20 years lol
>>692798089>they normally sell mounts for $25>$25insanei can't believe my eyes
>>692798089FINALLY BLIZZARD IS LISTENING
>>692818298>>692795702then delete it
>>692788956This speaks VOLUME about TWW sales if they needed to pull a long boi mount to make their quarterly financial report look good
>>692801945Yes. It's LGBT fever dreams and MTX all the way down.
>>692855002Yep and some certain youtuber can start calculating from quarterly financial report the number of subscribers all over again.This is their tactic.
>>692855002>UHHHH? WHY WOULD YOU WANT MONEY, BLIZZARD? SAYS A LOT ABOUT SOCIETYwhy do you retards think like this? do you think there's some kind of gold cap irl?
>>692853461You buy WoW tokens from the auction house, which costs goldThen you right click the token in your bag and select Battle net money or Blizzard money or whatever they fuck they call it these days
Blizzard makes more money now with less players than it ever did when WoW was at it's peak.This alone should tell you all you need to know about the industry.
>>692828351Exactly. All the retards going "I didn't spend a dime, I just farmed gold and bought tokens" don't realize Blizzard doesn't care, whales are instead spending more purchasing tokens for them to buy with gold.
>>692856475No wonder game is full of bots.
>>692857869its nice if you want to buy other gamesi used it to buy d4 and previous wow expansioni wasnt botting since main account and shit
>>692854315they addded even fucking more? jesus
>>692825751damn it took you this long to respond with a non answer lmao.fyi gachas get more frequent updates than your dying genre. while you wait 4 months for a 2 hour content patch, gacha shitters get updates every 1.5 month. which also means if you're f2p you only have to save for like a month. don't really have to grind as much either and can quit anytime as a f2p so enjoy your cucked experience lmao.
>>692826234the mount only cost 1.3 million gold for the first couple hours before wow tokens were all sold out. You could have easily obtained 1.3 million surplus if you had some light interaction with the profession system since release.
>>692854909Classic was the last time I tried to deal with their bullshit. Then they put fucking tokens in it.
>>692788956You have to be retarded to buy that!
>>692799303They are just mad it's so visceral and in your face. When players buy gold to buy items in GDKP /v/ has absolutely nothing to say, even though that is directly pay to win.
>>692788956Man I see Nexon mmo enjoyers as subhumans for paying $30 on average for their powercreeping p2w mountsI don't even know what to think of this
>>692859123wowfags are broken
>>692815210Direct democracy is a bad system, that's why we have republics.
Not a single compelling argument ITT why this is a bad thing. Just poors seething.
>>692859123Nexon mmo enjoyers > blizzard subhumans
The Activision Jew strikes again. After he put his claws into blizzard the Jew is desperate for more fresh blood.
Remember pre-wrath when all the cool mounts were hard to get and you couldn't outright purchase them with real cash?
>>692808531>No, vote with violenceThanks for your input, Mr. FBI.
How many mounts you can buy from the store right now? How much it would cost?
I've read that botters mass bought the mount and can't get refunds after the ban wave.
I almost forgot that this worthless company got bought out by Microsoft.It's the Microsoft Jew trying to recover this failed expansion.
>>692798225That screenshot is art. WoW players are fucking braindead
Why do people assume normal players bought this and not goldfarmers and bots?
>>692789493basedlook at the fucking seething replies don't give money, that's it they're dead
>>692860294Because it only cost a bit more than a million gold in tokens (before they sold out). That's almost nothing these days.
>>692860495So people likely didn't spend any actual money for it.
>>692860294bots have no reason to buy useless items same with goldfarmers
who took the position of overlord kike Kotick?
>>692860782Full access to the AH and a Mailbox is useless?
>>692828351What I find astonishing is how the big wow content creators are incapable of keeping blizzard accountable, like Asmongold or Bellular, they could be their biggest critics when blizzard fucks up or is embroiled in yet another scandal but the moment wow drops a new patch or expansion they will go back to streaming the game and praising it.
it's easier to spot subhuman ingame
>>692861215You expect retards to hold anything accountable?
>just flat $90 for a digital mount in a dying gameKEK
>>692861215Watching people like that is so depressing.How many times can you go through the same cycle of >WoW is dead!>WoW is BACK BAYBAY!!!before you start questioning what the hell you are even doing with your life. Its a fucking video game, just move on already.
>>692861396And here I thought the FFXIV whale was going to be the most expensive mount in MMO's.
>>692860832>full accessYou mean saving yourself a pair of seconds to avoid breaking the sound barrier dragonriding between the mailbox and AH a couple of times while leveling professions or whatever.Less so actually, since there are going to be so many other idiots who burned $100 to AFK for everyone else's benefit.
>>692824950To be fair, every time he tries to pivot his views and income tank so he’s kinda stuck on Mr Bones Wild Ride
