Well there's the RP fags. Then there are the fags that just really like decorating/setting up houses. "Aren't there other games out there that cater to these things better than WoW possibly could?" Yeah probably, but for whatever reason, much like people who like to dress up their character and take endless stylelized pictures of them, people who enjoy it seem to flock to MMORPGs, they want to do that thing, but they want an actual game to play attached to it.

It's a time sink for the few fans who are so broken by life and the sunk cost fallacy they have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, but might be at risk of finally logging off and actually improving their existence. So, throw them a "home" they can decorate and delude themselves into feeling like, maybe, WoW isn't a waste of what little time and energy they have.

Yes? Not all the customers are so you end up in this state where you alienate and anger those people while making all your money off whales. WoW is becoming more and more like a f2p mobile game as time goes on despite having a sub AND asking $90 to play an expansion when it releases.

WoW will keep losing players or they will swap to classic to go back to a time before it was a glorified mobile game.

Do you guys ever see stuff like this and wonder where we went wrong as a society?

$75... for one and zeros. But not just any ones and zeros a smaller fraction as an addon to a larger series of ones and zeros that you already paid for. This should not even cost 75 cents.

Honestly the most predatory portion of WoW is the legal RMT due to tokens, 90% of the player base just swipes tokens and pays for raid and arena boosts.
The game is a toxic sludge of shitty gay (like unironically mentally ill homosexual) players who constantly cheat and try to brag about achievements and armor sets they paid some manchild loser to boost them to but they also pretend they didn't get boosted and "worked" for said achievements.

It's a very weird community

As I understand it, this was more of a problem with implementation. Garrisons were poorly balanced so they fucked up the economy by causing massive gold inflation. Which then made them mandatory on as many characters as possible so you didn't get left behind. And when grind becomes mandatory everyone hates it.
