Blizzard SCREWS UP Yet Again (Rage Warning)
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 06. 2023
- The Trading Post is an amazing new feature that was added to World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. The Trading Post gives players the opportunity to organically earn currency called Trader's Tender from doing their favorite activities in WoW, and exchange it for rotating cosmetic rewards each month. Sounds great right? Unfortunately, you will now be able to purchase additional Trader's Tender using RMT. With modern World of Warcraft monetizing cosmetics, mounts, pets, transmog, and even gold using the WoW Token, what does your WoW subscription for $15 a month get you now?

Stop helping them. They actually will monetize game even more.
If I leave wow at least I know I didnt miss out on traders tender items lol
Complaining bout Blizz, but trying to sell some more Merch, realy? 😥
How can I be a queen, tho?
Man, I think the PR are not to blame here. These guys have a job and it is to mop up the droppings of the upper management. They are literally powerless in this situation, or any situation for that matter. The analysts and the actual decision makers are to blame here. It is indeed funny in the rich man's world :D
Across every single one of their games, they've skyrocketed into monetary predation tenfold. It's absolutely disgusting.
Classic Capitalism strikes again. >.
A business making money shocking. Hush whiny
"but um, it's fine! that's like, armchair activism and stuf!!111 the game is fine!!"
-average blizzard simp
The problem is that people are buying. It doesn't matter to them that their population plummeted from over 10 mil to barely 1 mil. because those 1 mil keep buying all kind of shit that they keep putting up. Holy shit, imagine a game losing over 90% of their active population... and they still make lots of money.
And sad thing is normies don't care. Predatorial practices showed their value and people don't really leave despite being regularly fucked by them.
"Blizzard would never do that" has been a laughable statement for almost a decade
female blizzard would never do that**
Honestly I'm surprised people still buy their products.
Every time that was said, it was broken.
not a decade about 15 years at least.
"WOW looking good? Time to shoot ourselves in the foot." Blizzard probably
At this point, I have zero clue what our $15 a month is going towards.
That's why i stopped paying for it. Like what's the point?

@@White_Wolf1776 yeah i wonder the same as a non wow player, or anything blizzard for that matter. People seem to have a hard time quitting, prob sunk cost fallacy and attachment and content creators get content out of it anyway. The cope is real
EVERY TIME I think of returning to WoW, Blizzard changes my mind.
Sure pal.
Same, whenever I feel like paying I look for news of the game and the need goes away
I return to wow couple days ago after giving 3 week break after new patch came out and now it just feelings boring. Yet I try and try to find decent guilds to at least run in dungeons m+ or raids for the new content yet I stumble with shitty ppl
Please think this more often. Need me Blizzard to begone.
Same, except I haven't even reached endgame before I quit/start over
The problem with Blizzard (and many gaming publishers) is that there are accountants and executives making these decisions and not the developers and game designers who actually know and love their game and really know their target audience.
Indeed, it's not like they now all of sudden get proper wages. No, they are taken advantage off even more than we are.
Preach my friend!
Problem is those guys do know the target audience because if this shit didn't work they wouldn't keep doing it
the problem is that this is not Blizzard anymore. company was sold to a greed only world wide corporation . real Blizzard is dead ...non existent. Blizzard is just a logo at this point
Ye but the devs and game designers want more money year after year, and they are right to ask it of course. Wow sub had same price even though the prices for develop a game and pay designers increased, I see it obvious that they will try to cash more in...the other option would be to increase subs payment.
Blizzard Entertainment: We fix things that aren't broken
we break things that aren't broken*
WoW players: We complain and still give the money.
Hmm this is working and ppl like it... WE DONT LIKE THAT, NOT ON OUR WATCH!
We break things that need fixing 😂😢😅
Also Blizzard..we nerf things that are fun.
They had a chance to start again on a good note, all they had to do is to keep doing what they were doing since the beginning of Dragonflight, and in time the WoW team would slowly regain our trust, until we have the modern WoW that we always wanted. Such a stupid shot in the foot, it feels like a betrayal.
Hows it a shot in the foot? Nobody is unsubbing and listing this as the reason so they arent hurting there. There is definitely a target audience that will buy it. Why wouldnt they make more money?
If it feels like a betrayal, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to modern Blizzard. There is no trust left. Only Lizzard moments. The corporation runs the show so any loyalty you have to the devs is wasted. The money you spend on the game doesn't go to them.
How many times are you gonna get bamboozled? Its not a betrayal at this point, this is self immolation believe in lies and dreams. Blizzard that made the good WoWs is Gone.
As soon as I saw the trading post coming I knew this would happen. The level of greed is disgusting but not surprising.
can u also help me see what life is installed for me too bro
And no surprise, the Blizzard Shills on the forum are mass reporting and silencing anyone that doesn't think this is a good idea.
i'm actually pretty suprised.
expected it to become a battlepass like system.
but...i guess tendies are going to cost like 40$ for 1000?!
anything below that wouldn't be blizzard anymore, not greedy enough!
If this does happen it truly feels like a rug pull scam
This? This is the thing that feels like a rug pull scam?
We're not 100% sure if its for the ingame store for IRL money, but if that is the case, RIP Trading Post I guess. They will fill the trading post with more expensive items so you feel ''forced'' to buy tenders to not miss out on items (FOMO)
Oh it will be, this is Blizzard we're talking about - I'm positive mounts, full xmog sets etc from raids will soon enter
With the token, it wouldn’t matter
There’s RMT to be had either way
It's coins, so it will be. if you look at each bundle, they are numbered in the same manner as literally every other in-game shop that sells currency for irl cash, to get you to spend more money.
They absolutely are turning the TP into a coin/cosmetic cash shop. They only needed to take their time to lul players into accepting it before showing their full hand.
How long until we stop saying “not 100% sure”? It’s blizzard. It’ll be a micro transaction
@@RichardJanvrinYT When Blizzard says "this is on the cash shop" because until thing its just some dude on Wowhead's opinion of "what it looks like".
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the plan from the start. At this point, I can’t even be disappointed in the company because you expect them to behave like this and nothings going to change because not enough people care to make blizzard change via their wallets.
This in general for the whole games industry.
Not many put up a fuss when lootboxes showed up (The govs did, because parents and protection firms stepped in).
Not many care at all that BP's exist, and not many care at all about charging more and more for cosmetics (people even defend them with "just cosmetics").
The industry only gets worse with time, the more people are subjugated to these bad practices and in turn are made passive to them. There's a reason why these companies in the games inudstry are hiring psychiatric doctors to help them refine all these monetisation practices, with each one being more tolerated as time goes on.
@@dirge7459 same with the increase from $60 to $70

@@dragonriderabens9761 They aren't forcing you to stay in the boiling water though.
industry 101
You wean in people to get comfortable first before bending them over
Not only they can slowly increase the price but also diminishing how much you earn if you grind for it, thus subconsciously forcing you to spend real money as a short cut or to save time. Never ever praise them for their good actions when it was over due in the first place.
Wrong you never forced to spend real money. I never brought something I didn't want to
Or making specific high price mounts or emsambles on the same month, as they did this month (2 mounts and one 750 armour set)
that’s what i’m worried about tbh. so far i’ve completed the trading post by just playing normally. but i’m sure as time goes on i will have to focus and grind it out. which will take me from doing things i actually want to do
@@ricahrdvelez8817 The key word he used was "subconsciously". His entire comment is 100% correct, you're just angry he's speaking out against your beloved Blizzard and their abhorrent tactics.
@@MrHowardMoon think about it nothing they put out to buy with real money can make you good at the game at all lol its all mounts toys cosmetics. Even the wow token wont make you good at it. Its weird to see people mad at a company trying to make money it never forces you to buy anything but your gametime and that for many players is to not there no more either. You can pay your sub with wow gold never having to pay any of your money in this game no more unless you buy the expansions.
there is no screw up at all, they know EXACTLY what they are doing..Greed knows no limits.
@BirthofEcstasy all i find are mostly estimates that use numbers from years ago to calculate the expected ammount of today based on available statistics without any real evidence of how precise it is.
i would really appreciate a source for your number as, like i said before, i can only find rough estimates.
Blizzards like a drunk uncle you used to like; disaster after disaster, then one day you hear he's holding down a job at the McDonald's and doing OK for himself, only to be disappointed yet again a few months later when he gets arrested on a DUI.
I stopped playing in BFA, best decision I ever made. Honetsly boys just let go, I know it hurts now but in a year you won't even look back.
"Hey, we'll add in the trader's tender/traveler's log to WoW, so people who otherwise may have missed out of old transmogs, mounts and more, can have a shot again!"
....
"Oh btw, we're adding micro transactions to it, because FOMO amirite?"
I hope everybody at Activision Blizzard steps on multiple legos.
@@jonnycroxville4590 Blizz AND the buyers are the problem. They go hand in hand, not one or the other. Takes two to tango. But yeah, it's the people buying the dumb shit that keeps predatory practices the norm.
Watch them make it super grindy for those that try to earn it through gameplay. Like 30 Raid bosses already is super grindy. Watch that become 45, or even 60 to get that 250 points.
I saw quite a few people predict this when they announced Trader’s Post, guess they were right…
duh
Blizzard: *If it ain't broken, we will break it.*
I remember people on the forums screeching at us for saying this was going to happen. Clown game.
It's always a good feeling when you're just playing the game and it feels like you're doing something wrong still
It was already suspicious how good the Trading Post was developed, now we know why.
Blizz can keep monetizing as much as they like as long as people keep spending. It sucks but at some point you have to start blaming the players and not the for profit company catering to the average lazy player.
It sounds nice to blame the players, but it's not really their fault. At least not collectively. All it takes is a small minority of players to buy MTX for it to be worth it. That said, the rest of the players have to be okay enough with it to stay subbed.
Me and a friend were talking about how it feels like we get just a bit under enough Tender to really have freedom to buy stuff and I was thinking maybe an extra 500 after completing the main track for doing some of the other objectives would work. Not too much to go crazy but it's nice for those times that they put a lot of high-quality items in the 600+ area. This is not what I was hoping for if you can actually purchase it for IRL money.
ya know what the worst part is? They won't increase the cost of items, they'll literally just slash the main track for getting tokens in half, difficult or time sinking tasks to unlock the 250 tokens will be something like 100 at most and everything else will only give 50.....
When Nixxiom rages, that's when you know it's actually gone wrong.
Honestly not surprised, as soon as the trading post was released, I was thinking eh, this seems like the ESO Crown system except they are releasing it without charging anyone at first. And here we are, it's not about making a great game, it's about how do we make money. This is the gaming Era we live in now. Great video, agree with everything you mentioned.
monthly fees should be why theres no other predatory monetization.. yet here we are
Thing is we already know what's gonna happen and even worse than that is there are still gonna be people sucking up to it

Called this out the gate with the trading post 😂
the idea that the token somehow reduces bots and gold farmers is hilarious, as if we dont remember the hordes of moonkin bots in every expansion that had the wow token.
There I was in Drustvar shortly after flying was dropped in BFA. I was trying to level my herbalism with war mode on. As I went to pick a flower a flock of birds flew down, turned in to moonkin, obliterated me, and flew off with my flowers...
Excellent vid, 10/10 tone. Summarizes my feelings perfectly.
Don't be the Blizzard everyone memes you to be and destroy your biggest, most universally loved W in years. Please guys.
When it comes to Bliz greed I just can't be shocked anymore, but sadly people keep giving them money so this will just keep happening.
Blizzard f***Ed up again?
Oh, so it's just another Wednesday?
It's not even shocking when they do at this rate. It's expected at this point.
Buyers and subscribers who keep handing Blizzard money
Thank you, you spoke what everyone is thinking about Blizzard. Greed has taken over and money is the objective there, it is not making something fun for people to enjoy. One would think that after what, +20 years of experience? They would just deliver what the people need, and the love they got, the fan base, the money, they have all! But no, they want more yatchs. mostly every industry is corrupted by greed and money, music, art, videogames, people just do things for money, not for the passion to it's craft. Fame and money is the new god.
Exactly right. It's not just blizzard. It's the entire entertainment industry AND the majority of this world. Money is king and it's really a shame.
I haven't even resubbed to use the trading post yet, and now I'm likely to avoid the TP entirely, because I knew from the start that adding in the TP was going to involve real money some day, and lo and behold, 5-6 months later they show their hand...
Blizz charging for OW2 PVE/BP, D4 charging for a BP/cosmetics shop, and then we have wow with:
Subscription fee
Expansion fee
Utility fees
Store mounts
Trading post coins
WoW tokens
WoW has basically become their most over monetised game, and it's so very sad to see my favourite, long-time MMO go from being a game that was fun to play, to a game where cool stuff is being stripped and sold for extra cash...
Dang. I didn't know EA had a sister company.
I tried Dragonflight out for that free month. I got other stuff going on so didnt want to commit to a purchase/sub right now. But these little coins were a neat new feature, I thought.
Amazing to see it like this so soon. Amazing in a bad way.
Another slap in the face to their community.
The only thing surprising about this was that it took this long to be implemented
This was always the plan
If you thought otherwise, you are a fool
But don’t blame the PR department for this
Blame the greedy executives like Bobby
PR department can’t do shit if the people above them tell them to STFU or find a new job

@@zirilan3398 yep

The fact that you can pay for it now is kinda scummy but expected.
If you can pay for it, you should be able to earn it.
@@realkaibr their excuse will be that you don't have to pay.
So this is WoW as become: a glorified Candycrush.
Yeah I'm about done with Activision Blizzard forever.. they keep pushing their main customers away.. the fans that made Blizzard big in the first place..
Why is anyone surprised? The other shoe was always going to fall. Surprised it took them this long.
Ive been playing since 2004. Blizzard has had so many ups and downs. I felt like Dragonflight had that fun passion i remembered, I even got my husband to play and he is enjoying it. If blizzard really puts that coin crap into effect ill be so disappointed. If i wanted to play an overmonetized cash grab game id play merge mansion on mobile.
But wow has been a overmonatized crap game for about 10 years now.
I started playing WoW two weeks after launch in 2004 and I played all the way through until MOP was announced. After MOP was done, I came back for WOD, Legion, and BFA until Shadowlands was announced. When Classic launched, I was there on launch night and played through to the launch of TBC when I quit a month later. Last month, I came back for WOTLK as it was my favourite expac and my game time ran out today and I won't be renewing it. I'm finally done with WoW forever.
Well their highest earning game is Candy Crush Saga so sadly yes.
I've been saying this since Cata - WoW will never suddenly die, instead we'll see more and more attempts to cash out and sell Chris Metzen's soul as the game slowly bleeds out.
If they do this I’m done playing wow because it really shows the “change” that the developers have been touting that they made was a complete farce and a bunch of talk.
WoW's target audience are not gamers anymore. They target people who simply like buying and collecting stuff, not necesserily playing video games. People who don't have any hobbies, who can barely muster an hour a day for themselves and their only pleasure in life is buying shit they don't need. They don't want to earn stuff in game because that would involve playing the damn thing.
blizzard: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
I quit WoW this week after 19 years. All done. Game is finished. Had a great run. Dragonflight’s lore is corny as hell and reads like a corporate DEI training manual. Paying for trading post items is asinine. I’m just 100% done. I don’t even want them to fix the game anymore, I want them to kill it.
Dude i came back to WoW one month ago and i loved the trading post. If Blizzard tries to monetize It throwing 4 cosmetics that would cost 800 per month (with a limit of 1000 per month and only one freeze), if that happens, well... They dont deserve any of our support for anything (like they actually do, duh, yes im watching u Kotick 😒)
Blizzard seems to WANT to make people mad at this point.
Unless they stop playing the games then Blizzard won't care.
Imagine paying for a game to have the opportunity to pay for the game's monthly subscription to have the opportunity to pay for this game's content.
Try eso its worse
Because these new icons each increase in increments of 50, it leads me to believe/hope that there are just new icons for the Trading Post itself. Does not neccicarily make sense to have so many different bundles to purchase on the shop staring at 250 and going up all the way to 1000. Only time will tell
But why does it need new icons in the first place? No, this is clearly meant to test the waters on selling tender.
@@richardshiflett5181 There's way too many "bundles" for this to be selling tenders. You wouldn't have a package for every 50 from 250-1000. They'd just sell 250/500/750/1000 and call it a day, not have 20 different bundles for sail.
I'll wait with my outrage until I know.
Sometimes with this company I just do a slow and sad sigh. I mean, I get the business aspect of it, but it doesn't mean me as a consumer will stick around for it and honestly I've more or less have cut off their games from my daily list.
They did something and the community loved it. Of course they'll need to fix that. Can't have people being happy with Blizzard now can we?
Biggest reason people play in WOW private servers: Blizzard itself.
@nixxiom - They learned their lesson from Immortal: they can abuse the public. They know they can and they need to while they can. They will push and abuse as much as they can... --------- and the wonderful developers who create all the beauty in WoW are living paycheck to paycheck while the corporate overlords buy another Gulfstream --------
"I can't believe blizzard is going to charge me money to do this!" *gives blizzard money* "I can't believe I just gave blizzard money! This is terrible and needs to stop!" *gives blizzard more money* "Hurrr durrr *drools* durr bad money blizzard greedy bad man take money" Lol the reactions to this cycle that happens month after month, quarter after quarter, year after year is more entertaining than anything blizzard could ever provide anymore. I say milk these people dry for every cent they're worth, at least the paradoxical nature of people questioning their own actions will provide free entertainment for the rest of us!
I mean, I could already feel the change in the third month. Challenges became more numerous and time-consuming and gave less progress. I feared they'd take the next step soon, maybe after half a year. But, no...they appear to do it way sooner.
I really hate this nickel and diming mentality. If they really will begin charging for Tender, I will uninstall the game. Why keep it around with a cancelled sub anyway.
My man!
Personally this change sort of killed my drive to keep playing. I quit for most of Shadowlands and decided to give Dragonflight a chance with how much the community was saying it was a good expansion. And for the most part I had a very good time. One of the features that I thought was exceptionally well done was the trading post as it present just another thing players could work on while earning neat little cosmetics and mounts. So with this change I'm just done. Uninstalled the game and frankly don't see the point of wanting to invest my time coming back if they're just going to try to nickel and dime the community instead of making them want to spend more time playing their games.
Did you unsub though? You can uninstall all day but if you forget to unsub it dont matter.
@@dracuhl8342 Yeah I remembered to cancel my sub. I mean, why would I keep giving money to a company for a monthly fee of a game that I'm no longer going to be playing. Otherwise I'd be needlessly wasting money.
The trading post will still be there? You don't have to buy it if you play to get the tenders anyways
@@lovropeter9988 Granted this information is just datamined from a upcoming patch so I may be wrong and these bundles might just be rewards we, as players, can earn for more tenders. And yes, even if they are purchasable, I could just ignore them and keep playing. But that mindset of complacency is how Activision/Blizzard is able to add in more microtransactions and squeeze more money out of their community after already paying for the game and it's expansions on top of maintaining a subscription fee just to play the content. So instead I'll just move on to do other things with my time and money.
I'm so glad I quit, blizzard running the game down to the ground for the hundredth time is no longer my problem.
As soon as this was announced i called that they would use it to squeeze more money out of people, it was so obvious from the start....
When Blizzard initially introduced their community council some time ago, I eagerly applied for a position, submitting a detailed document brimming with innovative ideas for the game. One of the concepts I presented was the trading post. Now, I'm not implying that I single-handedly created the trading post, but to be honest, the resemblance is uncanny. I firmly believe that it's possible for two individuals to conceive similar ideas around the same time, but... I don't know. I wasn't actively playing World of Warcraft when the trading post was launched, but my friends had reviewed my document prior to my submission. They bombarded me with messages when it was released, pointing out the striking "similarities."
One crucial aspect outlined in my document was how the currency rewarded by the trading post should be handled. It was intended to be exclusively earned through tasks and, perhaps, a small amount granted to those with an active subscription. The intention was never for it to be traded or available for purchase. My entire concept revolved around the idea of including both old and store items on the trading posts. This approach aimed to address the issue of bullying that often occurs towards individuals who purchased certain items, while also providing an equal opportunity for everyone to acquire those items without having to spend real money. So, whether you preferred to purchase the items directly or save up for a few months, the choice was yours.
Like you, I'm absolutely furious. I had a feeling that somehow they would mess it up, but I never expected it to happen so swiftly.
This is a classic sign of a dying MMO, as the player base dwindles they add more ways to milk money out of the remaining player base.
Btw this month of august, they added a cosmetic item for 5 dollars in the shop and if you buy it you'll gain 200 tokens. They actually did it, i'm not even surprised. Atleast it's only one time but it's bad even still, we have already have too much monetization we dont need more.
The whole reason for the trading tenders was to eventually monetize it after getting people accustomed to enjoying it, because they know there will be targeted "marks" who will spend real money for extra currency!!
After monetizing the PvE in Overwatch 2, after their hyper monetization on Diablo 4, a paid game will so much monetization (regardless of whether its PTW or not!!), they now choose to do this!!
The dragonflight community are going to quit in droves if this is going to be monetized, and they can ill afford another exodus!!
Their path of self destruction is baffling!!
I'm glad i decided to have a break from wow next week, and I'll be seeing if it's true.
The speculation from the data mining alone is going to create the paranoia, which which will lose they subs.
Its officially a paid battlepass now
is that what they are doing for TP?
I mean, it's not, because this isn't being used in the game "now".
They’ve been talking so much for the past few months about wanting to make evergreen content in the game that they can continue to build upon, and the trading post was a great example of doing so. But if they make traders tender purchasable with real money, they are going to kill the trading post and it will go against everything they’ve been wanting to do with Dragonflight
The only thing they want to stay evergreen is their wallet. Thats the only content they care about.
@@dracuhl8342gottem
How people are still giving money to Blizzard voluntarily is beyond me.
they have asmongold who makes them accept this behavior
Might as well go free to play at this point since the subscription money doesn't seem to to keep them happy anymore.
This is a new low even for Blizzard.

I like how the complains of the wow fanbase increases reciprocally with the amount of money they give to blizzard lmao
I always had troubles undertanding the horrible decitions blizzard make as a company, but with time I eventually realize how deep they actually understand the stockholm syndrome of their players, and how good they are exploiting it.
I think for many people this is more than just a hobby - it's their identity. I can understand why Nixxiom and other content creators go back since they make some money back. I still am in the Discord for my WoW guild (even though I don't play) and one guy was complaining about this when another guildie says it is not a big deal since it's only cosmetics - of course the one complaining then says "yeah, I guess". I feel like it's a cult.
@@melissas4874 I would honestly say 'yeah, i guess' to someone who says 'it's only cosmetics' because I have long since given up on trying to argue with people who think like that.
Wasn't it said by them at the start of the trading post that they wouldn't monetize them?
Blizzard thinking process: Make a feature--->Everyone likes it----->Monetize it
So true! I hope this video gets big and blizzard will change their minds.
We need Asmongold reaction to this video.

"You can't buy this on the Store. Yet." was the mindset I had about this the moment it was announced. The bar of expectations for Blizz is low and they never fail to fall short.
I mean I’ve been saying this since they pulled from the store. They attach tenders to it in game give it a few months of data to see what people gravitate towards. Then they will turn around and make set amount of tender in the in game shop for x amount of dollars. So that celestial steed mount may cost 1000 tendies but if they sell 400 tenders for 5 dollars you still are paying 15 bucks for said mount. I also hope this does not happen. It has only been data mined
I am shocked... that it took you this long to realize what Blizz has become. If anything I am surprised they didn't try to demand money for your character drawing breath at this point.
watch them add some phone game gatcha energy points in a few years. you can only spend so many energy points doing so many things until you have to pay or wait to get more energy points LUL
Are you though? I mean the game has been going downhill for a very, very long time.

@@Daminionz They already have it in the game and have for a long time. Why you think they keep flasks, oils, enchants, etc in the game and keep making end game harder and harder? For immersion? lol. No. To keep their hands in the pockets of people who are too lazy to farm it themselves that will just buy a token instead.
What are u smoking? They demand u to pay real money for your character drawing breath since the very beginning. Its called a monthly subscription and if you dont pay it your character gets frozen...
There’s no way they weren’t going to monetize the season pass-like system they added to the game. They frustrated players by not letting them earn enough coins to get all the items already. This is the next natural step.
I personally don't mind only being able to buy several items. It makes you be more mindful of what you're getting rather than spamming the buy button. Not like the Trader's Tokens are hard to get anyways. Generally have that bar filled the first day of the new month and I don't even realize it til I happen to check.
If they do make things start costing money and drastically raising the prices of things to force people to buy money to get anything, then yeah, the entire Trading Post is essentially dead to me. If I want something directly, I'll get it from the Shop (which I have only ever done once). I will not buy Tokens every time just to buy out the Trading Post's overpriced items.
What you said about animators and modellers being spent on the store is the reason people don't understand "Omg if you don't like it just don't buy it" these troglodytes don't understand that resources are finite. You give an animator a deadline to make animations. Now, make it for a new mount from a raid you can play to get or new animations for a store mount. Easy choice for blizzard and shitty choice for us
If you didn't expect blizzard to monetize the Trading Post eventually you are naive
Drwgon flight sucks....let's stop pretending that its good just because they removed the mandatory BS
no man, its rly good. id ask you what you think its wrong with it, but i cba.
It’s good BECAUSE they removed the mandatory bs
nah it's good. shit take
Between this and OW2 PvE being monetized 15 bucks a mission pack... time to let them rot.
blizzard has 1 care, literally 1, more profit then last quarter that is 100% the only the the people who get to make all the big decisions care about.
Yeah, I switched to private servers. I'm done with retail/classic WoW
Blizzard realised that they can make money off of items datamined years ago
"You jumped the gun. *IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED!* "
I remember watching the Tali and Evi video on this system when it was coming out… and they were so hyped that it had nothing at all to do with the cash shop
I mean from the looks of it from stats online, the population of WOTLK classic hasn't dropped that much from the token??
But that aside, unless they're changing the tendies drop rate from completing the tasks it does the effect the people who enjoy the system?
Other than people now just being able to put in no effort or time to get the reward, which is the blizz method of "adding content" it seems.
Of course it didn't.
Because why would anyone be mad that you can pay for game time with all the useless gold you have instead of real money?
I stopped giving Activision and Blizzard money 2 months into Dragonflight. Love WoW, I hate the people who are now running it.
I mean we all speculated they would do this...
After all this situation, which one do you prefer Nixxion? ESO or WOW? You should make a video about ESO vs WOW, which is best?
Honestly...im not surprised. They were on such a good path to redemption but leave it to blizzard to fuck up again, its like they are allergic to good feedback.
Guess we will just have to wait and see, but for now i am gonna hold off on returning for dragonflight.
Let's face it: it was too good to be true.
We knew this was coming.....
If they do this they might as well delete the thing. No one is paying for that.
WHAT THE FUCK?!?! IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN SIX MONTHS YET, AND THEY'RE MONETIZING THE GODDAMN TRADING POST TOO?! WHY?!?!
Because some people have job and don't have all day to do bunch of weird challenges.
Seen this coming when they announced the trader's post. Typical Blizzard. You shouldn't be surprised
