Some raisin

I searched for a better explanation than this but I’m pretty sure you’re right and the joke is just kind of a stretch

Wow that’s cheaper than l4d2

thinking having access to the auction house without having to travel 2 minutes is pay to win in any way and that it constitutes half the functionality of an entire city

Doesn’t realize you don’t have to spend a cent to buy the mount

I’m just gonna copy and paste my comment from the other big thread about this but I want to ask: why are you lying with the post title? It’s $90, not $132.

TLDR: this is obtainable through in-game currency for significantly less than the price of the original brutosaur mount. Most long time players can afford it and I’d imagine most people who bought it did so this way.

Ok so I cackled when I saw the price on this thing but the more I thought about it, the less shitty it is. FWIW I am not a WoW lifer or Blizzard apologist. I got talked into Classic for a year then played a month or two of each expansion since before quitting but I know the background of the story. It looks way worse from an outsider perspective.

You could buy the original auction house mount for 5 million gold back in the day. It stopped being available regularly and now it’s available occasionally in the “black market auction house” and it always sells for the maximum bid.

To combat Chinese gold farmers, Blizzard started selling gold in a bit of a roundabout way. For $20, you can buy a WoW token to sell on the auction house. This token can be purchased by a player and traded for 1 month of game time. Some players dont pay a dime to play - gold is not hard to acquire.

When this new mount came out, WoW tokens were worth about 200k gold. You’d need to exchange them for 5 tokens to get this mount. 1/5 of the original price.

Now tokens are worth 330k. 1.65m gold. STILL significantly cheaper than it was originally.

Tokens will need to rise to triple in price to match the original cost which will still be a tiny fraction of what it cost a month ago.

By far the shittiest thing about this - and I think the only real reason to complain - is that the rising value of the token hurts players who pay for the subscription purely with gold as it adds a few hours to their “working” time in game. For context, watching TV and semi-afk farming will get you like 50k/hour. You can earn way, way more if you’ve leveled up a profession.

The other (not so bad) thing I don’t like about it is that…I hate those mounts. They’re HUGE and people just AFK on them blocking NPCs I want to talk to.

At the risk of getting banned for saying these aren’t ADHD traits…

These are just teenagers emotions lol

A bit extreme but there is nothing you can do to stop your messages from appearing on Windows machines except not sending them to anyone who might view them on Windows machines…which will definitely be nearly impossible in 2024

Uh…thanks, modders…?

Not when you have a video matrix and 14 zones of audio all at a central rack!

Had a client once in a high rise condo who NEEDED his TV in a weird spot and to get data and video to it, we had to hire someone to cut a 30’ long, 3" wide, and 1/2" deep channel across the concrete ceiling. Insane amount of work for such little benefit.

The building wouldn’t let them cut any deeper so we had to GLUE high strength cat6 down it and cover it with some special mud. Also, it was a 75" TV hung off a single-stud, single-arm articulating mount. He had to sign a waiver for that one

The woman I toured a few houses with last week is in her late 60s and I was telling her how frustrating it was to have lost so many houses to people offering cash deals 30k over list. She decided to tell me a long story about how she reconnected with a lost love and moved down to Florida with him. But being far from family was tough so they decided to buy a second house out here for when they travel. They got “an amazing house” by offering cash, 30k over asking. She lamented how it felt like they were taking someone’s starter home but her now-husband reassured her that whatever family they outbid just has to wait 20 years.

All I could say was, “you probably did a young family’s starter home. Maybe it was even mine.”

Congrats on owning two houses, I guess.

Just delay the release and finish the game. I’m not paying to be a beta tester. I want the game-breaking AND immersion-breaking AND fps-reducing bugs fixed before launch. Games are expensive and while I don’t think that’s a bad thing, there’s still a bar I expect it to pass before it feels like a good value.

Sorry for seeing someone slap their “crypto” name on a screenshot while not adding any value to it and assuming they were a crypto bro and not related to any field of science

Why is a crypto dork included in the screenshot when they just copied the first Tumblr comment
