World of Warcraft’s $90 Mount Is So Popular the In-Game Auction House Is Selling Out of WoW Tokens
Blizzard’s World of Warcraft is no stranger to costly in-game cosmetics, but its latest super expensive mount is so popular it’s causing a shortage of WoW Tokens in the in-game auction house.
I already disrespect WoW and Blizzard players in general. This is entirely in character for them.
They'll keep doing it if it keeps working
I guess if this was all I did outside of work and sleep, I'd probably buy it. Mailbox and auction house access is priceless.
But, I got shit to do and mouths to feed, so, I don't WoW no mo'.
As an occasionally returning player, I think the ah access is massively overrated. What is it that people are buying from there that they can't buy in the capital, but at the same time must be available on the road?
I have need for an auction house off road maybe once a month? Probably less often. And when I do I can just log onto a banking alt located right at an auction house, mail it to my main and grab it from any mailbox (engineering has portable mailboxes too by the way).
For farmers this effectively eliminates the need for an auctioneer alt. Now instead of sending mail to your auctioneer, you can now farm and when your bags are full instantly list it on the auction house. This is especially important on early markets (lets say new patch or expansion) as the prices go down quickly. This feels very much P2W for a full price game with a subscription.
It’s kind bad that it’s only for a limited time. People who are not paying now will have a mechanical disadvantage that cannot be overcome.
I wouldn’t mind as much if this was always available, but locking it up after a time feels like it’s selling limited time cheats.
Booooo.
