I dont mind them making pets and some mounts buyable, even some BoE gear. The BoE gear is normally only worth it for a bout 2 weeks into a new patch and then by then it is farmable anyway so its only going to be for those gamers who want to have the best ilevel from day 1 lol. Also with this new transmog stuff they bought out, it could make them money if they start offering nice transmog sets for money. I don't mind the way this might go. 1 thing is, i hope they dont start offering achievement mounts for money or things which take more than just farming to get for money. Or it starts taking things away from the game/achievement | ||

So ppl who buy those items safe around 1 hour per week of doing daily quests and they arent even guaranteed to get an item from one of the extra rolls. In the worst case, they pay money for nothing. I really dont understand all the rage Source: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/7763486854?page=4#61 thats how it started in EQ2 and they just gradually added more important items every month until it was almost pay to win. you think they are adding an ingame store just to sell a a few items you can buy on the webpage anyways plus charms and xp potions? They have different plans clearly. | ||

They will not make WoW F2P for a while, not atleast in the next 2 years anyway. Maybe when TITAN is out will they think about making WoW F2P | ||

I really dont understand all the rage Please tell me how to get 50 lesser charms in 30minutes. Farming rare mobs took me more than an hour (probably 2), plus travel time etc. I raid twice a week and outside of that I don't really play wow, so I got the greater charms maybe every 3rd or 2nd week. I thought that was okay, since I didn't play all that time, but if you can really buy +xp (=forcing you to buy it or go fucking crazy when trying to level an alt) and lesser charms I will definitely unsubscribe. | ||

if you consider that 70-80% of all WoW players are dps and most of them still do all of ToT in LFR, where the queue time for each of the 4 wings is at least 30min, you have more than enough spare time per week to get those 50 charms. only tanks and healers should even consider to use this micro transaction | ||

Here I'll put that question in poll form. Note that all the microtransactions listed below are arguably purely cosmetic. Given that WoW has a $15 subscription fee would it be acceptable or unacceptable for the following cosmetic microtransactions to be added: Poll: Pets? Acceptable (46) Unacceptable (17) 63 total votes Your vote: Pets? Poll: Mounts? Acceptable (40) Unacceptable (19) 59 total votes Your vote: Mounts? Poll: Transmog gear? Acceptable (33) Unacceptable (26) 59 total votes Your vote: Transmog gear? Poll: Transmog gear with higher quality art and effects than usual? Unacceptable (42) Acceptable (18) 60 total votes Your vote: Transmog gear with higher quality art and effects than usual? Poll: Flashier or higher quality spell animations and effects? Unacceptable (49) Acceptable (10) 59 total votes Your vote: Flashier or higher quality spell animations and effects? Poll: Dance studios? Unacceptable (37) Acceptable (20) 57 total votes Your vote: Dance studios? Poll: Updated and higher quality character models? Unacceptable (51) Acceptable (7) 58 total votes Your vote: Updated and higher quality character models? Poll: Extra character customization options (e.g. hair, face, etc.)? Unacceptable (23) Acceptable (14) 37 total votes Your vote: Extra character customization options (e.g. hair, face, etc.)? Poll: Any achievements (e.g Hand of A'dal, heroic boss kills, etc)*? Unacceptable (60) Acceptable (3) 63 total votes Your vote: Any achievements (e.g Hand of A'dal, heroic boss kills, etc)*? *This is any achievement, e.g. you can buy Hand of A'dal, despite the fact it's no longer available, you can also buy achievements saying you've cleared the latest raid tier on Heroic even if you haven't. Poll: Existing cosmetic raid items (e.g. Lightbringer's Tabard)? Unacceptable (48) Acceptable (7) 55 total votes Your vote: Existing cosmetic raid items (e.g. Lightbringer's Tabard)? Poll: Cosmetic zones (e.g. like Darkmoon Island)? Unacceptable (50) Acceptable (3) 53 total votes Your vote: Cosmetic zones (e.g. like Darkmoon Island)? Poll: Player housing?

Unacceptable (44) Acceptable (11) 55 total votes Your vote: Max level characters with no gear? Poll: Capital city of an expansion (quest givers are outside)*? Unacceptable (49) Acceptable (3) 52 total votes Your vote: Capital city of an expansion (quest givers are outside)*? *This is the capital city of a continent in an expansion. It's a cosmetic microtransaction because the quest givers are outside, and because you can continue to use SW or Org for mail, AH, trade chat, repairs, etc. Poll: Battleground maps of existing formats (e.g like Twin Peaks)*? Unacceptable (49) Acceptable (2) 51 total votes Your vote: Battleground maps of existing formats (e.g like Twin Peaks)*? *This is a cosmetic microtransaction, because it would only be offered for BGs where the format already exists. E.g. WSG is CTF, so a new CTF BG, like Twin Peaks, can be added as a cosmetic version of WSG. Poll: Full cosmetic raid dungeon (bosses drop only cosmetic stuff)? Unacceptable (37) Acceptable (3) 40 total votes Your vote: Full cosmetic raid dungeon (bosses drop only cosmetic stuff)? Thanks for participating. | ||

 Pretty much think the top 4 statements will be implemented, then from there onwards it will be interesting what else they add in, but i don't want them to start adding in things to divide the community in terms of, buy this and u will be here in this Pay2Win only zone. Also i don't want them to start letting Pay2Win on achivements/special gear, raid tabard for example or raid gear/awards. Even raid mounts i don't want them to implement into this system, or it just pisses off people who are hardcore in PvE. Transmog stuff will be cool to implement and i hope they do, i could do with some and i cba farming old content ;_; Lol already swung from my votes xD Guess not so many people like this idea :S People should think about this though, the more people who purchase micro transcations, more chance of Blizz lowering the monthly fee, or even scrapping it. Especially when TITAN is out Oh also, on the character design thing. They are implemented improved physics on Characters to make them have fingers and toes and better facial expressions by the time of the next expansion | ||

The Tilliers (Farm people) are really quick too. Fly West kill a few mobs, plant few seeds and your done. It takes me 30minutes on a 471ilevel PvP Disc Priest so im sure would take others less | ||
