I thought this was a joke but it seems like it’s actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

    Can’t even blame Blizzard, it’s the people who keep buying this shit that are actually the problem.

    Blizzard is the problem because they are implementing the macrotransaction. The people who buy it are enablers but not the real problem.

      Transactions are from two parties, if the product didn’t sell they wouldn’t keep doing it. The product wouldn’t exist if it failed to sell in the first place.

      Plenty of shitty products in the world that never get sold, and then stop being produced.
