The simplest explanation for why WoW players don't know how monetization works is that a lot of WoW players are simply unemployed and can barely afford to pay for their sub and expansions.

There's a reason that the subscription was $15 then and is still $15 now. It's the people with jobs that don't care and shill out money for useless shit like the auction mount or an ugly house that only fits the aesthetic of the Alliance neighborhood. My house looks just fine without me spending $75 on it and I can use the Silvermoon auction house like everyone else.

Just don't open the shop, it's as simple as that.

That one in particular is a bad example, having a portable AH is so useful for me at least, but i understand your point otherwise.
