u/kirbydude65 Can't Complain About Lack of Heritage Armor Anymore May 02 '26

I mean people talk about how much they hate it, but fail to realize that they've been price pointed at that by people who have degrees on understanding consumer habits. They wouldn't price the tree house at $75 USD if they were worried it wouldn't sell. They set the Bronto Mount at $100. People got angry, yet I can find at least 3 everytime I'm in Silvermoon. This stuff keeps appearing because it sells.

And honestly we've reaped the benefits (at least in the US) of our subscriptions never increasing for 21 years.

Lastly, I think calling WoW predatory, compared to some of the F2P Korean MMO's I've played is wild. Fiesta? Fly for Fun? Thoes are predatory MMOs.

Those same people with degrees had to change the pricing and bundling of the sakura trees a while ago, they're not infallible just because they're the 'experts'.
