    I’m gonna go against the grain here a little bit.

    I’ve never been particularly bothered by WoW’s approach to microtransactions. It’s all cosmetics and transfer/name/race change services.

    I understand the fear that even cosmetic transactions can drive game design decisions, but I just don’t think it’s that bad with WoW. It has certainly never been pay to win, and has never even really been pay for convenience.

    If someone wants to spend $20 on a meaningless mount I’m not really sure I care.

      Generally agreed, but I think the non-cosmetic services are too expensive.

      Some people also argue that the shops gets the best looking mounts, but there are just so many available directly in-game, that it never bothered me.
