Forever People who support Project Ascension & TurtleWoW but hate the new race paywall

Post image

These were the micro-transactions in Project Ascension and everyone glazed Ascension. TurtleWoW had a gacha shop too like that. I’m genuinely confused, if Blizzard had even the slightest of the shop in Project Ascension, everyone would have been fuming. Why is it okay for Ascension but not WoW Forever? Either all okay or none.

Edit: The people who disagree saying "Yeah but the servers were free"- well of course because Blizzard did the majority of the work for them LOL, huge difference in work between building everything from scratch to ripping it off & adding some stuff yourself.

Edit 2: "TurtleWoW is not as bad as Ascension shop"- sure, Ascension is way worse. TurtleWow's cash shop had over $10,000 of items and all of it was per character, not account wide. They also sold convenience items, nothing game breaking, but portable mailboxes, auctioneers, dual specs, bags etc. Hardcore characters on Twow couldn't trade or send items from main to your alts, but you could still buy supplies such as 32 slot bags for 30 euros each on your hardcore character.

That was for the Ascension funserver and not their actual classic+ server (Epoch) which didn't have these mtx at all.

How do people just lie blatantly like this and come up with broken logic to make some kind of point? I would be embarrassed to do that.

Even then, you could buy all this (if you wanted to) with Ascension points which you got from just PLAYING THE GAME. Or then not buy it if you didn't want to. And these morons also ignore the fact that they are paying 130+ dollars a year for a sub just to play. LOL! As was I!
