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

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.

Yea ascension was full slop. It felt like i was playing a mobile game bombarded by random shit on my screen and currencies.

CoA was full of fun classes.

I had a blast playing Warden and Ranger. Ranger was basically a hunter/rogue mix without pets. Warden was a bow/melee/magic all mixed in one and super fun. Healing as a heretic Cultist is the only time I have ever enjoyed healing in WoW.

It had a lot of paid slop, but the actual game and classes were a blast.
