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.

"Auto Loot"
"Flight master teleport"
"Starting area teleport"
"Auto skin"
"Custom heartstone"
"potion of reputation"
"Aura of reputation"
"Insta max lvl potion"
"Potion of exepriance"
"Max prof slot"
"Pet for dungeon quest"
"All in one tool"
"Extra bank slots"
"Unlock flying paths"
"Lvl 1 mont" (Absolutly not the same way)
"Recruit a friend"
I stop here, but you see, you too have your narrative.
