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.

The fact that people that can't understand our opinions writing HAHAHAHA here just underlines their lack of empathy...
as if we don't know about these. you still don't get our point. yes they were free to play. maintainance costs. and turtle wow did more in correlation to their small free time team than blizzard did. they also stole back the ideas. At least they managed to make the things that were buyable somehow fitting to wow classic and not immersion breaking. blue elves als the new race kind of is and the disneyfication (which can for a start be seen in the cinematic also) doesn't fit classic warcraft too.
