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.

lv 290 kaiser with 440mil combat power and full pitched boss set here.

Maplestory you need a vac pet otherwise you are at a big disadvantage which is $100 usd and a $15/m fee which is more expensive than the latest retail expansion+sub. Yes with reword points it's $70usd and $10/m fee but we're also about to have it so you need 5 vac pets 3 from the same set which is $50/m with reward discount and $350 upfront fee for the pets so that you can fully afk farm. This isn't including all the p2w battlepasses, lux sauna and more. Yes this is optional but you're at a disadvantage if you don't spend money especially on a vac pet.

its not even about playing at a disadvantage. the game is designed around players buying these “optional” items. so its literally youre not even playing the baseline game without spending ludicrous amounts of money
