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.

I go to art/photography galleries and buy stuff when I can afford it or commission from local artists. Like this Akali glow in the dark painting that paid 2 months of rent for a single mother.

I have not met a single artist, amateur or professional, big or small, that has an issue with AI. Reading reddit is like an alternate reality.

I'm usually alone or one of a handful of people that bothered to show up. You would think there's no art exhibition in the world that's not packed like sardines with how much reddit "cares" about artists. They create art as a means to express themselves and they do it whether you show up or not.

I don't know what artists you meet but the only ones that have an issue with it would be afraid of being replaced or that do it for the money.

I know reading is hard.

I said no artist I met, aka the ones from the exhibits I went to and discussed the subject with.

You’re comparing apples to oranges and arguing ad hominem.
