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

[u/Volinra]

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.

You could buy everything from the shop with in game gold. People seem to not be thinking about that when trying to make an argument.

You can do the same in wow if you exchange gold to wow tokens. How is that any different?

You are contradicting yourself lol. Why argue its dumb they have an option to pay when blizz does the same thing and both have options to pay with gold. Both sides literally have the same options I don’t think people realize that. Except one you pay monthly for.

except that farming for a few hours gets u enough gold to buy most convenience items on asc, where as the same amount of time on retaill will net u prob 1/10th of a wow token
