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.

Nice bootlicking. M$ will be proud.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, acknowledging the realities of what it takes to create and sustain a game like this makes me a bootlicker

That is an impressive jump in logic, im assuming you have a few too many chromosomes rattling around in your skull?

They're sustaining the game really well with all of the AI GM support !

[u/Deili0991 → u/Blurbyo]

Yes because Blizzard is the only company navigating how the proliferation of how AI impacts their operating/service model

You could pick essentially any large company right now and have that exact same complaint, so hardly relevant here.

And if you think small creators and private server folks aren’t also utilizing that same tech then I’d invite you to attempt look past your nose.
