IGN : Blizzard’s World of Warcraft is no stranger to costly in-game cosmetics, but its latest super expensive mount is so popular it’s causing a shortage of WoW Tokens in the in-game auction house.
World of Warcraft developers discuss the game's decades-long lifepsan and why the game continues to be the biggest MMO ever.
The construction of the new Housing system in Azeroth is underway, and we’re taking you behind the scenes to give you an early look at what the Housing development team has been working on. Watch your step, and don’t mind the dust. Hard hats are not required.
Mounts are perhaps WoW's most coveted collectibles, displaying feats of strength or perseverance for all to see.
Yeah you've got D4 selling armor sets for £28 & you've got WoW selling mount with mail/AH attached for £60 o_O
The expansion is £35? which is really where I look at things In terms of value, so you Idiots that are purchasing this, it will continue to get worse.
What next? They'll add some poe spell effect store into the game -_-
I heard a $15 horse DLC for WoW made money for Blizzard than StarCraft 2.
Is this horse armour?
Still, can't really blame the company; if there's demand then keep testing the market to see how much customers are prepared to pay. That's a smart business strategy.
If you want to focus on blame (which is the top priority in this world, even though it rarely achieves anything because nobody attempts to fix root cause) then blame the people that buy this stuff. Which leads on to the question of why? More money than sense? They feel there is sufficient value here? There is peer pressure because someone they know has it? They are addicted to buying cosmetic DLC?
Give it time and we'll start seeing $70,000 packages like Star Citizen.
Dont hate the player hate the game, these companies going to keep trying us. To keep it 100 I would do the same thing if i owned a studio. Vote with your wallet people.
