kyrozch	World of Warcraft: Blizzard Discourages Gold Buying News Discussion « General Discussion 3/04/08 4:59:57 PM Originally posted by heerobya I just think it's an unfair advantage. Like most things in Real life, the person with more money has the advantage. Why extend that harsh reality to the gaming world? The future of MMOs is going to sting for you, I imagine. Most games are going to be Free to play with microtransactions, it's a very successful business model and more and more companies are trying it out every day. Heck, even EA is doing it now. But you're right, you pay a monthly fee so you shouldn't have to pay more to keep up. Good thing Blizzard is not just saying "Oh well, it's their money." then. But seriously, nobody HAS to buy gold in WoW. If people actually have trouble making money in WoW, they should work on improving their methods, not complaining about inflation. Is inflation bad in WoW? Heck yeah, last time I played large prismatics were like 30g each. But there's nothing in the game except maybe Black Temple gems that are not obtainable by even casual players. And aren't they letting you buy BT gems with heroic badges soon?
kyrozch	World of Warcraft: Blizzard Discourages Gold Buying News Discussion « General Discussion 3/04/08 4:03:25 PM On one hand, WoW is so freaking easy that I don't see why anyone would need to buy gold. The best gear is obtained through grinding honor or raiding. Virtually no money required. Which leads to my other point, maybe if Blizzard made their game more dynamic and less about mindless grinding and raiding, people would have NO reason to buy gold. Power leveling on the other hand... It's already really easy to level up in WoW, so there's not much to do to counteract that except let people be level 70 right when they open their account. ;) Some people are just too lazy.
