I thought this was a joke but it seems like it’s actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

    This is truly lowest of the low type of scum behavior. Take something that was somewhat earnable in-game, remove it, then put the same thing up for an egregious amount of money

      It is literally earnable in game lol

      You can sell gold straight to Blizzard. Even at 360k per token, this is WAY CHEAPER than it was when it was originally introduced for 5 million gold

        You can not sell gold to Blizzard

        Edit: I stand corrected, you can purchase tokens and turn them into game time, but I didn’t know they could be turned into $15 battle net balance. This mount does, indeed, cost less gold than the original Brutosaur (or did before token prices skyrocketed)

        Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.

      I get being upset about it. But, ffs, get some perspective.
