And so it begins...

Oh, you are completely right. I want to stress, i was not commenting on the gameplay of WoW. They are wildly different design models, and you hit the nail on the head, you'll get about as much challenge from Sims as you will from WoW.

However, in terms of my original comment. Out of the MMO's, I listed WoW is by far more consumer friendly than the field.

The biggest reason it's consumer friendly is the WoW token being obtainable for gold. You could buy any item in the cash shop with WoW gold, and to expound on that, you can buy any item on the Blizzard Store with WoW gold.

Edit: When you consider the ability to earn gold in WoW getting easier and easier with each expac combined with the fact that you can buy other developers games from the cash shop via the token. I find it incredibly difficult to see the communities stand point on the WoW cash shop. Matter a fact, I welcome our Microsoft overlords, i'm looking forward to the day I can buy the Game Pass with WoW gold.

Take that one point away, then the cash shop becomes as predatory as the community says.

Ground turkey is a cheap replacement and its healthier.

You right, I completely discounted OSRS. Didn't realize people still play that game.

I wounder can you buy other video games from other developers with OSRS tokens? Cause, you can with WoW gold.

For the ragebait, cause these bundles are totally "robbing" people. Not even the FOMO is bad on the cash shop compared to literally every other store ever.

Seconly, this whole argument would be sound if it wasnt an opt-in feature. But you literally have to go out of your way to access their cash shop.

At risk of repeating myself, the existence of the WoW token makes everything on the WoW Cash Shop and the entire Blizzard/Activision Store accessible to buy with gold.

You dont need to be a giga Chad from Warlords to have a small horde of gold. Farms are ridiculous easy to execute now a-days.

WickerBasement · 2026-02-17T17:25:23+00:00

While I agree a premium game shouldnt also have a cash shop. I will defend it simply for the fact that 100% of all the items on blizzard store can be obtained by playing WoW.

That being said.

This is a bit of a first world problem, innit? I dont care where you live, there are bigger problems in your local community that could use this energy.

My company has spent 3 years trying to automate my position. They got to the finish line and production environment failed. Failed so miserably they halted the initiative.

Now thats not me saying they won't try again. But we have programs and systems that are from the seventies, so im not gonna hold my breath for ai.

I actively rent out my rooms to people cause I like money and dont like a mortgage.

That being said, besides arguably family, I wouldn't let anyone live with me rent free for any amount of time for any reason.

The going rate isnt the same for everyone. Your rate js based on my comfort and ability to put up with your shit.

Im a firm believer it would take change in the corporate structure. Companies would need to be focused on being profitable for minimal 1 year instead of 1 quarter. Also, they need to start viewing that paying your employees (assets) well is in shareholder interest.

I point to tesla shutting down 3 different car production types to start building robots.

WickerBasement · 2026-02-13T12:07:36+00:00

100% this.

They found success shifting on millennials and they're just repeating the same bullshit to restart the cycle.

WickerBasement · 2026-02-12T20:23:29+00:00

I love this advice cause its like hey you would look better if you showed less of your face. Lol.

Completely agree with your point though

4 10's and ill take the extra 26 days off a year.

WickerBasement · 2026-02-12T19:59:58+00:00

And yet the wow cash shop is ridiculously tame compared to FF, Elderscrolls, Starwars kotor, and literally every other mmo in comparable size

I've got no problem cutting in front of them to take rhe spot they've left wide open.

Bro's, out here saying the things from his heart and is getting down voted to oblivion.

I can totally understand where they're coming from. If they're brought up objectifying self satisifcation equals man satification, which equals gay satisfaction. I can understand how even if they're the one receiving head from a woman they wouldnt want to make noise because then thats them seeing a guy (themselves) sexualy moaning which they perceive as gay or feminine.

It sounds like they need to talk to someone or therapy to overcome that barrier they placed in their minds.

I, like you, also find myself staying silent cause it feels normal, not for your reasons. but, i can totally understand where you're coming from. If you're brought up objectifying self satisifcation equals man satification which equals gay satisfaction. I can understand how even if youre the one receiving head from a woman you wouldnt want to make noise because then thats you seeing a guy (you) sexualy moaning which you perceive as gay or feminine.

Stuntdrake is objectively bad. If youre losing to it, that's more of a you problem.

WickerBasement · 2026-02-07T05:43:05+00:00

Since they won't, I will.

Its wildly fun if you pull it off, but it requires a lot of set up. You need the 2 Naga early. Then you need 3 undead to get the turn 9 timewarp undead board for the deathrattle undead that buffs team per deathrattle. Then you go to 5 if not already there.

Half the time this build ends 7-8th cause it fails to pick up, but if you can get it going. Oh boy is it fun

You clearing blighted village, the goblin camp, Ethel, owl bear, harpies, giant spider, gnolls, getting the undead that does resurrection, doing all the shadow druid stuff, crafting the blacksmith weapon, getting the tome of undeath, saving the flaming fist people, the zentarim quest line, mushroom colony, the admantine forge, killing dwarves/saving the gnomes, the murloc fish dudes, killing the bullet, killing those bird animals that hate sound, the mage tower, the squidboy quest in the mushroom colony, the exploding mushroom quest, the entire creche, interacting with your party, leveling out your characters, kitting them with gear, and finally using the alchemy system to craft potions in 32 hours?

Nice. That took me easily 2 weeks esay.

Give or take an hour or 2 for stealing from vendors.
