Actual usable items? I lol'd irlOriginally Posted by Vecter
The thing about these transactions is that they are fluff pieces. They have no outward bearing on the game itself. Having a pet or new mount won't down Sindragosa. I may look cool (huge stretch) but I won't play any better. Blizz will never sell actual usable items/gold as that would drastically change the game (and they are doing that just fine themselves)
Why would they sell everyday purples? There is a much smaller market for these items since gear is replaced in every new content patch and for sure every expansion. The only thing I could see them selling are trinkets, but even then meh, replaceable unless they do something unique like turn you into a goat or something.
Why sell straight up gold? No reason to since they control the flow of gold in the game. They control the price of gold by how much quantity there is given a certain number of players. However, there is another way to sell gold without selling gold.
Now they could have chosen to sell the steed in dalaran for @30kg, kinda like the mammoth tundra mount or the mechano-chopper that is 16k-20k currently. Current market value 60-90 bucks.
They have chosen not to and thus skipping gold sellers/farmer directly and selling gold themselves via the direct purchase method.
I have no problem with this but there shouldn't be a double standard.
