  • You can technically buy as many level 90s as you want if you buy another copy of the game, get the level 90, and then transfer the character to your main account each time. The team has talked about putting a level 90 purchase option in the store, but it hasn't been decided yet.
I don't know if I would necessarily call it "clever" because how do you expect them to prevent it from happening?

Battlechest $20
MoP $20 (Assuming after WoD goes live)
WoD $40 (?)
Transfer Fee $25

Now, if someone wants to pay $105 per level 90 then, by all means, I say go for it. If a 5-boxer wants a new team of level 90s after their RaF has run out and they've already purchased WoD on their main set of accounts, then that's going to total $525 -- No, thank you. Best case scenario is if you caught everything on sale (which they're coming up) and then the model would be something like this:

Battlechest $5
MoP $10 (Assuming after WoD goes live)
WoD $30 (?)
Transfer Fee $25

And even that is $70 per level 90 character (or $350 per 5-box team). If Blizzard ever offered free high-level characters through their in-game store (which I'm assuming they eventually will), they're going to be much cheaper than $105/$70.

Honestly, I'd rather drop $20 (at most) on a few Battlechests, RaF myself to 85 in less than a week, and then finish out the last 5 levels in a few more casual days of questing... all while saving $80 per account.
