Re: [Money] In game store?

said by Thaler:

I dunno. Once it's at that point, WoW will need to decide if it's going F2P or subscription-only. An MMO can't be both at the same time.

not at all. Even if lesser charms were available for real money, they are so easy to get otherwise it wouldn't be remotely mandatory... therefore, no need to conflate an F2P ultimatum. Just roll with it... I don't see it ever being more than an expensive "catch up" mechanic. Seriously, the only problem with an eBay toon is you have to /kick them from the raid when they failhard... but if they are good, who cares who they got where they are?

I didn't say that lesser charms were/weren't easy. I was saying that it's buying (even easily) obtainable gear. The impact it will have is debatable, but it's still a mechanic from a F2P model.
