My thing is, and has always been, mounts and other cosmetic items in a cash shop have NO place in a buy to play and mandatory subscription per month game.

The mounts aren't mandatory, however for a company like Blizzard in this day and age where they're not gonna get new players they can put mounts like that up for those who want to pay for it. Plus you can buy it with gold in-game.

I dont think the mounts are the biggest issue but this argument that, "you can just buy it with gold in-game" falls apart because there's still money transitioning to Blizzard in the transition, even if its not from you. It's from the person using the token.

That's fair but I just think that the issue can also stem from people saying, "I can't afford this." or something or other but they can at least afford it with the gold they've made in the game.

From all the things I've seen about this topic, the problem people have are with having a cash shop in a game you need to both buy to play and purchase a subscription, not, "I can't afford it."
