This game is bringing real life problems: capitalism. Every thing cost gold.

Tbh classic anniversary is a case study on human greed begging to be written.

But to be honest, you can play WoW without having to pay for everything. Just turn off that FOMO switch and enjoy the game.

Thats what im doing rn. Im lvl 38 almost 39 as a druid. Im crafting almost 90% of my gear and i just got cooking to 300 and fishing is in the 280s. Its not a ton of gold fishing and cooking but its something. Im planning on skipping my mount at 40 and grind for the warden staff ao when i hit 43 i can buy it.

You can’t do this in an MMO, the community IS the game.

No, you can’t. Who said you have to pay gold to maintain friends?

Hardcore Solo Self-found is my way to be rid of all this BS. I just play the game by myself, no one can beg me for gold, no one can charge me for runs, I don't give a single fuck about the auction house, it's great. Pure, unadultered enjoyment. I'm not sure if SSF is also a thing for non-HC realms, but if it is, I highly recommend it.

You can still group and do dungeons etc, but you don't get to participate in the "late stage capitalism" part of the game anymore.

This is the way. I play just like you and never had any hard time finding a group or a raid.

Good thing anything you can buy in WoW is a luxury item.

Dragon Ball and WoW both exist because of capitalism. Go be a commie somewhere else.

Any system of governance and the means by which it’s funded needs to be under constant scrutiny and criticism. You saying this does nothing for anyone but rich people who will gladly take as much as they can from you and leave you in poverty. The whole “but you consume x product made under capitalism, you can’t criticize it because you partake in it” is such a lame mccarthyist talking point.

Do you think only people outside of an economic system or system of governance can criticize it? Because that’s what you’re saying if your logic and morals were consistent. Following your reasoning only non Americans can complain about America. Which I know for a fact you don’t believe.

Take a look as to whatever knee jerk reaction made you skip logic and think that was a normal thing to say though. Socialists just want you to make a good earning while providing you with healthcare that won’t bankrupt you. But you’ll act like an ostrich with your head in the sand like the elites want you to because somehow criticizing capitalism means you can’t enjoy anything capitalism creates. You guys are scarily entrenched in making your life harder because rich people who benefit from capitalism tell you you do too, while robbing you blind day in day out.

acknowledging the real world problems with capitalism comes off as communism to the kids apparently
