World of Warcraft Fans Aren't Happy With the New Cash Shop Transmog
09.04.2024 - 23:05 / gamerant.com / Eric Law
The Gladiator’s Ragged Armor, a new World of Warcraft cash shop transmog ensemble, hid the fact that it will be coming to the Trading Post in the future in a distant corner of the advertisement. The fact that this important piece of information was buried so deep has irritated many World of Warcraft fans, who hope this is not a sign of things to come.
The Trading Post is a shop where players can purchase transmog items from a rotating stock using an in-game currency called Trader’s Tender. Ever since the feature was introduced to World of Warcraft in early 2023, fans have seen former Battle.net items removed from the cash shop make their way to the Trading Post, and many new items have come with notifications that they may be added to the new feature once they leave the store.
However, World of Warcraft’s newest transmog broke this cash shop tradition. The Gladiator’s Ragged Armor is an ensemble themed after Varian Wrynn’s outfit he wore as Lo’Gosh in the World of Warcraft comics. The highly-anticipated transmog is available for $20 until the end of April, but unlike other limited-time purchases, Battle.net does not mention if the set is coming to the Trading Post. That said, confirmation that it will arrive at the Trading Post no sooner than three months after it leaves the store can be found in the ensemble’s tooltip in the in-game store.
This buried lead has caused no small amount of concern among the World of Warcraft community. While they aren’t enthusiastic about a $20 price tag for a single outfit, their biggest problem is with how unclear the plans for the transmog coming to the Trading Post were. Not placing it on the actual Battle.net page at all, while placing it in a tooltip only found in the game, left a poor taste in players’ mouths, who felt like World of Warcraft was trying to trick them into buying it.
The Gladiator’s Ragged Armor itself is a transmog players have been wanting for a long time. Fans had previously discovered evidence it was coming to World of Warcraft alongside other outfits inspired by iconic characters like Sylvanas. Hopefully, future cash shop transmog ensembles will avoid hiding these important details so players can be fully informed before they make a purchase.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and is the ninth expansion pack for the iconic massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft.
Dragonflight features an overhauled user interface, raises the level cap to 70, and introduces a new race and class.
