Dood don't worry. At some point blizzard will realize they have enough money and they'll stop trying to make more of it. At least I think that's how it works.
Slippery slope. I hope all the people in this thread saying they don't mind microtransactions feel the same way 3 years from now when they're playing Blizzard's new mmo and they get stomped by some clown who spent 500 real dollars to buy the best weapons and armor in game. And if you don't think that's a possibility, ask yourself how likely 3 years ago you would have thought Blizzard would offer paid race and faction changes?
I just can't take this game seriously any longer. We need some videos that show the current status of development. All these articles detailing the in depth and wonderful features of Earthrise are interesting, but at some point you need to show people that this stuff actually exists in game.
So far Earthrise seems to be all hat and no cattle.
