Owners of WoW: Dragonflight receive a cool bonus in Patch 10.0.5 – promising more cool transmog.
Blizzard is apparently trying to make the purchase of the latest expansion “Dragonflight” more appealing to undecided players. For this purpose, they announce a new bonus on the purchase of Dragonflight, which can only be redeemed in Patch 10.0.5. Additional currency awaits all buyers.
What kind of bonus is this? Blizzard has announced that all buyers of Dragonflight can soon claim a bonus of 500 trader’s currencies when Patch 10.0.5 goes live on January 25.
The bonus will also be credited retroactively. If you already own Dragonflight, you can – just like all new buyers – collect it at the trading post in Orgrimmar or Stormwind when Patch 10.0.5 starts.
What does the bonus bring? 500 trader’s currencies are a decent boost and should ensure that you can get one or even two items right at the start of the feature. If you accumulate a bit more currency, you can even buy one of the expensive rewards for 1,000 currencies within the first month.
Trader’s currencies are available at the beginning of each month if you have an active WoW subscription. Additionally, you can earn trader’s currencies every month by completing special quests for the trading post – ranging from explorations to dungeon visits or completing achievements. There is a wide range for all player types.
However, note that the values of the costs of various rewards on the PTR are not necessarily final. Therefore, what you can get for the trader’s currencies could change by the release of Patch 10.0.5.
Fans are concerned about the success of Dragonflight: Although most players are happy about the bonus, there is also some concern in the community. Some fear that Dragonflight – despite being well received by active players – was not a great commercial success. This is supported by some special offers, such as an early free trial period for the ‘Caller’, a change to the “Refer a Friend” system, and now also the bonus when purchasing Dragonflight.
All these additional incentives create the fear that Blizzard wants to boost the sales of Dragonflight because it has not sold as well as expected – but this is currently just a suspicion.
Presumably, Blizzard’s financial figures at the end of the next quarter will provide more information.
