A pretty fancy transmog set causes stress in World of Warcraft. Because many do not see the point of having to spend so much money on it.
Just yesterday in World of Warcraft the trading post for February went live. For many, a small dream probably came true, because anyone who has always wanted to channel their inner “Magical Girl” is getting their money’s worth.
However, there was also a bit of disillusionment, as only the pink set is available through the trading post. The black set, which has a somewhat dark Gothic style, could not be found. Some wondered where the set might come from – and now we have the answer:
It has landed in the shop for a proud €30.
What kind of set is it? The “Robes of the Twilight Witch” is a new transmog set that embodies the look of Japanese Magical Girl characters – but with a dark twist, in the colors black and purple. This light “Gothic” look had already fascinated many fans when the sets were discovered in data mining months ago.
Why are people angry? This is due to how the set is offered in the World of Warcraft shop. Because if you only want to buy the transmog set, you are out of luck. It is only available in a bundle, together with a mount, the Twilight Sky Stalker. This is how the proud price of €30 comes about.
Together, this may be a quite acceptable price when considering that mounts have since cost 20 € each.
However, considering that both items included in the bundle are essentially just recolors of previously existing items, frustration rises. Moreover, because you cannot specifically buy the transmog set individually, you have to pay the higher price to get the bundle.
Can the set be obtained in another way? Yes. Those who possess particularly much gold can also simply buy the set – as usual – with the WoW Token, instead of spending real money. But even then, the whole package is worth just under 1,000,000 gold pieces, which is quite a hefty sum.
At least: The description of the offer states that the set will later also end up in the trading post, but not until “3 months after the offer in the shop has expired” – that would be in the best case June 2024. Anyone who is not in a hurry for the set should just wait a few months and then buy the set for trader currencies without having to shell out €30 now.
What do you think of the set and the selling method? Fair enough or just cheeky?
Blizzard has also clarified things that should not come to the trading post.
