Love is in the air, and to celebrate, many games, including everyone's favorite MMORPG, World of Warcraft, are holding annual Valentine's Day-themed events.
But this year's event won't dazzle anyone with its shameless gold sinking accomplishments. Over the next two weeks, players running around with his 70,000 gold burning a hole in their pockets will be able to dump their hard-earned coins straight into the abyss to earn his ridiculous 10 achievement points. can also do.
The outcome in question is called “Support Your Local Artisans.” Players will need to talk to her NPC related to Artisan's Consortium. Things are going very well so far, right? Now, players need to donate 70,000 gold.
This achievement is clearly just a not-so-sneaky way for Blizzard to impoverish its player base. For an avid WoW player, 70,000 gold isn't a lot. Still, over the years WoW has managed to balance everything out by introducing various overly expensive things like mounts to prevent players from essentially becoming dragons sitting on gold, and the gold-hungry I've been trying to tame players.
However, these items usually give players something nice in exchange for earnings…but not this time. And the community took to social media to voice their displeasure.
“Achievement hunters and money-making enthusiasts are here. I can 100% promise you that you will not waste your hard-earned 70,000 gold on 10 achievement points.”
and:
“If anyone wants to donate that money to me instead, I'll take it.”
But there doesn't seem to be a workaround here. If you want to get all the achievements for the Love is in the Air event before it ends on the 19th, you'll need to part with 70,000 gold. If not, try your luck again next year…or spend that gold on something actually cool instead. But what do I know?
