Using the wrong term because it sounds harsher doesn't help your argument. It just leads to a semantics battle that makes everyone think you're whining.
A paywall is when something comes in that absolutely CANNOT be obtained without a cash payment. You CANNOT get MechaJaraxxus without having bought the pre-order. THAT is paywalled.
If you aren't paying cash, you are experiencing a time-gate. you WILL get access. You will have to WAIT for that access. You pay in time rather than cash, which is the currency F2Pers always have to pay in. If you want a label, you are being time-gated.
No, it doesn't sound as harsh as 'paywalled'. But you don't get to find the most brutal word you can find and fling it out just to make the situation sound worse. You're turning what could've been a discussion on how they didn't really need to delay Anomaly mode for gold spenders, which could be a valid point, into a war over words an a question over whether this really is the WORST! POSSIBLE! THING! that has ever happened in your life.
Saddest thing is that the OP started it off right and you can see how it really seems kind of sucky that it's set up that way. Then we get into 'paywall' and the rest is forgotten.
In any case, no it's not a paywall. No, being made to wait longer is not a paywall. Yes it's sucks that it's like that. That it sucks still doesn't make it a paywall.
guy arguing about the "paywall" and cash for like 10 huge posts could have painted someone's fence already and get those 20$ to play the game, for god's sake!
if you want to play anomaly mode now, you have to spend money
Nothing is locked behind the paywall
it's clearly locked behind paywall, why you guys trying to defend the fact
Paywall is when something can be accessed to ONLY with money. This is not the case. You can choose.
i can't access it anyway, there is wall in front of me. yes, for month, but still
It's still not a paywall.
why you tell lies? "Anomaly mode" is accessible only if you purchaced the whole adventure(via CreditCard only).
when you buy adventure wings separatly(by Gold) then you haven't access to this mode.
it's simple - Blizzard greediness.
wrong, you're saying that anomaly mode is only accessible to people who buy with money which is not the case
you will get the anomaly mode when you own all wings, be it you bought them with gold or money
Hold on! the all buzz was about `Anomaly mode` by Gold and right now. and seems you cannot see things clear.
just try to remember Naxx time and compate it to Dalaran. This bullshit is like a pre-sale gifts a-la Hero portraits, but in slight variation. You will get this cool mode(No) after the last wing will be available.

Alright, ill bite. :)
Lets call it a time-gate for non cash payers?
But can we agree that it does suck anyhow?
I have carefully read all articles and threads prior to the release and seen all the pros and cons of buying it via gold or cash before deciding. There was no mention what so ever about anomaly mode being time gated for cash only. If I had known that I could have chosen the cash option to not miss out on anything as I could easily afford it as a grown working man.
Blizzard has failed in informing all players about this issue which is actually bad advertising ( to the person who said it was good ). They could have earned 20$ off of me.
And another fact that kind of bothers me is that some people here say " so what, just wait a few weeks". That's not really true. They said each week the anomaly changes and who knowns when they anomaly feature for the missed weeks will come back. Im not sure how many versions they made but theoretically I could be waiting months for whichever anomaly was featured this week.
With all that said. I only started this thread to figure out if I was right. wasn't looking to change the world or blizzard's way of releasing content. They've disappointed me plenty more in the past 15 years. I still love and enjoy most games and owe blizzard some of the best memories I have growing up.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

and BTW even golden zayle is not paywalled:

mate, why does Blizzard do not announce `F2P users are no longer in their interests`?
because it's very strange to see things like Dalaran. It is adventure for all players, but exclusive mode is not accessible for F2P guys.
(pls do not write me: this mode will be available to you in mid-june`)

It sucks, but not as much as a real paywall. Not even close, because 1 month wait is pretty much nothing.
EDIT
So much whining.. because waiting 3 weeks is so god damn hard. HS community will never ever be satisfied with anything.
Im not whining at all. I only made this thread to get an answer. Im perfectly fine with the game and loving it.
sorry, mate. if my text insulted you.
but i really have no idea why you offending this f**k up.
