Nobody is forcing you to buy cosmetics. They have absolutely no impact on gameplay. There's no need to screech about it every time they release some new ones :)
For me personally, I don't own any cosmetics and I hardly spend any money on the game (just 15 packs with real money per expansion) but it makes no difference to me if other people want to do so. Do you guys really prefer when the only thing on the shop was packs?
Honestly, it's funny when people complain about them releasing stuff for money, especially cosmetics. I mean, if they increased the cost of packs and bundles or something, then sure, let's make a statement about the games monetization... but it's just extra stuff if you want it...
This hot take is a tiiiiiny bit undermined by the guy who uses an avatar on a gaming forum of a "prestigious" (1k win for Warriord) class avatar award. When your position that "Cosmetics mean nothing to me, Lebowski..." and you chose that avatar route, that reason seems a bit at odds with itself.

Not to put words in his mouth, but that's exactly what OP is saying. He's criticizing those who complain that "Blizzard is, like, you know, like selling stuff again. SCAM! GREED!" Complaining about something that is entirely optional and has no impact on gameplay is, well, nuts.

As usual, most of you casual players/buyers are missing the point. They’re targeting the addicts/collectors/whales, and you’re not one of us, so you don’t know how it is to feel compelled to buy bullshit. Good for you btw.
I like the new cosmetics. I would like to buy (some of) them. But the bundle is to expensive. That is sad for me, because I can't use them and sad for Blizzard because they get less money.
To give that feedback and when Blizzard sees that the bundle is not selling well, may let them think about the pricing next time. So the rant may not be useless, even if you don't have to buy it.
I'm probably classified as a whale with the amount I spend and have spent on the game. Not sure of the exact amount but the answer is probably somewhere between 'way too much' and 'are you fucking insane??!'
Anyway, I have never bought any cosmetics aside from the Khadgar skin which was only $5 at the time. Personally I think the cosmetics are cool and if we could buy them with gold then I'd probably get some of them, especially for BG's. But no way I'm throwing real money at cosmetics. But I have zero issues with people who do. People are free to spend their money as they wish. As long as cosmetics stay purely cosmetic and have zero effect on actual game play then I don't see the problem.
Of course we all know that you get even worse RNG if you're playing with a pleb skin but that's just something we have to live with! :p
I don't care about cosmtics, but I also dont give a flying shit what other people do and don't spend their money on and neither should you. This thread and the greedy blizz thread get made every time a new paid cosmetic comes out. These forums are like Groundhog day.

Unfortunately actions are better than words, so when a new bundle drops, even if thousands of people mindlessly complain, at least half of those people will buy the bundle, invalidating other's people who may have a better or actual criticisms about the monetization. I agree with OP because I always see posts that seem surreal and give absolutely 0 constructive criticism in fsvor of better bundles prices/offers, it's always "Ah Blizzard you ain't fooling me with this one, it's a SCAM"
This hot take is a tiiiiiny bit undermined by the guy who uses an avatar on a gaming forum of a "prestigious" (1k win for Warriord) class avatar award. When your position that "Cosmetics mean nothing to me, Lebowski..." and you chose that avatar route, that reason seems a bit at odds with itself.
You mean the portae that is obtainable through playing and JUST through playing? Why should he change it if he finds it cool? That does not meant that just because he dont care about skins that he should not use the free ones... jesus...

I didn't pay for it though? And I'm saying I don't care about people cosmetics? What is your point here?
I hardly spend any money on the game (just 15 packs with real money per expansion)
Woah there big spender. I haven't spent a cent since Naxxramas.
Do you want a medal? I mostly buy the 2. biggest packs on each expansion or the big one when the hero is cool. I am such a bad person who is spending some money on a game I play... omg I am a bad person who pays also for players like you... I am so baaaaaaad!

I actually cheer for cosmetics.

You don't like it, don't buy it.
DOWNVOTED!!

And why is it that you care what other do with their money?
I don't buy cosmetics with real money either, but if anyone want to spend their money in anything they want, who are you to tell them they shouldnt?
I really don't get people sometimes.

You know, you are right! I missread it.

Take a walk on the wild side...

And i don’t even play Paladins
I don't mind paying for bling with in-game gold; but I won't spend hard-earned cash.
Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.
Well if they push selling cosmetics then maybe f2p will became more accessible(more free packs etc.) but this is still blizzard we are talking about.
The prices are kind of insane thou :)
