Okay, on the one hand I totally agree with you on the outlet prices.....ON the other hand, as someone who has gloated over getting to buy a mount on the Trading Post that previously could only be bought for $1500 on Ebay from a trading card, I can't complain that I bought one for $900 tender instead of $400, it is what it is. Sucks to be me like it sucked for them to be them I suppose.

Soul tryna make us forget BFA had four seasons, not three, including a raid with 12 whole bosses. They've carved so much out of the game over the last decade.

You should make bob's song a short would love that to pop up in my doom scrolling. :)

Kinda betting that the outlet items are just that...items that didn't meet a sales metric. If that's the case then you're taking a chance waiting for the outlet. Also, I wish that all gear was like PvP gear in that it has bonus levels in a particular "End Game Pillar". Like being able to craft gear at 619 standard, 626 in delves by adding some delve specific item (maybe the radiant memories or coffer key shards). Or gear that drops in delves is better in delves both in ILvl and in the bonuses...like having underwater breathing in delves or speed buffs in delves. Same for M+ gear making M+ easier. If they don't want to make different gear for every pillar, then make the additional buffs able to be crafted on...and hey, a new benefit for crafters too, but again, requiring something from the pillar in question as a crafting item.

Haven't players said for years that they dont even want all these affixes in M+? Most would rather have random fun buffs like Torghast. Blizzard is still missing the target.

When I first started playing the game (Wrath) I asked the guy who introduced me to WoW whether he felt bad that I was getting things easier than he did. I can’t remember what provoked that question but I know he talked about mounts. In vanilla getting a mount was a much bigger deal than it was by the time Wrath came around. Anyway his answer was “no it doesn’t bother me that it’s easier now. I have had it longer. I’ve been able to enjoy having it for the past years/months etc. so the benefit for the effort was that time” I remember that response everytime it comes up with people saying it’s not fair it’s easier now about all kinds of stuff. I don’t begrudge any tender I spent in the past few years because I have enjoyed the item for the past few years. More stuff is added every month to the trading post - there’s always more things. By the time something comes on sale then the moment might be gone. Why refuse what present me wants, just because future me might feel differently. Like that’s a way to talk yourself into complete paralysis and never doing or getting anything because “what if”. What I wish they would fix is the log. I still get majorly irritated that the log tells me I am completing objectives when I have hit the months limit. I wish it would stop ticking stuff off, or give me that tender. I get there’s a monthly limit to stop people grinding it to max and burning out (with how WoW players are that’s sensible) but it’s a cruel tease at the moment.

The items in the shop are WAY too expensive. These transmog sets and mounts shouldn't all be 650-800. Hell, the sabre mount from the outlet is 900 and the blood troll set is 800.

All blizzard needs to do to fox this is add a little time locked progress bar for tendor spent. That way people cant hold it all for a year without missing the timed reward. Maybe 1 timed reward per blizzard earning quarter. 😂

Yes, the pets Fullbelly and Teatuft are as big a gnome :D, using a magical pet biscuit makes them even bigger than a gnome!! They are so cute, their running animation is very funny :D

Trader points needs to increase

Outlet is simple really: buy the things you absolutely do NOT want to miss out on for months-years and move on. Then when things show up in the outlet you were on the fence because of price it will be a nice surprise.

This isn't real estate, this is a game. I've been using the stuff I bought months ago. People who "save" for it to be on sale are only hurting themselves.

Great video, but that last part really hits home hard. I really needed to hear that this morning. Thank you

NEVER WANT ANYTHING FOR THE TRADE POST MOST OF THE STUFF I ALREADY HAVE FOR WELL YOU KNOW PLAY THE GAME WELL LIVE IT UP PEACOCKS YOUR NOT IMPRESSING ANY ONE

Bliz relies n FOMO to make money every month. Few will accumulate tendies and wait for things to hit the outlet.

4:00 - my philosophy is: I don’t know if I’ll be dead or alive for next months Trading Post, so just buy what I want/can and don’t think too much about it

I think trying to minmax the trading post to this extent is just gonna drive you crazy. Not everything returned with the outlet vendors. Even if it did, buying the items you like when they first release let's you enjoy them for a full year+ before they're re-released to the outlet vendors.

Fugly re color / recycled items

Since the trading post is montly, having weekly sale on selected items during that month could've been something. It doesn't have to be all at sale, but lets say 5 random selected items gets a discount throughout the week of that month.

Expecting a market to be entirely predictable so that you can perfectly optimise your buying strategy is ridiculous and is going to lead to a lot of upset as we see. I suggest you drop that expectation. I was happy to see some of those sets back that I missed when not playing during Dragonflight season 2. You can see that Blizzard are using this end of season sale to encourage players to stay subbed until TWW season 2 starts. It’s an obvious tactic which hardly warrants shock and complaint.

The outlet discount doesn't affect you for buying new because paying full price isn't a waste since you get the satisfaction of having and using those items at your discretion without waiting for it to be discounted.

I agree with your takes on why it feels so long. But also heroic raid is just way to easy. My new guild that was 50/50 new to the game and veterans got Aotc a few weeks into the season. I wish it took atleast double the time. And our guild is to small to go into mythic.

Whining of this vlogger is so boring and annoying...

Wow players will cry no matter what.

This is the best time to be in wow after WOWTLK.. people who are bored with wow can go take a break see the world and come back when the season is at its end.. ALL of us cant be 24/7 on wow(if this is the only part of your life doesnt mean it has to be so for everyone else) so alt friendly is the best..

kinda weird to stretch your tender instead of just buying the things you like

Running a delve 11 as a solo player would be great if the gear upgraded to. I’m lucky to hit 630 in the next 2-3 months. My weekly cache drops the same item last few weeks

I feel like the trading post is kind of a flop. Only every once in a while is there something worth getting tbh. There are only so many plain shovels or plain wooden swords or garden tools that can be put out there before I stop caring.

I say buy at the time when it comes out. ,tomorrow is not promised

Trading post tender buyers remorse is the most casual complaint I've ever heard, and this channel has a number of them.

I think most of the rewards this month are... fine. Ther eare a few *really* cool ones though imo - particularly I like the Jade Polearm. I just think it looks neat.

@2:19 I don't see how it makes sense to get upset at old items being on sale. Yes, you spent more, but you also got to own that item when it was new. People buying it now spend less, but we are getting it late to the game. You paid 400 more tender, but there was value for that extra tender: You gained an earlier access and were able to be 100% sure that you would be able to get the item (since there's no guarantee when an item returns). You *could* just never buy anything new and wait to get it all on sale...but then you'll always be a year behind on the stuff you have and that's assuming that Blizz always returns these items and always returns them at a discount. There's no guarantee in that last part. I mean...this is just how sales work for everything, everywhere.

I think it’s worth noting that if you missed these prior, it’s possibly because you weren’t playing at the time. This gives you a way to catch up without being horribly penalized for it, which I’m greatful for.

I have been playing WW for four weeks now. I ignored Siren Isle the first week, so I think I did t10 delves with timewalking gear (I did one BRD raid). To me, Siren Isle is the pinnacle of pointless, boring contents with insufficient challenge to make the gameplay feel like fun. As far as gearing up, I have been doing timewalking weekly quests and delves. I have three characters at 80 and two running delves and pretty close to fully geared up (short of gilded crest upgrades). I was able to clear t11 with no deaths on the second week of playing, but they are a good challenge and I had to pull carefully and plan the pulls, which I do like. However, 15-25 minutes for a tier 8 vs. 45-60 minutes for a tier 11 for just a slightly greater chance to say hi to Zekvir isn't worth it, so it's good that the reward scaling goes beyond tier 8 in S2. I play too much WoW when I do play, so I'm not going to stay for very long, but I do have plans to try some S2 delving. P.S. For some reason, the restored keys on the vendor where not limited in any way except by how many undercoins you have when I bought some fresh keys today. Fresh/undocumented change or a bug?

It's free stuff, dude. Chill.

I disagree with your opinion. I have bought everything i have really wanted in the trading post and i have 13,000 tender saved still. I think having some restraint goes a long way. Also i dont think discounting items that didnt sell well is not a bad thing. There is a vendor where the stuff brought back wasnt discounted at all. Im guessing because those sold well when they first came out.

The length of seasons is very long but that's probably a good thing. If seasons were only 3 months, we'd have no time to enjoy finally being max geared. The rat race would get exhausting. It kind of does already for collectors with all the rather grindy mini patches which take months to earn everything (think Azerothian Archives for example). If the main seasons also felt too fast like these event patches the burnout would be exhausting for everyone, not just collectors. For me alts keep me busy mid to late season, for others it might be changing games for a while.

they've increased tender before on occasion, not sure why you'd assume it was a permanent thing

i dont play mythic plus, or pvp, im more of a raider, i thought they were going to cross reference this with a more recent achievemnt that everyone got to make it more accurate for the brutosaur mount and how many players there are. as someone who didnt play when the trading post came out, and for a good year or 2. im glad they make rotations and have this discount for items i didnt get. but i do agree i wish there was a way to get more coins besides buying a token or using real money. also as someone who wishes to use the token to buy monthly sub or even expansion upgrades, kinda sucks when prices skyrocket twhen mounts like these comes out. i think this will happen again if we get a flying mount with utilities on it. they can then keep having these mounts with different races or themes and people would buy them, but not at the 100$, maybe 50 or 30$. the prices will go down the more mounts like that we have access to. so they may have made this much because it was so new and game changing, but more they come out with, less people would buy since they alreayd have one. i wonder what other things people would be willing to buy at that price? what do people want that they would pay extra for in the store?

I like this down time because it gives me more time to go back and finish things from other expansions and farm mounts

i appreciate you for what you do.

I'm so happy I don't need to do m+ for my raiding any more.

U people are weird. One day u complain tha the trading post is expensive and now u complain cause blizz is offering a discount. Some people just enjoy being angry and stressed and this attitude is the reason we cant have nice things...

sorry but o well its an outlet fora reason man thats like getting upset that u went to jcpenny bought a coat for 400$ and then 2 months later you see it at an outlet store. get over it

I used my saved up in game gold for the mount. No real money. Thank you for the laughs and content Soul!

Do you think player's housing should/could be a gold sink? Such as upgrading it being locked behind a gold wall, like buying another tab in your guild/warband banks. Adding a room on, 5k. Adding a 2nd floor, 10k. Upgrading from base shack to cottage, to manor, 500k etc.

why can’t we have mage tower weapons return

I have no interest in M+ no matter what they do with balance or rewards. Delves are why i still play.

As a casual this tender is getting more and more frustrating.

Great video again!
