Do you wish Wow had an item mall?

Are you tired of trying to keep all your toons in top notch gear like me?
Are you tired of relying on the random role of dice to determine whether or not you get that item you need?
Are you part of a guild where you have to wait in line just to receive items when you raid?
I Drive -Thru McDonalds at least 3 or 4 times a week.
i can get a snack fast and sometimes i don't have much time, because i just might be so hungry.
Or I just need to get back home really quick.
I love mcDonalds;I get exactly what I want really fast and it's not too expensive.
I love item malls in free games.it makes me feel better when i buy stuff because i know I have an advantage over those that are just playing because the game might be free. I always buy lots of stuff and the best thing is for those that don't like item malls,well they don't have to buy anything.
Wow is so item based,I think an item mall would be great idea to have on a new server type.
That way if you don't have too much time to play or miss a raid now or then you could just buy w.e items you want for real money.
I would love to buy a naked level 70 character from the item mall, that could be any class i wanted, that no one played before.
And I could put the talent points where i wanted and i didnt have to grind and level old quests and stuff from level 1.
A lot of people say Wow doesn't start till 70 anyway.
I hope Blizzard opens a new server type with an item mall; so you can buy epics and buffs and pots.

Play something else. There are plenty of MMOs that don't require you to be in 100% "the best" equipment to enjoy yourself.
Some people would say it actually ENDS at 70. IMO, it ended long before that.
I hope that someday posts like these, along with the gold-farming and power-leveling advocates, will realize how silly it really is to WANT to pay more, so you can NOT play the game you love and skip a good portion of the content. If the game isn't fun, don't play. Why is your need to have fun driving you to spend extra money on a game you don't even like?
Mcdonalds = Bad
Item Malls = C***
It would just ruin the game
Well,I like to think item malls actually cut back on gold farming.Because you would be skipping them and buying direct.
Also,I think some people enjoy the game even more with item shops/malls.
If not,well you don't have to buy anything.
I already know that's what you think. You didn't need to tell me. I'll explain to you why you're wrong.
"Buying direct," as you've called it, does not stop gold-farming. There are still plenty of gold-farming agencies for games like Silkroad, etc. that have item malls. All they have to do is make their currency cheaper than the standard, and they win.
As for people's enjoyment of the game, you clearly missed my explanation in the quoted post. If you're not enjoying the game you're playing, how is spending MORE money to NOT play the game going to help? Another thing to consider is that Blizzard will be the one deciding what you can and cannot pay for, and they aren't likely to allow you to buy your way out of important parts of the game (such as buying level 70 characters). Also, you have to consider how purchasing your way out of sections of the game will degrade that accomplishment. If you can just pay some extra cash to skip Gruul's Lair, then who will run it? Only the people who go there for fun, because the items will be worthless. Everyone and their brother will have the exact same equipment, only now nobody will have any idea how to play their characters because they skipped half the game.
EDIT: Really, when you think about it, WoW is so item-based that if you had the best equipment already, then why continue playing it? I didn't even get to the "end-game" (although I had more than one max-level character) but I got so sick of people talking/bragging/complaining about it that I quit out of sheer frustration. Very few people I met in WoW actually cared about "having fun." They all just wanted to get that next better item, so they could brag about it later.

ends at lv 70?so you cleared black temple?I hope that someday posts like these, along with the gold-farming and power-leveling advocates, will realize how silly it really is to WANT to pay more, so you can NOT play the game you love and skip a good portion of the content.
