I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

People will buy it. And then they will wonder why content quality declines and more and more micro transactions appear in a game they bought and pay subscription for.

The capitalism will always look for the easy route to even more money, and monkey brains with need for status symbols will follow.
