![]() ![]() It may seem trivial, but it does mean the Trading Post could become a double-edged sword. This means that players who spent real money on the Medivh transmog will have extra Trader’s Tender to spend in six months’ time. Wares in the Trading Post rotate each month, and Trader’s Tender that players save up carries over. With the addition of the Medivh-inspired transmog set in Patch 10.1., Blizzard announced that while the set was currently on sale in the store, it would later become available in the Trading Post further down the line. ![]() Players can earn a maximum amount of Trader’s Tender each month and then decide which cosmetics they want to spend it on, and every item that goes for sale is unique to the Trading Post, or at least, it was. Trader’s Tender is earned passively through a variety of in-game activities, from raids and dungeons to quests and even pet battles. While World of Warcraft’s auction house economy has managed to remain stable and free of pesky microtransactions (WoW tokens aside), the Trading Post uses a different currency. Thus, the WoW token found a way to circumvent the ire of the player base, but that doesn’t mean World of Warcraft fans can’t smell Blizzard's money-hungry schemes when they show up. Players with lots of in-game gold can buy store items or subscriptions without spending real cash. The only way for World of Warcraft players to change real money into gear is to use the WoW token and then the auction house, a two-step process that’s more acceptable given it works both ways. World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's Trading Post feature also only sells cosmetics, but totally separate from any real-life currency. Blizzard has been very careful to keep every extra item offered in their shop purely cosmetic, mostly consisting of mounts, race-changes, and pets. Normally, to get the coolest cosmetics one must pour hours of dedication into the game. As a matter of principle as well as function, World of Warcraft players are quick to object whenever in-game items are available to purchase for real money. ![]()
