Warmane Staff Question - Store

[dzianis]

It would really nice, if they made pinata purchasable

[jmsvanbuskirk]

Ogre Pinata is an attackable toy often exploited for boss pre-pulls. Blizzard nerfed it much later on because of this. Unlike retail though, it isn't a rare item here and can be purchased by anyone so by having it in the shop people can heavily abuse it.

That's the only reason these guys bring it up. Obviously it wasn't just cause it's a cool cosmetic item lol. They won't say that because they don't want it nerfed here.

It's a good point though. Why have a distinct raiding advantage available on Lordaeron and not Icecrown?

I couldn't care less about PVE. Make the Pinata unusable in raids for all I care. I'm just an item collector and want it lol. Seeing it (and many others) so easily available on the Lordaeron store is torture as an Icecrown player.

I beg your pardon? If this topic was brought up earlier, I wouldn't have hid anything, especially after analysing the Pinata in another thread:

I will say it in clear context - I don't deny the possible applications the Ogre Pinata has in a PvE setting and why I'm personally interested in purchasing it on my Icecrown character. However, I'm perfectly fine if the warmane staff prohibits the usage of the Pinata in raids if it means that this cosmetic item (alongside the other toys) gets included in the Icecrown coin shop.

This reminds me - I'd like to extend my congratulations to bcparker1 for making a detailed list of all missing toys on the Icecrown shop (Obnoxious spoke about the necessity of implementing bigger batches and not just one item). Of course, what the staff's final verdict will be on this topic, we will see.
