I can appreciate it still rubbing people the wrong way but I don't mind it myself because of the aforementioned consistency. And the fact we still get plenty of free mounts and glamour.
Except for all those character advancement things they added so you can pay them even more to not play their game.

And we don't get anything in this game for free past level 35. The game has a box price, two expansions and a sub fee. If you don't pay your dues then you lose access to everything you've already paid for.


Also just because it's vanity doesn't make it ok to carve out of the game's rewards and place a second price tag on it. Glamour wouldn't be called the true endgame if cosmetics weren't considered content by a large portion of the MMO community.
