So now there's the possibility of having to buy a crappy collectable card game to unlock items in the game?

I might love the game, but there's no way I'm that sad. If the game is unbalanced by this action, I'll be cancelling.

I doubt they'll loose over a million customers before spring, especially not with an expansion already on the way.

This card deal is just another way to leech money of the hardcore few who spend every waking minute playing the game.

You can't remove avatar underwear. Thank god. I've seen far too many semi naked dancing orcs.

Before someone says "female night elf" I'd just like to point out that you're letching over a low poly computer character, most likely played at the other end by a bloke. Who's enjoying theattention. Probably in that way.

Even boxers and socks? ;D

The only form of clothing that doesn't affect your character in any way is a shirt.

It's almost always covered up by chest armor anyway.

Every other form of clothing is armor/stat-based.

I think they'll be expanding the non-armour clothes with this promotion then, either that or you'll only get some of the lower types of armour in a different style/colour.

It might just turn-out to be different hats! :D

They've got it the wrong way round.

People who play WoW probably played Top Trumps when they were five and now they play new fangled computer games.

Clothes generally is armour. Theres maybe a few items you can wear as clothes that isn't armour in the entire game.

EDIT: Just a misunderstanding me thinks =D

'Very important' compared to weapons, spells and armour?

This is an unpleasant little postscript to the thread I started about advertising in-game and those Planetside adverts Pand linked to.
The moment I start seeing any advertising or items only available for those who pay more than the subscription fee, I'm cancelling.
I don't need the ugly face of avarice appearing in a fantasy world thanks.

Actually, clothes are a very important side of wow.
