Although Overwatch 2 itself has been changed to a free game mechanism, most rare and good-looking skin appearances and advanced combat passes are charged! The main content players complain about is the contradiction between the expensive pricing of items and the low efficiency of obtaining free Overwatch coins, which has made many players start to miss the loot box mechanism used in the original Overwatch game.
In the current version of "Overwatch 2" , free players can get 60 Overwatch gold coins every week after completing the challenge mission, which is worth about $0.6, which means that with a month of hard work, we can get a "salary" of about $2.4. However, Blizzard has arranged a price of $20 for most skins. Without spending money, players need to spend a lot of time and energy in the game to get the skin shape they want.
It is not difficult to understand. Most players are people who don’t want to spend money or occasionally spend some small money. Therefore, the price of items in Overwatch 2 has aroused everyone’s dissatisfaction. In this case, some budget-conscious players came up with a new way to hit World of Warcraft. In the latter, hardworking gold coins can actually improve the efficiency of obtaining the skin shape of "Overwatch 2" for free!
Although the above method sounds quite bizarre, it is indeed feasible. A player named "Everdale" recently shared the above method in the community. The new "auction store" system in "World of Warcraft" allows players to use the "gold coins" they earn in the game to exchange for so-called tokens. These tokens can be used to exchange for qualifications to continue playing "World of Warcraft" (point cards), or recharged into the player's Battle Network account wallet. Naturally, you can purchase the skin style of "Overwatch 2".
According to "Everdale" , the method he proposed is actually not efficient, due to factors such as the speed of players spending gold coins in World of Warcraft and the market conditions of the auction house. In addition, if you want to do this, you will also need to spend money to buy World of Warcraft’s point cards. What’s interesting is that even so, it is more efficient to get the skin shape of "Overwatch 2" through World of Warcraft than to play "Overwatch 2" directly!
This means that "Overwatch 2" itself has serious problems with the micro-transaction system. In addition, there are still many bugs in the game, such as: Black Shadow can still use skill cards to transport the target in the current version, and some hero characters (such as: Xiaomei) are temporarily removed from the playable list due to various problems. All kinds of problems make players in the community increasingly dissatisfied. However, Blizzard does not seem to be planning to change the in-app purchase system at present. They should be counting the money and counting it happily now. After all, "the free one is the most expensive one"!
