With the recent statement from Blizzard announcing its intent to experiment with a wider range of micro-transactions in World of Warcraft, player base opinion seems to vary dramatically.
I put up a video showcasing the new transmog helms and other vanity items that are coming to the Blizzard store and asked people what they thought. More importantly, I put this question to the viewers: What if stat gear were to become available for real world currency? The resulting comments were incredibly diverse.
