Same here, it was a wonderful game when started, also we are now talking about crypto and blockchain, like when HS came out none of that was a thing (I mean the NFT part and the ownership of NFTs in game, ETH came out in 2017 with smart contracts and HS came out in 2013 with the first beta and went fully live in the next year I think)

I defo understand your view about the "problem" and idk, like it seems now that if a game it's not on the block-chain does not deserve to be played, I think we are still years away from having proper games on a block-chain with the ownership of your items (NFTs) [and by that I mean games that are actually enjoyable to play and not being played only because of some $ that can be made on it], we are getting there definitely but it's not going to be as fast as some people imagine, FOMO is just FOMO, then everything slows down and comes back to earth, so yes in your view it is a problem because you are in WEB3 and owning you asset is huge for you, but 99% of the world is still behind this shit and does not have a clue, so for them it is not a problem but just a normal game.
Blizzard is a business that makes money and brings a great player experience to the players (or at least they used to, I haven't played their games in ages so idk now!) so paying to buy some packs in a game that brings you endless hours of fun it's not a "problem" in my opinion, maybe yeah its lack of ownership is not cool for people like us, but normal people are fine buying shit that they don't own and this is not going to change as quick as we may want, it's just the way things are in a Capitalistic society run by Corporations. (All of this is IMHO)

We may be the first people that see this as a "problem" and hence we are shifting to WEB3 and P2E games with real ownership, but honestly 99% of the games out there look like shit and the good ones won't be out in just a year or 2, it takes time to make good stuff and we can see it with GU, how many years in alpha and beta?

Cheers :)
