Blizzard has announced it's adding the World of Warcraft Token to WoW Classic, an item that can be bought with real money and used for either 30 days of game time or sold in the auction house for gold. This is an item that has always been somewhat controversial among WoW players and, when we're talking Classic, it is exactly the kind of thing some players hoped never to see. Essentially the WoW Token allows players to swap real money for gold, without going through some shady third party dealer, and some folk think this just shouldn't be in the game.
It gets especially acute because players have different ideas of what 'Classic' should mean. Over on the r/ClassicWoW subreddit the conflagration was absolutely spectacular, with longtime moderator ZeldenGM absolutely going off on Blizzard and overturning rule 4, which prohibits discussions about private servers and cheats.
