Feeling a budget burn? Go World of Warshopping! : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Feeling a budget burn? Go World of Warshopping!
Filed under: World of Warcraft, Fantasy, MMO industry, News items, Opinion
Are you sick of the economy but still a ravenous consumer? Are you trying to save real life cash but still craving the trendiest threads? Are you looking for the some of the best cheap entertainment money can buy? Step into the ultra-violet tanning light and embrace the penny-saver known as World of Warcraft!

Tom Endo over at The Escapist delivers an interesting editorial that just might have you looking at WoW in a new and exciting way. It isn't about using the game as a means to replace social encounters; it's about using the game to replace expensive social encounters. Tom may not personally feel you need to use WoW as a coping mechanism for poor economic times, but you certainly could. For Tom, it's all about expressing his consumerism in a new way.

Go window-shopping on WoWHead! Keep an eye out for that new glowing sword! Save up all our pennies and splurge on a vanity mount you don't really need! Remain envious of and try keeping up with the Boneses (they're undead after all)! WoW really is a perfect alternative to explore the need for greed, so if you're feeling the pocket pinch, why not give it a try?

Disclaimer: Shop-a-holics may exhibit early symptoms of WoW addiction. Buyer beware!
