World of Warcraft Offers Bonus Currency, But at a Price

by

Summary

  • The $30 Enchanted Sweeper Bundle on Battle.net and the in-game store includes 2 Valentine’s broom mounts and 600 Trader’s Tender.
  • Fans can get extra currency for Trading Post in World of Warcraft by purchasing the controversial bundle.
  • Previous microtransactions in WoW also offered Trader’s Tender, but this is the largest one to date.

In a recent update on Battle.net, World of Warcraft has introduced a new package featuring two Valentine-themed flying brooms and 600 units of Trader’s Tender. This contentious $30 bundle is available for purchase until March 31, allowing fans to accumulate additional trading post currency within World of Warcraft.

In the game “World of Warcraft”, The Trading Post serves as a place where players gather Trader’s Tender by accomplishing tasks within the Traveler’s Log. This earned Tender can be swapped for an array of cosmetics, toys, and mounts. As February celebrates the second anniversary of The Trading Post, fans are given an additional 500 Trader’s Tender to spend. These extra coins can be used at special vendors offering popular items from previous collections at reduced prices.

Here’s a more casual way I’d express it as a fan:

If you’re running low on Trader’s Tender and want to top up, head over to Battle.net or the in-game store! For $30, you can grab the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle. This package comes with two cool mounts – the Twilight Witch’s Sweeper (purple and black) and the Sky Witch’s Sweeper (blue). Both of these mounts are a perfect match for the old cash shop transmogs they’re named after. But

The World of Warcraft Enchanted Sweeper Bundle

  • $30 bundle on the Battle.net or in-game store from now through March 31
    • Twilight Witch’s Sweeper
    • Sky Witch’s Sweeper
    • 600 Trader’s Tender
  • The mounts may eventually be added to the Trading Post, but no earlier than July.

Previously, World of Warcraft has given out Trader’s Tender in exchange for real-world currency on various occasions. Players can obtain 500 Trader’s Tender by purchasing “The War Within”, and they have the opportunity to earn an additional 500 if they purchase the Epic Edition, or a smaller amount for the Heroic Edition. Furthermore, the Corsage Pack and High Scholar’s Pack cash shop bundles award 200 and 500 Trader’s Tender respectively – priced at $5 and $25 each, the newly introduced Enchanted Sweeper Bundle offers the most significant amount of Trader’s Tender through microtransactions to date.

It’s clear that fans aren’t thrilled with the latest bundle. Although the Twilight and Sky Witch Sweeper mounts are well-liked, many disapprove of the increased monetization in the Trading Post. What seems particularly troublesome to players is the new vendors for the Trading Post’s two-year anniversary in World of Warcraft, which offer a plethora of affordable items that can be bought with Trader’s Tender. This setup appears to be enticing fans even more to purchase this bundle.

the Love Witch’s Sweeper, which is a new drop from the Love is In the Air instanced encounter for 2025, and the red Silvermoon Sweeper that can be purchased at the Trading Post for 600 Trader’s Tender. For those who want the Enchanted Sweeper Bundle, they have enough Trader’s Tender from this bundle. Players who haven’t utilized the 750 Trader’s Tender available via the Plunderstorm Plunderstore during the event’s first run can acquire it as well.
