Ah, it appeared that you thought transmogrification cost real money, but you're just guessing the void storage will cost real money?
I'm very careful around the Hardcore WoW fans
Well, as I said, I don't think it'll cost 120g per item but if it does, and there are 8 pieces I want to change that's 1K which honestly isn't that expensive, especially since it's optional unlike enchantments.
But that's for one set. Back in the EQ days, we'd often bot each others characters if we needed an extra Tank/Healbot for a raid, and the running joke was dyeing all their armour pink to do it. That was 42plat 8gold for each the pieces, chump change to anyone over level 40.
Dyeing it back was quite tough. Because it required all of your original colours, and the dye reagents, and there's not a lot of room to carry all of that. (This was back in 2000 odd)
LotRo has the feature where you can slip in the armour you look like and the armour you're actually wearing as standard. No extra space required. (2007)
Now, it really doesn't matter if Void Space costs anything, you'll have players up until the 4.3 logging back in to ready themselves for something that's been promised since WoW Beta, 2004.
They COULD have slipped it in with Cataclysm pretty easily, or Wrath, or Burning...but instead of having a "finish in 6 hours" campaign, why not a Tailoring expansion? You're talking 2 months extra, say, per character to get all the gold/what they want to look like/showing off, etc.
And you imagine how well this is gonna go down in all of the RP/Furry/Cyber locations. That's a lot of extra RL money coming their way.
