Criticism
Many users have complaints about BC-Only items, TBC-Only items, and OBC-Only items, stating that it is not fair for BCers, TBCers, and OBCers to be able to buy certain items while they are unable to. There is also some criticism about the places in which gear can be used, such as using weapon gear in a socializing place, thus causing a chaos in the socializing place where the victims are unable to retaliate to the oppressor.
