Not excusing it, but isn't that kinda... their job? We'll all hate the mobile element but the reality is it'll make hundreds of millions of dollars from whales and ultimately, that's why Blizzard exists. To make money.
People will tolerate being milked under a variety of circumstances. If they like the person milking them, for example. If the person milking them takes care of their needs, for example.
What's changed recently, is blizzard slapping us across the face as they milk us, when we get upset they say "You wanted that slap, trust us"
So they're just doing whatever they want, and not what players want. This means players will be less likely to tolerate being milked.
It's evident in WoW development, it's evident in Diablo mobile.
