so the new store items don't appear to be the encrypted286 armour set sitting in data since 8.3 but they are the new items added in 9.1.5. There's also still a variety of other encrypted model stuff from 9.1.5. So we're still looking at a whole transmog set encrypted still.

this texture which was datamined and quickly encrypted later was called shopgametimebundlelunarnewyear.blp which didn't actually reveal anything. shopbundles915.blp also is also still encrypted which contained a new faerie dragon pet / faerie dragon bundle, and some other bundle.

we still have a "gronn" (uses gronn sounds) mount, some model that has a LOT of unknowns and textures, and another model with fewer unknowns and textures (likely the tiger new year mount). All 3 I believe appear in mount.db2 and of course pets and stuff

basically my own opinion, this stuff *seems* pretty much planned short term within 9.1.5 development and I think the timing is really poor. I get it, the 6 month sub dropping pretty regularly but still... I just don't feel great about this one tbh, but that's just me.

I'm kind of too tired to do the whole angry "oh no store items" bit, like... I've said before I'd rather the store just not really be a thing and everything be ingame but you can still buy WoW tokens so idk. I might use 6 month sub when 9.2 drops maybe.

adding correction here:

I'm not saying that these are actual short term developments, they just seem that way. Been in development in game files for a while, possibly in planning way before.
