No they want your money. They just dont want you paying for your sub with gold anymore. Greedy dicksuckers.

Doesn't affect tokens, doesn't affect subs, so yeah it's either to fight against Gifting one month at a time(for whatever reason) or to get people to use renewals so they can fuck them when they forget. Although I wonder, isn't it like FF or Amazon where you can activate the sub, then instantly turn the renewal off and they're obligated to provide the full month of service regardless? So as long as you do that it'd be fine. Also can't pay subs with Blizzard Bucks I think, while you can buy gametime with that, not too sure if there's a way to make Blizzard currency other than just buying it though.

So it's just like EverQuest when that went on a decline due to rushed expansions with uninteresting content that needed lots hotfixes and patches?

There was some video I watched a week ago about.. I think Gamigo? where the company would purchase MMO's and then change the monetization of the game to where whales could whale and barely implement any content until the game died. Funny enough, I could see a lot of parallels to how Blizzard has done quite a few of the same things.
Them adding a cash shop etc. to TBC just makes me laugh though.

Blizzard is increasing subscription cost in Brazil 35%.. for reference that's about 10% of the average monthly income in Brazil.
This piece of news coming on the heels of Bobby "Galliwyx" Kotick getting a 200M bonus, and the $200 Blizzshop coupon for 50 laid-off employees, it's like they want to make people leave even faster sometimes.

Maybe because the cash shop for live doesn't make enough money anymore? The casuals who buy pets and mounts may have already left.

Dunno why they don’t offer better transmogs or special emotes through the shop. I have to imagine SE makes some decent bucks from the mogstore on that sorta shit

Bobby's just looking to the Korean overlords for how well they get away with fucking their player base in the ass. It's actually a wonder anyone plays fucking video games over there at all with how abysmal the market is there for a player.

Bobby getting paid fat bank he couldn't give less of a shit what a bunch of neckbeard nerds think about a game he couldn't care less about. I mean from a shareholder perspective this assclown is your absolute hero. Shortterm profits over anything else. Milk what you got and move on once the cash cow dies.

Yeah, but FFXIV endgame is more in glamour than WoW, and the emote/gpose system is also way better. In WoW you get ... the sprite darter transmog set.
Maybe Blizzard could embrace the Moon Guard Goldshire crowd?

They could give a fuck less with TBC around the corner.
I know so many guilds and people that noped out on classic but said TBC is a 100% go. They said this before Classic launched. The only thing the masses wanted to know when Classic was announced was "You got some TBC in there?".
Blizzard is going to explode again, bigger than Classic.
