Blizzard is betraying their long time customers for more money. It’s only going to push people away. I honestly don’t see them following through.

Are you legitimately upset at this or are you upset because you cannot afford $89 but can afford $59?

I’m thinking it’s just OP jumping on the bandwagon to create more drama.

He is not so much upset as much as jumping on the flavor of the week mass post complaint train. Because we can never have enough of the same topic.

After the first couple I started muting those threads because the creativity really dropped through the floor.

I wonder how much of it really is attempting to monetize FOMO vs attempting to feather out the server load?

This part of the new xpac experience.

imho, i think people will be angry for about a week into launch and then will forget about it until it happens again next expansion.

It totally makes sense how they get away with it now.

This topic has been done to death, but it’s maybe worth considering that you’re overestimating the popularity of your position here and the vast, vast majority of Blizzard’s customers likely don’t care.

What is this?

sorry to disappoint but it’s just how I see it playing out. We have short attention spans and new problems will come along to be angry about.

Meh, it still sucks

Well, not to mention that this has no real negative effect on a majority of the player base. It’s easy to forget about when it doesn’t actually matter.

I think it has the potential to matter, it does say some things about their philosophy on what they are willing to sell. It’s nothing to be upset about -yet- but I can understand the concern.

Not we.

Why are all of them acting like if they don’t get it they’ll die?

This ^^^

Most WoW players don’t even look at social media for the game, they just play. If they don’t feel like paying for the special editions, they likely won’t give two hoots about whether or not someone else is a bit ahead of them in leveling.
