I am just wondering if i should put on a tin foil hat for thinking this…
The company would never admit this even if it were true.
WotLK Immortal
yah, but i would like to hear folks opinions on this.
The correlation would suggest it is highly probable to me.
People will buy the boost if it’s a good fit for them and they have the expendable income.
People will RDF if given the choice because that is what they enjoy.
People will complain about others enjoying or doing one of the two things mentioned above.
It is the circle of life!
You are welcome for the earworm
Well let’s just say RDF would not improve the possibility of anyone buying character boosts. That alone is enough for them not to implement it. It is possible it would lose them money and it definitely won’t increase their real life transactions.
Of course, were playing a game from a company that released another game that requires paying thousands of dollars on average to get a best item. (5 star gem in Immortal. Theres an online calculator to test your odds and see how much money you need to spend before you get lucky.)
Blizzard used to be a wholesome d bag company. Now its just a d bag company.
Anything and everything they do “for the player” only exists because its even better for Blizzard.
Activision-Blizzard is this side of the river’s EA.
People are less inclined to purchase the boost if they have an accessible means of levelling. RDF provides that - no gatekeeping regardless of class, role, etc.
Hard to sell me anything when the sub gets canceled for no RDF.
It would make more sense if there was unlimited boosts, but since boosts are currently limited to (1) per account, it does not logically follow that “NO RDF = MORE REVENUE FROM LEVEL 70 ICECROWN PASS SALES”.
I didn’t buy a Dark Portal boost, but I will buy an Icecown boost on each of my (2) accounts. And I want LFD/RDF, too.
Never thought about that limit. I just assumed you could purchase as many boosts as you wanted…
Clearly not the case. Like it’s obvious they aren’t chasing the cash cow with the boost or you could buy as many as you want. Use your brain for more than a base for your tin foil.
I don’t have proof or have not read anything but for some reason I have a feeling that the boosts will not be limited to one per account and act more like current retail character boosts.
Just a feeling.
Again that logic would imply you could just keep buying boosts. Fail logic again.
Follow the money. Blizzard will “listen” to the community and allow faction changes (for money) after only a few posts from horde wanting to switch to human for the pvp racial but will not under any circumstances change its mind on RDF even after the 100s of pro RDF posts and overwhelming support it has
What are you talking about?
i did not know this but apparently you are limited to one boosted toon per account.
Currently that is correct, yes.
That is a possibility, but if that were a long-term plan, then the question would be why didn’t that one per account restriction be lifted during late TBCC? One answer might be that there wouldn’t be the demand for unlimited booths at the end of TBCC.
My own view is that the Dev team is too incompetent to integrate a functional replica of LFD/RDF in the current client that we are using. In addition to said incompetence, there is no desire to try since this entire Classic project is something that Blizzard has never particularly wanted to do.
