I just took 10 minutes to do your little survey about what i would actually pay for in game. But the questions that were asked were very “leading” and I of course didn’t get a chance to give my opinion on the 2 things that matter most to me.
My time, offer an account that costs a little more and saves on the BULL%^&* daily grinds of wow, or integrates progression into the things THAT I ACTUALLY WANT TO DO. An adult account, I will pay you up to 2 dollars more a month to be left alone about this stuff. Very careful measures should be taken so this isn’t pay to win of course, but give me my time back
Your responsiveness to community concerns is bad, really bad, horrifically awfully amazingly terribly bad, in a bad bad way, that isn’t good, its bad. Return to being responsive to your community, on a class by class, spec by spec, issue by issue basis. I don’t care if you end up repeating your self 1 million times, that is in fact customer service at its core. Be Responsive.
There’s absolutely no way to do what you suggest without making it pay to win (even if $24 a year doesn’t sound like a lot). This expansion alone has proven even just things like a bit faster rep gain are problematic, producing a huge leg up in crafting by beating everyone else to the market with all the patterns first.
My concern would be that as soon as pretty much everyone was paying the extra to get around annoyances, more annoyances would simply get added to fill in their place and (potentially) then there would be yet another charge to get rid of those. It would be a huge snowball downhill.
EDIT:
I can not possibly agree with you MORE. The communication with players, while improving recently, is still extremely poor and definitely a LOT worse than at the start of WoW.
It hurts to say communication has been improving but is still poor all in one statement. Minding you, even the current poor communication here is better than what I experienced with NCsoft and it’s important for me to point out the severely poor communication from them caused me to cease playing any of their games.
Why am I not surprised about them asking for what you’d pay money for in game. These leeches really need to focus on better products and not slimey tactics.
That doesn’t indicate if the person completed a survey or not. It only means, assuming they did and assuming they were told not to say anything, they’re ignoring being told not to say anything. Which, frankly, being told not to say anything is very stupid, IMO.
Nope. End of Vanilla was the well known “Bus Shock” event. Where with the “shaman review” the class was completely ignored by the assigned communicator.
I mean the forum rules say you’re not allowed to mask profanity by using special characters to “bleep” out words, but the OP has that too. People don’t always do what they’re supposed to. Depends on what mod is paying attention that day.
it said we couldn’t show screenshots or videos etc of the actual survey, it didn’t say we couldn’t talk about it. what I gathered from it was blizz trying to find out what extra items and services included in an expansion pack would be most wanted by their player base, and also what price we are likely to pay.
How about an expansion that has a set progression path again that people play through. PvE use to be ultimately about you and your guild working through the smaller stuff to finally do dungeons, then heroics then 10 man raids and then harder 20 man raids.
Without the babysitter trying to create a thousand ways for you to go for the slightly slower kids. It was here’s our game. Go out and see what you can do.
Now I always thought building 10 man raids for guilds not wanting to do 20 man was fine but you guys didn’t make it any easier for people. And don’t scale down your 20’s.
They have added so much sports gaming into the overall game it’s just terrible. Doesn’t really even feel like an mmo anymore.
That dam already broke in like WoD. To be perfectly frank, there never was a dam to begin with. Susan had anyone’s back who wanted to P2W on launch day in 2004. Offering some of the stuff you have to jump through hoops to P2W in a more transparent way would be a pro-consumer move at this point. You’re grumping on a technicality, it is like being mad if a company changes the logo on one of their snack brands.
Well we have been lied to by blizzard so many times, its only fair we do it to them, especially when they are trying to slimeball new ways to extort money out of their customers. Also unless a company is paying me for my silence I’ll say whatever the Quibledyquop I want
