Once again, Classic isn’t about an improved version of anything, in fact its about not improving things at all. The only reason you got an improved mail system is because Blizzard was just being lazy.
It’s like people don’t read the news of the game they play… blizzard has made tons of changes already and will keep doing so.
Pull your heads from the sand
I’m not necessarily defending the ah ui. I don’t have a significant problem with it, but I don’t try to play ah mogul or anything like that. All I was saying is if people are literally just clicking buyout on the very first thing that comes back in the search no matter what the price is… They kinda get what’s coming to them right?
Listing low bid price and high buyouts gets your auction to the top of the default list, but it takes one single mouse click to resort the results by highest prices, which is typically stacks with starting bid close to buyout, then you scroll to see what the cheapest stack is. I get wanting things to be as easy as possible, and I think it’s fair to say the auction house could be better. But if consumers are in so much of a rush to buy whatever that they don’t bother looking at the price, I genuinely don’t care.
After reading their changes, I’m kinda for it. A lot of the extra bells and whistles wouldn’t work right in classic but the commodities thing would go a long way towards dealing with the walls of linen and copper in the most fair way possible.
However, if there’s to be a commodities market like this, buy orders are crucial to making it work. I’m trying to move some extra Dark Iron bars, and I don’t really have the time to sit around and yell about it in trade for hours. So, it’d be nice to know what people’s general price point is on the server: I’m the only one selling these so even historical add ons are only reporting back my own auction prices.
World of Warcraft Classic tripled subscriptions in August, according to new research from SuperData The original release of World of Warcraft from 2005 brought old players and new ones back into the realm of Azeroth, with subscriptions growing an estimated 223 percent from July to August. The amount of players is still lower than what they were during last August’s Battle for Azeroth expansion, but retail WoW updates tend to pull in lots of players in general
This is directly from one of the articles pertaining to this.
Growing from 1million by 223% isnt 2 million.
Just WoW. The meme saying 1+ 1 =4 suddenly makes sense.
First off, the article ASSUMES Subscription revenue, but that’s not what the quoted chart says.
The chart only refers to “Top Grossing Games.” Since Blizz hasn’t released sub numbers in forever, and have repeatedly said they include the shop in their numbers, that chart is a combination of many things.
I grant you that subs increased when Classic launched. However, to say they doubled or tripled is probably false, or at the very least, you don’t have enough evidence to show that based on that chart alone.
Edit: As an example, I purchased a 6 month sub because of the included mount, and I’ve barely played Classic and I did this in August.
