Lol I mean how will you feel of your cell phone, ISP Cable, car insurance, mortgage payment, Netflix, Disney+ etc etc all started to change for 2 months instead of monthly payment?
Pretty sure people are going to be piss and look for something else. Good job blizzard in willing your own sub base.

Greed, Greed and Greed. I feel like I shouldnât be surprised to see this from Blizzard Activision, but it still pisses me off all the same.

Whoâs excited to pay an extra $40 a year to play a game that is already riddled with greedy business practices.
?
Wait nobody wanted that

Just found out about this today when I tried buying a 6 month sub with my token credits. My price increased from like $72 to $90. Blizzard greed! This sucks!

I spent the last five minutes on a âplease wait while we take care of some businessâ as I try to subscribe for a single month using the subscription feature.
Iâm going to complain about how long it takes to set up a subscription when I cancel it in a few days along with the absurdity that is just removing my ability to purchase 30 days at a time quickly.

I just logged onto WoW for the second time this month so I could help out a family member with game-time (for the last time). This thread had me thinking about things like pricing. So I looked into it a bit.
$15 USD = $18.91 CAD (currently, but the trend w/ the Canadian dollar has it between 18-19 dollars for the last year)
We currently pay $21.99 CAD for one month. Thatâs $3 more than the exchange rate. Since they want 60 days @ $43.99 CAD, thatâs over $6 that shouldnât be there.
Literally being your closest, friendly, neighbour⌠how do you expect me to believe that the extra $6 is somehow necessary? Our countries have been doing business for over a century. Even Amazon doesnât screw us this hard and itâs Amazon FFS.
Then the last realization hit me, I have 3 days until my game-time runs out⌠so suck it Acti-Blizzard. lol.
My deepest condolences to those screwed over by this. I suggest finding another company worthy of your money. To those that stay because this doesnât affect them, well, my condolences for the future because theyâll come for you too, in time.
Oh, and just to annoy the white knights⌠that 6+ Million sitting on my alts, yeah, it can rot away with my account. Wheeeeeeeee!! lmao.

So for me, this change pretty much ends my Wow playing days after over 15 years. I use prepaid credit cards to buy my time and you can not use prepaid credit cards to buy subs. So now I am forced to buy 60 days time and I usually only play for a few weeks and then take time off. So a two month sub is not worth the money to me. I guess blizzard finally found a way for me to quit the game.

I needed to quit WoW anyways. After 16 years its time to move on, the expansions get progressively worse although Legion was awesome. Plus nothing feels new to me anymore. I have had plenty of time though for other games and enjoying my time spent elsewhere.

No you donât. Youâve turned this game into a time played metrics nightmare and now youâre trying to scam people out of more money for a game that has received virtually no attention since itâs launch.
Scumbag company

They removed the option to buy game time without a recurring sub. Thatâs the problem, thatâs why people donât get. Itâs a pointless change that MAKES NO SENSE.

No, they did not totally remove it. You can still buy game time without a sub in a 60 day block. What they removed were some of the other game time cards/blocks. Here is what the current payment options are now.

I liked being able to buy 180 days added to my game time? Why would you do this?
