And note they said currently for wow subs and wow token leaving it open for them to change. Activision has turned you guys into a shell of your former self. Is the CEO planning on taking a 200 mil easter bonus?

Please revert the change.
This change sucks. I canât gift my friends a month of game time and I canât buy game time in bulk at a discount anymore.
...
I mean, I guess I could gift single months of WoW time to my friends by giving them the gold to buy a WoW token, but that risks getting a ban over Blizz mistaking it as RMT. 
Heard way too many horror stories of people getting permabans over sending huge amounts of gold to their own characters, let alone characters on a different account.
That, or let b.net balance be used for subscriptions.

Oh and I just wanted to note that although Iâve subbed for 10 years (cancelled recently) using the recurring option I want to voice my disapproval of this change.
It impacts me because it means that other players who want to play may no longer be able to and less people means a deader game world and that affects my experience. Also Iâve known people who have found themselves in hard times who have had game time gifted to them that enabled them to continue playing. I myself gifted a friend time a few years back when they couldnât afford it. So please revert this. The game is enriched by more people playing.

Actively looking for a replacement. Wow has been the only game I have played in years . I am sure I have missed some good ones . I have to say I do believe their time has come . Someone is going to benefit from their dumbazzery .
I hate that they took away comp stomp. It was the one thing I always forward to. It was amazing for getting gear and transmogs on alts.

Iâm heading for Lord of the Rings Online if I quit the game. Itâs f2p so if my budget means I canât pay for the sub one month, I just lose out on a few perks until I can pay for my sub again.
Others are heading for Final Fantasy XIV (A great game, but itâs another buy game time or sub to play) and some are heading to ESO (Elder Scrolls Online)
Whatever you choose to do, I hope you find a community youâre happy with.

Even if that was legitimately the reason for this change⌠I (and my bf) donât think itâs enough of a reason for this change. The bot problem is a real thing. But they are screwing a lot more legit players then they are bottersâŚ
While XIV is also a pay and sub games. Thereâs really so much more to do. Major patches are normally on a 3 month cycle (1 patch, last year, was delayed by 1 month, due to covid). And honestly, the developers have designed it, in such a way and even have straight up said that they donât want their players to get burned out. If some players need to take a break and play something else, they encourage it. Which is a great way to show that they do give a damn about their player base.
guess I wonât be playing anymore after my sub runs out since I only play in 30 day chunks. see ya

Squeeze last bit of pennies from players strategy. Squeeze em hard and tight bois.
This is basically saying âyou guys donât have $30???â
This change actually helps the bots sadly. Less real players to report the bots. People are quitting the game. I havenât found any official source saying they did this because of the bot problem. Iâm pretty sure as i said before using the bot problem as a scapegoat to hide the reality of this change.
lol no it doensât.
people quit games and return to games all the time. itâs a video game, not a life-long commitment.
because they didnât, that doesnât even make sense.
nobody is using a âbot problemâ as a scapegoat.
Nooo really? thanks stating the same thing
That makes sense considering doing research and reading
Yes people have been even in this chat you should read up
I donât have any idea what youâre trying to say and I donât care what people on the forum have been claiming, this isnât about bots. lol
I even said that.
Poor community manager sent on the forum to be sacrifice like a lamb.
