Disappointed with Paying for Early Access to the New Expansion

[Blinkforme-crusader-strike]

Ya im goint to give it a few weeks or months see how it plays out then see if i want to get it. Until then i will just be a classic andy

As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters!

I wanted to share my thoughts and hear what others think about the decision to charge players for early access to the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion.

I got the epic edition because the mount and thirty days game time made economical sense. Doubt I’ll have time to take advantage of early access. It wasn’t a selling point for me. I prefer to retain the collective experience, good or bad, of launch night.

@Sendryn-sentinels

Then it’s not early access. It’s just… access.

why continue replying to me after our prior exchanged? its unpleasant.

[Blxckcrown-altar-of-storms]

So don’t buy it.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. But then again, I don’t remember 99% of the interactions I have with people around here, because I can argue with someone about something and then turn around and agree with someone about something.

I don’t hold grudges, I don’t let people live rent free in my head, I treat each conversation differently and move forward pretty easily.

If you dislike speaking with me, then you can go into your preferences, then users and add me to your ignore list. Just remember to hit save. (Though I really wish we all just had easier access to ignoring people, instead of hoop jumping. I dislike that it’s annoying for people to do when they want to do it.)

And I guess since you’d rather make this personal instead of having a conversation about the topic… have a good day.

You ever meet a predator IRL?? I feel like you haven’t.

This is rather accusatory and rude. You don’t know my life, but thank you so much for assuming you do just because of my choice of vocabulary.

And, for what it’s worth - it absolutely is predatory. I’ve explained myself already in this thread.

[Sumwun-tichondrius]

@Washyerback-proudmoore

but thank you so much for assuming you do

I don’t assume I do. I do assume you don’t/didn’t/haven’t and feel pretty secure in that. your posts are trash, your logic is garbage and your use of the word is the equivalent of a child fake crying and screaming because their way wasn’t met.

I’ve got to move on to the fun folks now. careful not to drown in that river you’ve cried out. Predators are often found near the water ways, but you already knew that.

[Washyerback-proudmoore]

I have not insulted, at least not intentionally, a single person in this entire thread. As a matter of fact, I have been respectful in my stances here and have not gotten involved between others when things got heated, even though I may have agreed with one of the sides.

And yet it’s you who proclaims that I’m the one crying a river. Lol okay bro. You sure are looking great up on that high horse.

Just quoting this for when he deletes his comment, lol. Insulting others left, right and center.

[Sumwun-tichondrius]

lol are you my brother? haha

All this information has been available for months. Now that EA day is here, people are fuming because they are missing out. Either you didn’t have the money at the time of preorder or you thought it was an unethical business practice. Either way you made the choice.

Personally, I have always loved the extra pets, toys and mounts that came with collector’s editions, so when they are announced, I start saving my cash to be able to get them. If you plan ahead, the cost is not that much more. If it’s something you really want, you can find a way to get an extra $30 over a couple of months. This time, I really wanted the gryphon statue, so I saved up the big bucks for an item that will never be available again. (By the way, I freakin’ love it, looks awesome on my desk.)

I never rant on these forums, but the topic kind of rubs me the wrong way. A product was offered with a number of different options. We all made a choice based on what the value was to us. Now…play day is here and people feel left out, so they bark about how unfair it is.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the last laugh as I go through two days of delayed starts, servers going down, lag and multiple patches.

[Ndndruid-bonechewer]

I used WOW gold to pay for my early access. I was awarded for my game play…both with a free expansion & more play time. No one made you use cash. That’s on you, Boo.

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

@Naughtymoon-proudmoore

they didn’t get the early access because their husband convinced them to waste all their gold on D4

I know, and they were blaming the WoW Community for it too.

Loyalty Should Be Rewarded, Not Monetized

Let’s be real. This is just entitled thinking.

If you owned a company and could monetize loyalty wouldn’t you? Any business owner worth their salt would. Making money is the entire point.

Non-profits exist to make the world a better place. Corporations, especially publicly traded ones, exist to make money. I want that stock price absolutely high as possible.

Final food for thought: They are not actually monetizing loyalty. Many loyal players did not pay for early access.

[Anastrasza-argent-dawn]

Fair point. I won’t be able to log in until about 9 pm tonight (eastern) so if it’s per schedule everyone will have already played a few hours maybe the crowd won’t be so much.

But truthfully I don’t really care that much when I play.

[Earthwurm-thunderhorn]

Oh look another one of these posts … Either pay the money for early access or don’t. Noones forcing you to do so and you aren’t missing out on anything if you start a few days later then everyone else. There’s going to be some try hards that’ll knock out some content first…who cares. it won’t change your experience. Move on and stop whining about this.

[Almatafh-azralon]

@Sendryn-sentinels

Edit to add: guess how much DF Epic Edition cost that did not have eaerly access? You guessed right… $89.99. The same price as War Within Epic Edition. Now do that math again and tell me again how much you paid for early access.

Can you do the math and tell me if it’s a good or bad idea to buy the Epic Edition? I’m too lazy…

@Khaelyn-moon-guard

No point with arguing with them, A set group of people are very insecure about this issue, and they get trigger easily if you have any feedback at all about how you don’t like it.

I was going to disagree but then

@Sendryn-sentinels

No one is insecure except you. Every time someone says something that doesn’t line up with your opinion, you try to play victim and gaslight everyone.

No one cares. This game has bigger problems than early access

But then this post shows up. ^^^^

Yeah a lot of people can’t accept feedback against the BlizZard narrative. It triggers them when I upper case the Z when it is in their logo!

[Emceeh-zuljin]

im not disappointed, but i could afford it with in game gold so i guess i never lost money to begin with
