One friend has spent $2600 in Raid Shadow legends, the other $1400
Got me thinking, WoW really isn’t that bad in the grand scheme of things.
In fact they have yet to put forth a store mount worth buying in my eyes. I mostly spend on the sub and the services.
I mean we ARE paying sub, service, expansion and store. BUT, somehow all of that still isn’t near what my friends are paying in other games.
They even have a limit on how many tokens you can buy a month. They really aren’t the bad guys here. I mean, Overwatch and others of their games have lootboxes and what not. If they wanted to, they have added those to WoW ages ago.
That’s why they made hearthstone.
Mythic raid clears are 3.2m/week, which is roughly 23 wow tokens(~$500) a week, so $2k a month.
I have a friend who has spent well over 1000 for max level boost.
That’s just darn lazy. You get a toon to max in just 2-3 days tops.
Few years ago the manager of the restaurant i worked at told me she spent around $500 per month (sometimes over a Grand) in Clash of Clan. Knowing how much they make now as i was offered a position before going back to trade school ( i declined it precisely because i felt the pay wasn’t worth the personal investment), it feels completely insane.
Exactly why i refuse to play any mobile games.
That won’t stop anyone. If a person was willing to exceed the cap in tokens then creating a dummy account to bypass the account restriction is a trivial hurdle.
yes, but that isn’t blizzards fault if people do that. I’m saying is they are not actively promoting whaling in WoW compared to their other licences.
I don’t personally but my friend told me someone in his guild spent like 2000+ for raid carries for many different characters lmao.
He must either suuuuuuck badly at the game and can’t do the raids really or just too lazy but wants to have all his chars really geared for (whatever reason) Some of the money was also because some of them were boosted characters lol
In one of the games I played years ago I’d think nothing of dropping $100 here and there. The big promos could get 2-300 out of me.
I loved the game and even spending $1k a year on it was cheaper than most of my other hobbies.
While I don’t know anyone who does it in video games, I’ve watched my friend drops tens of thousands of dollars in slot machines over a night and hundreds of thousands of dollars over many different games(Roulette, poker, slots, etc) over a weekend in Atlantic City on many different occasions in the past 8 years. Makes me sick to my stomach every time.
Hey big spenders!
Spend a little time with me. 
499,995 will get you a little time.
Long time cost extra.
honestly i wish they had more you could buy.
cosmetics are neat, as long as they arnt game changing.
id hapily give them more money for cute outfits like the sprite darter
This is the thing, WoW in 2005 was considered an expensive hobby, people used to say it was cheaper to be a crackhead (debatable).
15 years later, people still think WoW is expensive, but it’s still just the monthly sub fee, which is less than most spend on coffee in a week, and every couple of years, the purchase of a new expansion, essentially a new game, the same cost as any other big name game. Some people buy a new big name title every week or two.
WoW really just isn’t that expensive for the time investment. If you don’t play other games for one reason or another, and don’t spend in the shop constantly, WoW is a fraction of the cost of what others pay for their hobbies.
I was quoting an old song but lmao
Real bank is this and 2k+ (typically glad) boosting. Don’t know why anyone would spend irl money on tokens to get aotc, all 10s/15s, or lower rated pvp. Those things are extremely doable if you put in the time. And people would be better off saving their money for the more expensive items.
First thing I thought was Travis Tritt’s version, but the chance to make a joke was too good to pass up.
Are we talking just in game or anything WoW?
