Good change with the 60 day game time purchase

[Destruckda-thunderlord]

noone seems to be seeing the REAL issue here.
29.99 for 60 days is more then 14.99 x 2 for the same 60 days. granted it is only 1 cent more but how many subs do they sell i am sure that 1 cent will add up quite quickly

Subscriptions are a way of becoming “sticky” with the customer (a common marketing term). When a customer is more “sticky” they engage with the business more in the form of buying goods and services. So I cant help but infer that one of the reasons for this change is also to increase the stickiness of Blizzard with their player base, and incentivize that stickiness by making the only way to get the discounted subscription model is to subscribe to their service.

Doing it with gold was just a scummy loophole that you were exploiting. Blizzard balance is intended to purchase mounts / pets / and other digital goods, not game time at the subscription discount.

Edit: This reply also applies to Dalfurane.

Wow I guess you need a slow clap for finally understanding that it is scummy on Blizzard’s part to force additional months upon customers who have been using an option which gives them a little more freedom.

“Hey customer you are being scummy using a loophole”. Oh you mean using an option Blizzard themselves gave.

Definitely sounds like you have zero idea. No wonder you are just dodging out of fear.

I have looked into those before, you do know that there is a recurring fee for those, regardless of if you use them or not, don’t you?

Well then you have 3 options feel free to use more then 1

1. Unsub

2. Expletive and moan

3. Pay it

[Jayden-bigglesworth]

I answered your question, you just didn’t like the answer.

Just because you think its scummy of blizzard, doesn’t make it so lol. They are fixing a loophole people were exploiting plain and simple, and giving their player base an incentive to actually subscribe to their service. You are free to not play the game anymore if you don’t like it. I’m sure Blizzard won’t care either.

Edit: Nice, Blizzard reverted the flagging of my post. Seems they know logic when they see it.

You might want to remove this line from your post, as all it does is antagonize others. We can see the post is still there, but putting this in just to rub it in others’ faces might well merit a flag (technically it’s discussing a moderation action, but I’m trying to avoid preaching on that tangent).

If your post has merit, it will stand on its own without the antagonism.

You are free to stop dictating what people can or can not do in terms of giving feedback. I’m sure they won’t care either.

[Jayden-bigglesworth]

It’s not meant to rub it in anyone’s face. But since you don’t like it and you specifically quoted it, i think ill just keep it in there. Its you who chooses to get offended by me stating that Blizzard did the right thing with reverting the ridiculous flag because people don’t agree with my stance. Thats not what the flagging system is for, yet people abuse it all the time.

[Jayden-bigglesworth]

Its their business, they deemed it the right decision to streamline the options and give real incentive to people purchasing subscriptions.

There’s a reason they made the change, and just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it “greedy,” “unethical,” “scummy,” or any of the other myriad of negative comments I’ve seen people post in response.

Get over it. Businesses do things to improve their business, and some of those things may even look controvisal at first, but I assure you, they aren’t doing it maliciously to just go “hahahaha I want to remove all options from our customers and charge them higher prices because .”

Again, Blizzard is a business, not a charity. Stop whining.

You seem to be whining harder than everyone combined on this forum because people are calling your illogical stance for what it is.

Maybe stop throwing your toys out of the pram because your argument wasn’t accepted?

Oh here’s your first basic tip of business:

The company is zero without the customers.

Or in other words: Learn how to do business before you spout random stuff

Ah white knights needing to defend consumer hostile changes so their share holders are happy at the expense of the stakeholders

[Nippyss-barthilas (Nippyss)]

We all need to stop being WoW addicts and follow my suit and cancel our subs

I’m going to miss these forums but I ain’t played the game in weeks and I need a new pc

Funny how these same white knights are always “HEY BE REASONABLE THEY ARE ONLY HUMAN BEINGS” when people demand good content.

Somehow the “Blizzard is a business, not a charity. Stop whining” vanishes from their recent memory.

Win-win? Do you troll for a living?

@Jayden-bigglesworth

Blizzard is not a charity

that’s for sure

[Nippyss-barthilas (Nippyss)]

Very vile stuff

IMO they should make tmog cost money off your blizzard balance, see how that plays out

Exactly why every single person defending this weird change sounds like they are reading off a approved transcript.

The moment you ask them “Why is it good to remove an option” their face seemingly glazes over and they begin all over again.

[Willkiller-korgath (Willkiller)]

1. Can’t unsub, as I used game time, not a sub in the first place.
2. Negative feedback =/= Expletive and moan
3. Nope, not paying a fee to pay a sub.

Now that you have your sanctimonious self-righteous snark out of your system, you can meander elsewhere to try to criticize legitimate customer feedback.

If you think there gonna budge on this after they did the same for Canada and rised Australias prices go ahead and scream into the darkness

Could design the game to feel like less of a drag to increase money too.

I was merely trying to point out that you have the appearance of purposely fanning the flames rather than trying to have a productive discussion. Your post here essentially backs that up. I took no offense whatsoever, nor was I one of the ones that initially flagged your post (I didn’t even see the post until after it returned).

Your post was deemed within the CoC and was returned due to an abuse of the flagging system. Your subsequent actions, however, could very well merit it being removed once again. I’m trying to help you avoid that. Nothing more, nothing less.

Edit: Spelling.
