i played alliance at the time. didn’t play earlier MMOs. i had no history with wacraft but loved diablo. though if ff11 had been like what ff14 eventually became i’d have likely played it instead. the appeal to me was accessibility and casual friendliness vs the other options at the time. funny considering how the game has progressed. lol
Massive is subjective. If you read the post I said it is payable but I will not be gouged. It is the definition of gouging to make a product or service that is nearly free for blizzard to do $35 dollars also the aspect that there is potentially a huge amount of pent up demand from your stimulas checks and wellfare that has been recivieved over the carona virus ( which is actually more than a lot of people normally earn). Having such an exobodant price in this situaations is definitionally nearly word for word price gouging.
so you want a second character, free of charge, “just because”?
how is it “nearly free” for blizzard? …and why do you think they owe you anything?
at the very least, it’s taking up space on their servers.
like others have said, you’d probably get more sympathy posting in the appropriate forum.
it doesn’t look like many retail players care about your classic woes (and sense of entitlement)
Boost one character on a Burning Crusade Classic realm to level 58 (limit one per World of Warcraft account; not usable on blood elf or draenei characters).
Same here, but for me I miss the original Ashenvale. So huge and Night Elven forest-y. I was more upset over the logging in Ashenvale than the burning of Teldrassil.
But Cata did some beautiful things like reworking Stonetalon Mountains and Desolace into great experiences.
Also Cata made Vashjir, which remains a favorite of mine even if I don’t think a fully aquatic zone should be tried again.
This is definitely a big factor, with the gigatons of gold gathered by RMT botters getting laundered through GDKP runs a lot of players have accumulated amounts of gold that would make the eyes of the richest Vanilla players water.
1 the consumer surplus of profit to customer value is far in favor of blizzard and not even close to value to the customer. ( Which I explained we know multiple times because blizzard allows players to copy characters over to different servers all the time for testing purposes without charging people).
2 It is exploiting pent up demand (Purchasing power) due to people having on average more money from collecting stimulas checks and doll payments for not working that are higher than what they got when they work.
Now lets look at a wikipedia definition of price gouging: “Price gouging occurs when a seller increases the prices of goods, services or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair. Usually, this event occurs after a demand or supply shock.”
Now your second people why do I think I should get a free character?
I DON’T. I have never said I want a free character you guys have made that up out of thin air BECAUSE YOU DONT read the damn posts you make your own reality up in your brains.
What I object to is a damn 35 dollar US. If the price was more reasonable AKA closer to a better CONSUMER value point instead of a PRODUCER SURPLUS value point, then it would be ok.
