Not sure why you’re constantly bring up the PTR. It’s not a real realm and everyone toons get wiped out constantly to make room and retest.
A character boost cost $60. It has since… MoP? WoD? A copy of a character is pretty much a boost and they’re letting you do it for almost half the price.
Nobody is talking about character boosts that is a seperate service theres nothing to boost the character already exists.
You’re getting a character that’s 10 levels below max level for $35. On retail you have to pay $60 for that.
It’s the same freaking thing even if it doesn’t fit you’re narrative.
Its not the same thing because its the privialge of playing on a classic server which presumably my priest will still be 60…
Moving on to TBC is free. So its a 35 dollar surcharge to play your character on classic vanilla not TBC which is what everyone has been doing for 2 years.
Maybe blizzard should charge retail players 35 dollars shadowlands surchage change nothing and rename your server so you can get what Im saying.
Ok you do get that there is a world beyond the borders of the US ya?
So quit it with the stimulus stuff, I know plenty in this thread who are like me and not American. So with that strawman gone, want to try again?
What you’re asking for is the ability for me to transfer from Moon Guard to Area 52 for free, while also leaving a copy of myself behind. You’re getting $85 in characters services for $35.
my eyes hurt right now
1- Good one mate we are talking about consumer vs producer surplus litterally an econ 101 level idea. Not Marx which you probably inerpreted without reading agian.
2- Stimulas is pent up damand aka money you have in your hand if you live in ANY western country over the carona virus period which is one of the reasons the price is so high for everyone…
3- Im not even american.
4- I haven’t created any strawman. I’ve literally just expressed a few econ 101 and marketing concepts and you kids lose your minds and jump to blizzards defence while they milk u for big money.
those characters don’t have the ability to impact the economy of the live game.
nobody gets to keep them.
do you actually believe that if there wasn’t a pandemic, it would be free, or cost less?
look at whatever you want.
it doesn’t change reality.
if you want to enable a clone in both expansions, you pay for it.
so pay with gold.
the consumer value point, is what people are willing to pay.
if you’re not willing to pay it, then you make the choice of which path you want to take.
tbh, people should be thankful that the games are being held as individual games, and that vanilla to tbc isn’t just a standard thing like it originally was.
if that was the case, you wouldn’t even have the option which you’re complaining about.
Only thing I’ve seen you express is the fact you have no idea what “price gouging” means.
So why harp on stimulus?
Seriously, for value this is tops, sorry you can’t get that. And why the heck harp on stimulus funds if you don’t even get it? Looking for bonus points for buzzword bingo?
where’s mine?
i want a stimulus payment!
Give you don’t understand what price gouging actually is nor the rules of supply and demand… this made me giggle.
Then again you did refer to anyone disagreeing with you as “you kids” which is well, condescending and patronizing proving my original belief that you’re a cranky troll. Who probably needs a nap.
Honestly its people like you that enable blizzard to do things like put storemounts into classic.
Can’t use anything more insulting otherwise you know the man will punish me. Also funny how you have no idea what demand is in relation to purchasing power and how it affects prices. Maybe you guys should get acquainted with the word inflation.
Like Blizzard needs Nobully’s permission for anything?
Using words without resorting to name calling is something they should have taught you in 1st grade 101.
Granted!
(gives Nobully a stimulus cookie!)
Yes, I am sure it was all Nobully’s fault. Not the droves of people who never really played Classic who wanted more QOL stuff at all…
But sure, blame one person, it fits your narrative of not having a clue.
Not at all how it works. The fee is if you want a character to be on a Vanilla server with zero progression AND that same character to continue on to BC. If you want to just progress with that toon, there’s no cost at all to you.
You don’t get to lecture me on the etiquitte of discussion after your pathetic posts so far.
No, my posts are pretty awesome and I get to lecture you for two reasons: 1.) You can’t stop me and 2.) I’m just giving back what you’re trying (but failing) to dish out.
