Hey man don’t be modest you can take credit for it too people like you and him are who im refering to.
Oh yes, we are the downfall surely. The people who pay and enjoy it, who see value for the content.
What do I call you, the one who can’t comprehend that this is a deal, who fakes being American so they can spout “the last of our stimulus checks” and so on?
How do you know I can lecture on “ditch digging?” Are you 80? You know they have things called a “backhoe” now which digs ditches better than the group of people you’re trying to insult.

You are something else.
Get help, and get of the forums you obviously have some deep seeded issues to tell me that.
Also since you want to be the king donkey here, fun fact, I had ovarian cancer and a hysterectomy last Monday. You know when someone says the absolute worst thing ever to feel better about themselves?
Wanna make my personal hell worse? Keep going.
Are you kidding me?
Donkey, life happens. Wanna see my incisions? Would that make you more humane?
I doubt it. Trash needs to be taken out, and if this makes you leave the game WoW is better for it.
Really no reason to let some 15 year old foreign twit get you all riled up. He/she has already demonstrated they are garbage and have zero grasp of grammar or economics.
Let them wallow in their own misery and be glad you’re not them.

I think you keep calling it gouging because it gives a more negative connotation to the situation. Usually when people talk about gouging, they are talking about people selling a commodity that is needed and in short supply (think food/water during a natural disaster). This isn’t the same thing because you don’t “need” to clone your character in order to play the game.
You keep bringing up how much this service costs Blizzard to perform as proof that it is “gouging” and/or too expensive, but the cost to perform a service (or to make a product, for that matter) doesn’t always correlate to the price charged. I mean… how much does it cost to draw a picture or take a photo vs how much do artists and photographers charge for their services?
I think the phrase you’re actually looking for is “I think the price is too high for the service offered.” and luckily, no one is forcing you to buy the service because it is not a service that is needed to play the game.
However, there are other people who will be buying the service because they feel the price is fair for what they will be receiving. In fact, there are even some people who feel the price is a bargain for this.
Anyway… I hope whatever decision you make makes you happy,

i’d love to know how i made blizzard do that! 
i own 2 store items, and one was gifted to me.
i’ve only ever purchased base level expansions.
i’ve never used any character services.
i don’t throw money at the game, because i understand that optional stuff is… optional.
…but i don’t get angry at the prices people are willing to pay, just because some people have more disposable income than i do.
…and i don’t think prices should be reduced just because i don’t have what other people have.
tastebuds = stimulated!

I personally don’t get the outrage on this one. This whole time I thought they were charging $35 to let your classic character progress into TBC.
But they aren’t.
Just like how WoW has always been, you can just… continue to play your character into the next expansion. And this time you don’t even have to pay for TBC. You just… get the game for free. And you can log into your character and keep playing him/her in TBC. Just like it has always been.
The fee is for if you optionally want to play your character in 2 different games. To have 2 versions of your characters, in 2 different games, playing them both separately.
I honestly can’t believe there are this many people that actually want to have 2 copies of their character and want to play 2 different MMOs simultaneously. When wrath comes out are you going to want another clone of your character to play 3 different MMOs at once?
I really don’t get it.

Lol I just don’t get why they brought this here. They could have stayed in the BC classic echo chamber and had all sorts of likes and people agreeing with them.
Instead here she is getting completely owned and making a fool of herself.

Good news! You don’t have to. You can decide to keep a character on Classic or move it forward to TBC. Only thing you’ll pay is a service fee if you decide for whatever reason that you have to have the same character on both clients.
Nobody’s gouging you by making you pay to move it to TBC, because that’s not what’s happening. It’s free, literally, except the maintained sub you pay to keep playing. You only pay extra for the aforementioned service of cloning the character to have it on both clients.

Yeah we’ve been telling him that but for some reason he thinks he’s getting “gouged” when Blizzard is offering $85 in character services for $35. And then he resorted to name calling so we had to make fun of him.
Nice to see you have misquoted that wikkipedia definition brilliantly especially the part where you ignored the demand factors. Supply doesn’t matter on a computer game what matters is variable + Fixed cost + profit. I linked that definition because I thought it would be easier for people to grasp but people don’t unforch.
1- Price gouging happens all the time we litterally sit in in pricing disgussions and factor in how we can gouge the customer for as much profit as they will willfully give up.
2- Thank you for agreeing with my macro economic explanations about pent up demand and price gouging even though you have done so unwittingly. Demand in the hands of consumers allows blizzard to justify a high cost. If you don’t believe me then explain this why not 15 dollars why not 10 dollars why not 5 dollars. We know its free on their part.
This reminds me of people justifying games workshop selling spruses of model minitures for 160,000 percent “mark up” (price gouging). there are no artists involved in making a character transfer to a new server happen. Blizzard merges servers for free all the time btw.
Allow me to refer you to this post:
Yeah I think if you have an existing 60, that should be free and if you don’t you can pay to boost - or don’t.
And that should leaving a copy on the classic server.
That being said if they are just trying to recoup cost because it is expensive to run 2 mmos at the same time, I get it. However, with the content draught in SL it’s kind of a slap in the face.
I’m not sure what you think is the purpose for the government stimulus checks. They were given to stimulus spending. My parents used theirs to replace their old PC and printer. If someone decides to spend $35 of the check on a Blizzard product, it is working as intended.
You ignore a lot like when someone points out the flaw in your argument. Character boosts have been $60 for at least 6 years, if not longer. Character transfers have been $25 dollars since TBC.
What you’re asking for is the ability to move your character to a different “server” while leaving a copy of it behind, for free. Normally this would cost you $85. Blizzard is offering it for $35. You can do the transfer alone for free.
You’re not getting gouged.

Defends the price and then immediately tries to claim they aren’t defending the price.
I mean, I don’t care that they are charging for it, but the price is super high to literally just copy/paste a character from one server to a different server.
