Does anyone else think that Blizzard should start charging players for macro slots? Right now people just get as many macro binds as they want. Imo this is free real estate. Imagine if blizzard could just find a way to monetize this.
For starters, how about this equation:
Cost of macro = $5 + $X^2
X is the number of macros keybound to your action bar per day. So you would get charged per day in this model. I ran some calculations and this equation will increase blizzard’S ability to run a business exponentially as a function of the number of macros used.
Even FFXIV a very successful mmo, one that’s doing better than wow has a cash shop. man it has way more items. Buy emotes? How about a dance? Yep FF has it.
Again wow player have it good and don’t even know it.
The only reason this whole subject ever comes us is due to people thinking old blizzard is still around.
Old blizzard is gone bro…it’s been gone.
Back in the day MMOs could survive on subscriber number, unfortunately that’s no longer the case. That’s why you see cash shop even in subscriber based MMOs. Just know it’s all optional, you don’t want it, don’t buy it. TBC is free be thankful for that, however they still have to maintain servers or add servers. So how is blizzard going about paying for it? You guessed it paid service to keep characters on vanilla, and collectors edition.
Don’t get me wrong I think the price is ridiculous. I’m not agreeing with the practice. I’m just being real.
