Also, I think your emotion is directed in the wrong direction. People like different things and play for different reasons. I don’t begrudge any individual for how they want to play the game or changes to suit their preference. I will disagree, but can’t really feel…anger. That should be directed squarely at Blizzard. They make the decisions. Catering to a certain gaming style is their call.
But of course these days there’s basically zero interaction between the playerbase and Blizzard. So pretty much all you can do is unsub. By the way, remember back when you used to unsub the little crying peon would ask you why and ask for feedback? Then they stopped that. Guess they don’t really care why people are quitting.
1st it allows Blizzard to gain tacit acceptance of the community for paid services.
You can’t be naive enough this will be all and while you could give me some disingenuous argument about how this won’t affect me, selling gold or faction xfers are far more difficult to defend even for a dishonest person.
2nd this is a massive boon to boosters and gold sellers and Blizzard is betting on that eventuality. They will then be “forced” to start selling tokens in an effort to appease the player bases’s cries to combat the bots that are destroying the economy.
Your point was nonsensical. You attacked MoP out of the blue and used that as a springboard to claim Blizzard had no integrity, which doesn’t follow at all, and raged about how a video game company catered to children instead of old nerds like yourself. Get over yourself.
Ahahaha
You can’t claim the internet tough-guy card while simultaneously trying to mock what you perceive to be people playing the tough-guy card. You just look very silly.
You don’t have any control or influence over Blizzard and your rage is entirely predicated on the game going a thematic (not a gameplay) direction you couldn’t stomach. I’m sorry the game became too childish for you, but it is a game filled with bear-people and mole-rat-people and pig-people and flipping elves that turn into bears and gnomes that grind and giggle hysterically and so the inclusion of a WC3 race wasn’t really all that out of place.
Just sayin’
This is true of literally everything a bot does, boosts aren’t special in that regard, find a new point.
It doesn’t though. The one time purchasable with real world currency will have a disproportionately large effect on bots. You don’t need to level those characters. They’re ready to farm. Thats insane.
