Make subscription cheaper wow is overpriced

I agree, I hate the subscription system, and everything is moving to it, and in many cases it doesn’t make much sense outside of “we want your money all of the time,” but WoW is a bit different in that the money really does go to server upkeep, paying people to maintain the game itself, working on new expansions, and so on.

This is actually where a sub model makes sense.

Now, regarding WoW, you can pay less but you have to buy more than a month at a time. I think 6 mos is $12.99 per month, but paying that much in advance is difficult for quite a few folks.

There may never come a time when the price goes down, because people have been paying $15 for 16 years, and if they haven’t lowered (or raised) the price in all of that time, and people are still paying it so readily, they’ll likely continue in the foreseeable future.

Would it be nice? Yes! $7 a month would be a good deal! Would it be likely? No.

Factoring in inflation, it is cheaper now than it was in 2004.

It’s also cheaper than the movies, booze, hookers, Vegas, or whatever else you do after work.

OP, all ill say is just be thankful blizzard doesnt run wow like SE runs FFXIV. At least blizzard gives you something if you get a 6 month sub unlike over there with their monthly updated cash shop and ‘optional’ bank space they let you rent.

It’s a pandemic and stuff is shut down you people are saying this is a luxury theres not much to do because of the shut downs entertainment like wow is more of a necessity than a luxury and the least blizzard could do is make the price cheaper It would be a fair and nice gesture. 15 dollars a month and a lot of those months have no new content.

It’s the cost of a movie ticket. If you can’t afford that you have bigger problems to deal with and you shouldn’t even be playing video games or MMOS.

You want to know a game with a real expense problem. Sims 3 or Sims 4.

EA is the Comcast of gaming. Worst company in the business.

It’s a necessity just like crack is a necessity. It’s only necessary if you’re an addict.

Like I said before, if youre THAT hard up for money, there are legit sites that let you make a few dollars here and there. Youre better off finding one of those vs asking for something that hasnt happened and will never happen.

For some education:

Anything beyond the bare essentials- Food, Shelter, Basic Clothing is all Luxury. Stay humble.

If you’re on a 6 month sub, WOW costs a grand total of 42 cents a day.

15 a month is a lot if we got new content every month I could understand but I wont let you people try to say I am being unreasonable. The price being lowered would be good for the game. Add more stuff to the store and lower the price.

Wait…you mean all my monthly subs are not necessities? But what would I do without my monthly Cute Kitty magazines and CBS All Access? I’d have to…watch antenna TV! Or go outside and talk to people!

If someone is having a hard time finding a job, and is having a difficult time putting food on their tables. They probably shouldn’t be looking at spending money on video games or any subscription based service, atleast not until they’ve gotten their finances figured out.

Again, you’re complaining about 42 cents a day.
