I say this as someone with it. This divides the player base. It creates all sorts of weirdness like Honor getting zeroed out even if you don’t have Early Access and Comp Stomp getting scaled to 80 mid-event and now not queueable by anyone at all unless you’re level 80.
Oh and I just discovered that LFR is now closed, even at level 70, if you have EA or you don’t have EA. Are Normal+ raids open?
Never do this again.
Lol, as long as there are people buying it, like yourself, they will keep doing it
as someone with it, im happy
I honestly don’t see the issue. Do it if you want, or don’t if you don’t want to.
Me too think of it thinning out open day relief
The player base is split.
Same thing will happen when people learn that M+ was nerfed to the ground to help raiding participation.
Or how TBC normal flying is gated by PF which separates players as other use DR.
ITT: people explain to you exactly why loot boxes and battle passes took off the way they did
Holds cup under kek’s eyes.
“I need salt for my cooking. Keep going”- says the Shadow priest going into EA.
This is my take on it as well or pay someone to slap that hand when you go to make that purchase. 
you’re bought it, you’re part of the problem
as long as people keep paying they will keep doing it, it’s that simple lol
The Epic edition came with a bunch of things. It was $20 more than the lower edition and comes with 30 days of Game Time so costs almost nothing, really.
I would’ve been just as happy if the Epic edition didn’t have Early Access.
So you can keep blaming random people on the forums but the problem is Blizzard.
I at least recognize that this creates a really negative experience for the people who don’t have Early Access. Real life is about how much money you have. People escape to video games because it generally doesn’t. Now we know that pretty much everything in WoW can be (and is) bought.
But why are we going out of our way divide guilds and players from friends?
This is true, the game doesn’t come out till the 26th but they are halting what 70s can do on the 22nd as if the game has dropped, that makes no sense.
You don’t speak for me. I’m happy with early access.
Why are people saying they are happy with it? Are they not reading the thread?
It just makes poor people feel bad, that’s all it’s doing right now lol. I can’t play with my guild right now, I just have to wait 4 days.
Inb4 “I’m happy poor people feel bad”.
It was literally the worst thing they could have done for this expansion. For a game like this early access makes no sense. In fact early access never makes any sense for any game. Its just scummy FOMO.
Yep, anyone without early access should just not login at all until Monday and see what kind of response that gets from Blizz when that portion of the players don’t engage with the game at all.
So you’re part of the problem … got it!
The irony is that Early Access are paying to beta test. There will no doubt be 2-3 patches between now and official launch.
They won’t care cause they got your sub money.
I watched a few streams the last hour and a half and I’m now convinced I will not buy TWW. Doing pathfinder with ground mount? No thank you. The area is huge, empty and boring.
