They are items that did not exist before being added. That is, by definition, an “additive aspect”
“#nochanges” was a thing for Vanilla Classic, no such promise was made for TBC Classic. And if you look, these store items are not going to be added to the Vanilla Classic servers and thus maintain that #nochanges ideal, so if that’s make or break for you then feel free to stay in Vanilla
So if I walk into a pizza store and am just out of the blue offered a new special pizza they came up with, the employees intend to deceive me? That’s a joke, right?
Yup, it’s why the idea of intellectual property is kinda retarded when there really isn’t anything new. I guess we can pretend stuff is new but really it isn’t.
I learned recently that sending pictures over the wire has been a tech (obviously evolved tremendously) since the early 1920’s…
Crazy to think the tech has been around that long, and in actuality goes back a lil further to like the 1890’s…
is entirely my opinion and is not based on any factual information whatsoever
dont forget just 5 years ago, 3 years before classic launched, blizzard told this to one of its fans asking for legacy servers
they are not additive in the sense that they are beneficial to the game in any way. they lack justification for their existence beyond taking advantage of high paying customers.
i failed to understand your point in this half hearted attempt at an essay that you seem to gave up halfway through and then said eh ill post it anyways
thats a false equivalency which shows you either intentionally dont understand what i am talking about, or intentionally wish to act like you dont understand what i am talking about
And for several years before this they said Classic servers were straight up impossible because they no longer had the data for them
Point is, opinions change over time, through a change of knowledge, ideas, technology, and/or resources
They’re items that do not exist otherwise. If you want them you can buy them, if you don’t you lose nothing by not buying them
Half hearted attempt at an essay? If anything I would’ve liked to make it LESS wordy. This sounds like pointless posturing to avoid addressing the actual point
Let’s assume I don’t know what you’re talking about then, because the scenario sounds essentially the same from the way I understood it. You said “the only reason to offer players (customers) something they didn’t ask for is to deceive them”. In this scenario, I am a customer and I did not ask for the new special, so them offering it to me means they’re trying to deceive me, right?
I know when I’m done with a game. I know I’m not going back to retail or that I’ll never replay Morrowind or other games I’ve quit. But I don’t know everyone. I’ll concede the possibility that some people might quit games without knowing why and decide to start playing again without having any conscious reason for doing so. I suppose it’s possible that some people don’t know what they want and move through their life like a leaf blown on the wind.
just because its possible that opinions changed doesnt make the past nonexistent. the evidence for their smug and callous disregard for player feedback especially when it concerns their previous work is blatantly obvious. but really whats your point?
but you left out the best part
“they” being
just say what you mean and dont shroud it in some riddle
Yeah saying “you think you do but you don’t” is pretty dickish but what does something said by one guy 5 years ago have to do with current events?
Because
If you have no control over your own wallet and feel “taken advantage of” by the mere existence of a sparkly shop mount that’s a you issue
It’s not a riddle, it’s a hypothetical comparison meant to point out that your reasoning, as I understood it, is asinine. I’m still waiting on you to either explain your reasoning, or clarify what you actually meant if I misunderstood
The game HAD 12 million subs.
People quit to play for free with no one attacking the players.
s3 add rating gatekeeping
Arena participation declines sharply in s4.
Same bs xpac after xpac…
When the bar people from earning the game suffers.
What is asinine, is proclaiming this isnt or wont happen again when people are already leaving… and your trash team just barred over half of the players out of earning arena gear before we’re out of beta… (we’re actually in alpha right jay?)
