Vote With Your Wallet

Community General Discussion

Here’s an idea.

Let’s put some expensive and/or controversial options up for the community to vote on. Examples:

  1. New dances/Dance Studio
  2. 15 boss raid tier
  3. 10 Dungeon Season
  4. Player Housing
  5. M+ loot nerfed
  6. Mythic raiding removed
  7. Next expansion has same level cap
  8. New Class
  9. Shaman Tank
  10. Mage Healer

Votes cost $1. Integrate with twitch/youtube so people can vote while they watch.

Whichever idea wins, they commit to delivering it. Every quarter, hold the vote again with a new option to replace the previous winner, and anything with fewer then 10% of the vote (removing the top and likely bottom 2 every quarter).

They could also just run categories to see where people want them to put their resources.

  1. PvP
  2. Raid
  3. M+
  4. Crafting

So what about all the people who pay to vote for things that didn’t win? :dracthyr_lulmao:

Some of those are a lot more work than others. Only one of those is about taking things completely away from others.

This doesn’t really work with WoW since the vast majority of their profits seem to come from non-subscription fee sources nowadays… so the average player can’t really use “withholding their money” as leverage

WoW token, shop sales, mount sales, etc probably “passed” subscription fee income a while ago… so it’s mostly RMT, carries, bots, and a small minority of loaded whales keeping the game afloat rather than the average player

You can tell the game is no longer primarily kept afloat by the $15/month sub fee because they still reported profits left and right during Shadowlands - and Shadowlands is widely regarded as bad. Also there was TONS of unsubs/players taking a break during Shadowlands - yet the financials stayed in the green/the profits kept rolling in

That’s an idea that I’ve read. This is the most thread ever.

  1. Democracies are good when it comes down to essential support that requires universal acceptance to play by the same rules. For an example, a well structured company or a country.
    Not something which requires people to actually know what they are doing to be in charge. A voting system like this would encourage populism, rather than integral intellectualism.
  2. … and this is before even considering that having to “pay” to vote beyond what we already pay is beyond ridiculous.

The game is overall by and large fine as it is right now. There’s stuff to be improved but DEFINITELY not in a GD-“just suggesting” sort of a fashion.

Well there’s no limit to the number of votes you can buy. I could vote 50k times to wipe out raid logger votes if I felt strongly enough.

They receive an education in government.

Passion is money.

I don’t want to play a game designed by the very few with the deepest pockets. this isn’t a great idea.
