How many of you picked the basic edition just to save money? Even if you do have the money for the more expensive editions but decided to save your money.
Iāll pick the basic edition. Itās just that they donāt offer anything in the higher levels that I want.
If they did, Iād be tempted.
Offer a pair of black tights and Iād be there.
Why? Because they go with any top.

although it was credits not money.
Tuxedo pants are like black tights.
I opted for theā¦ whatever their version of Ultimate is.
There was enough in it to justify the cost to me.
I might just buy it when it goes on sale at the end of s1 and force myself to finish off the shadowlands/dragonflight metas in the meantime
I got epic cause I wanted all the bells and whistles.
I donāt have it yet, but once TWW arrives Iāll also be grabbing a basic edition.
Not specifically to save money, but Iām just a cheapskate when it comes to games, just because I have too many as-is.
I chose the edition that saved the most amount of money: none.
because why pay more? simple as that?
We already pay a monthly sub that is 180$ a year.

Me. I can wait until the inevitable holiday sale to upgrade if I still want something those editions offer. If I wait awhile to buy something I more often than not find I donāt need or want it any longer.
I wonāt exchange actual currency for a hypothetical product. When War Within launches and if itās well received after two weeks, Iāll purchase the basic version.
Iāll persist without a pet and an extra mount Iāll never use. Somehow, I shall press on.

The basic version is $75au here in Australia which seems excessive and a cash grab since they are doing smaller more frequest expansions moving forward.
The pants on the Inquisitor cosmetic sets from Korthia also work for a slightly more ātexturedā look, plus they come in four colors:

I might upgrade from basic to epic when my tax refund hits.

Indeed. Basic edition being $50 is already a scam. Higher editions are turbo scams. Same applies to pretty much any modern game that has multiple āeditionsā (fomo to swindle more $$$).

I got the Shadowlands physical collectors edition and ended up regretting it, given they put such a lack-there-of effort into the story, writing & lore. 
Dragonflight was decent ā not great but decent enough, I think it was needed after BFA & SLās themes. Like a bucket of cool water to temper a heated blade ā¦ Although Iām still not sure if my trust has been restored in Blizzard. 
So Iām rather contemplative on whether or not to go beyond the basic edition or not.
I havenāt bought it yet.

I bought the epic edition for the 3-days early access. I donāt like that I supported this practice, but I play this game solely because of my friends, and starting three days later would have made the whole experience less enjoyable.
Itās not about the money for me. Playing WoW always saves me money because I buy fewer other games and other āretail therapeuticā stuff. The real investment with WoW is always the time, not the money.
