Never mind that is has totally killed the lower level brackets of pvp, but in general, why is it level 20 ? It was level 20 before the level squish so now its a bunch of people with level 40 spells not paying a cent to play.
I’ll tell you what I think.
I think it’s so Blizzard can pad their player numbers.
I’ve never in 16 years seen so many non sub players before. I mean, my sub is almost done anyway and this god awful game is not getting another cent out of me, but I am just very curious why free to paly doesn’t end at 19
Imo, we should go the complete opposite direction. Keep the other restrictions but make everything up to lvl 50 free to play. A generous free trial is working wonders for FF14, I think WoW should follow their lead.
I think the opposite. I think that the free trial should go to 50 but you only get three characters and no chromie time, pet battles, collections (until they buy game time), more than a few mounts, etc.
IMO level 20 is not enough to decide if you like the game or not. That’s like an hour and a half of playtime nowadays. WoW is a massive game where people may have hundreds of days of gametime! I think it would be fine to give people a day worth of content for free.
Yes it’s a great trial period but if you entered a bg as a new player who had never played wow before, would you actually pay for a sub ? I wouldn’t. But that’s just me.
I just think it’s being abused more than it’s getting new players into the game. I mean, let’s face it, new players are not flocking to play. Not like they use to.
uh…pad?
TECHNICALLY its about playing the game…sub or no sub. lol.
Blizzard isnt bringing in money for those players, how is that padding anything that matters?
If theyre PLAYING , thats literally the POINT, lol.
yeah…a better way would be to let you play the game for for free for 60 or 90 days…let you get to 50 or even 55, just not to max level…then if you want to continue to you have to sub. If you do, you now have a pretty high level character to keep right on playing with.
