They give you $3 USD off each month when you buy 6 months at a time.
After 5 months you’ve saved a regular month’s cost.
Honestly I was already doing the 6 month sub, have been since MoP, simply because of how much money you save. I came home and had the dreadwake already in my mailbox waiting for me, and mine renewed in August.
SPOILERS
Seriously, what lore? Do we need to re-re-re-earn their trust? As a Zandalari, I would definitely be at a pro-Horde high right now, as opposed to after the Horde fails to protect their king from getting murdered.
Good consumer. Blizzard love good consumer.
/pets you
You pay $77.94 for a six-month subscription. Nothing is free.
In April when the promotion of 6 months with sinking ship is over.
They gave it to me free as I always pay for 6 months at a time and had just resubbed for 6 months a month prior. Next month I will be resubbing again for another 6 months (even w/o a pirate ship promo).
Could you get the dreadwake without giving Blizzard money first? No? Then it’s not free.
Stop being mindless consumers, folks. I’ll be back when the March/April announcement is made.
They didn’t have to pay extra and were given it as a bonus though, so you can still argue it was free in the sense they weren’t having to do/pay anything additional. (Also in the same boat of how I got it, pun completely intended).
I paid for my sub and then a month later they sent me a mount in the mail as a free thank you for being a loyal customer. I paid nothing extra for it. You do understand the entire concept of “free with purchase of something else”? Maybe stop hating just for hatred’s sake?
They “gave” you the mount because you paid for 180 days of game time within 30 days of the announcement of the promotion. If it was actually “a free thank you for being a loyal customer,” everyone with an active six-month sub would have received it. There was either a legal reason that required them to do so or they just felt it would be a bad PR move if they didn’t provide some sort of grace period.
If the requirement to get something is paying money, the thing isn’t free.
I’m sorry you consider consumer advocacy to be hatred.
Why do you claim they were “finished” months ago? Do you have some secret info? Or are you just imagining this in your head, so it must be true.
I have known since Blizzcn 2017 (November 2017) that KTH would become playable around early 2019. The schedule has not changed in over a year. Just because you want it sooner means nothing – nothing to Blizzard, and nothing to me.
They aren’t “withholding” anything. They have things “scheduled”. That’s different.
They already said what rep you need for KT and Zandalari…the reps we already have for their main cities.
Nothing makes me more mad in wow than artificial timegates like these. ALL races should be available from launch of an expansion.
DONT DO THIS AGAIN
I’m personally getting a little annoyed.
I accepted that the Zandalari/KTs weren’t available on launch, we still had the new zones to get through and also had the other allied races to play with.
I accepted that they weren’t available until 8.1, that just gave us time to grind reputation at our leisure.
I accepted that they weren’t available the new raid came out, that gave us time to actually prepare for said raid.
Now I’m hearing it won’t be until 8.1.5, which won’t be until like at least yet another while. I haven’t minded waiting, it’s just getting frustrated to keep hearing “wait until x” only to hear “wait until y” once x rolls around.
This was answered back in the AMA.
I don t really care about AMA and justifications for bad decisions…I am sharing my disapointment with artificial time gates for races that did not necessitate time gates. It is still ok to not be happy about things Blizzard does right? I mean sharing disapointment is still ok right?
I loved reading this. Thanks for fighting the good fight and being a voice of reason.
Zandalari were said to release at launch back at Blizzcon 2017.
They were finished during the Beta, and have just been pushed back repeatedly for obvious reasons. (Carrot on a Stick).
Oh well I saw a question in your statement so I was letting you know where you could get the answer. Of course its okay to have your feelings of disappointment.
This guy gets it.
I have little doubt that Kul Tirans/Zandalari will be the new “Dreadwake mount” since we have no reason to assume any other meaningful content will come out before April. They’ll fluff up earnings for the new quarter and Blizzard will pat themselves on the back for a job well done.
If by finished, you mean unable to mount, broken hair and unable to speak Zandali then ok.
They’re not finished.
Finished as in their models and Heritage Armor. The other stuff can be fixed relatively easily. I’m almost certain that they will be fixed by next week’s build.
