Umm… Blizzard Activision’ stock skyrocketted during the release of Classic. Their subscriptions have gone UP during the release of Classic and is still holding strong. WTF are you talking about?
contradicted, you should probably look up the definition before trying to use that word in a conversation. I could waste time respnding to all the baseless assumptions in your post but it’s really not worth my time.
I’m not entirely sure you said what you intended to, as all evidence shows classic has helped increase revenue, but regardless, it’s wholly irrelevant to what I said. My post never once mentions actual revenue. Someone who threatens to revoke a sub is statistically the least likely to quit, just as people who complain about cash shops are statistically the most likely to use them. Words and actions are often very dissimilar.
ya, that’s my bad I wasn’t clear.
I was trying to make the point that the “threat of losing money” does, in fact matter, and that is why blizzard released classic in the first place.
To the point of the subscriptions: If you think blizzard isn’t losing classic players due to the incredibly toxic environment they intentionally created with the release of the honor system without BG’s…
I don’t think you understand. The majority of subscribers came back for Classic WoW and Classic WoW alone; including myself. This is the nostalgia trip I had YEARS ago. This is why I came back to this game because of the open world PvP. There is a small amount of people that happened to stumble across WoW, in general, and decided to try out Classic. THOSE are probably the people that will end up quitting because they either don’t like the difficulty of the game or the PvP aspect of it. Classic will not die from subscribers like people think.
Wait, are they pvp’ing on your pvp server,… how dare they, we will put an end to this pvp non-sence immediately … we will re-build & redesign the game around you,. we will call it “Battle for Azeroth”
Classic wow is not vanilla wow, it is similar. Too many changes were made between vanilla wow patch 1.1 -1.12. Classic is based on 1.12. If is is not apparent to you by now that classic wow is vastly different than vanilla wow, I don’t know what to say.
I totally get people wanting to relive or experience “open world pvp” like in vanilla wow, but this isn’t it, and was never gonna be it.
I am all for large gaps between content, I hope BWL, AV, and AB are many months away, but releasing WSG along with the honor system would have been much smarter in the long term, than creating the mess that is “world pvp” on classic.
You are on a PVP server, you prevent this by being a better PVP player OR rolling on a PVE server. Seriously people, stop this pointless complaining and take responsibility for your choices of which server you play on.
The OP is level 37, I have yet to see a “better PVP Player” take down a roving raid group of 60’s at level 37
Everyone knows they are gonna get ganked on a pvp server from time to time. The overpopulated 60’s roaming every zone ganking and camping is the issue.
The issue is this:
This version of wow is classic
classic is not vanilla
Blizzard is attempting to follow a vanilla timetable, that was established with vanilla balance, vanilla server pops, and vanilla 60 densities, in classic.
I don’t see roving raid groups of L60s in zones where L37s are leveling, caring about the honor aspect of P2. Roving raid groups of L60s that care about HKs are roving in zones L50s are leveling.
