I don't even really know what people claim is so awful about the credit card system. I put in my number, I selected my billing method, done and done.

I'm staying subscribed at least until I can ride to Rohan...

It is obviously right. The last time a major fix was done coincided with the end of the 30 free days.

If anything, I think it'd have more to do with the fact that March is the last month of the quarter and they want people to resubscribe that month to show high subscription numbers for their financial reports.

I didn't even know there was a such thing as 60 day game cards. Then again, I've always used a credit card since 2002.

I'm pretty sure WoW has always made it obvious that they release content that corresponds with competitor releases just so they can shove back at them.

Tell me you wouldn't do this if you were in their shoes. In any market, if a competitor is about to release a product, wouldn't you want to release your own product to hold onto your market share?

Anyone oblivous to this fact needs to crawl out of their parents basement and get back into school.
