Everything has a price. Everything. Every business model in the planet is also looking to get the most profit out of the lowest costs within reason.

Makeb is a bunch of BS speculation until we see the final model. I guarantee you that if there will be some type of price on it. Now if you draw the line at any price, regardless or how it modeled or given to you, then you are being simply unreasonable.

That price may very wells be cartel coins or completely free for subs. You monthly sub might already pay for it. Maybe it will be 1000 coins but they will tell us well ahead of time so we can save our monthly stipend. We just don't know right now.

Bottom line, you have been spreading doom and gloom all over the thread for no real reason. You shoot down other opinions and you whine and complain about being fleeced when in reality EA bioware has been pretty reasonable with the bonuses that subs get.

If you are this miserable and don't like this business model, man up and get out. Stop trying to change the world with a forum post. Be a better consumer and vote with your wallet. Thing is...I don't think you really hate it as much as you claim. You just want a pedestal to stand on it and you found it.

How Ironic.

Your posts can be boiled down to:
Hate
Doom
Greed

At least Andryah is enjoying the game.

Yeah, that's important. WoW has certainly "fleeced" or whatever their customers for several years by making players pay the same price for a mere expansion as the original game goes for. And not all of the expansion contained the same amount of content, either.

Man, I can't wait to go to the WoW forums and see all the rage when WoW finally goes F2P in the future. It will make all of the doomy gloomy Bioware-hating crybaby whiners that fill this forum look like content customers.

exactly right now if you want to start playing WoW you have to spend over $100 to get the game and all the expansion packs.

Used to be MMOs would let you buy the latest expansion pack and you would be up to date and get all the previous content. Not with WoW though.

I wonder if WoW has folks on their forums demanding subers get all new content for free?

Not that I've seen and I've been playing WoW for 8 years. Oh there are plenty of complaints but not many about paying for expansions. Each WoW expansion has been about as large as the original game, or close to it, and there are periodic updates adding dungeons, quests, etc. between expansions (supposedly more frequently now).

As for WoW going F2P any time soon, well I don't see that happening. Especially since they are back over 10 million subs again. I don't feel that I've been "fleeced" by Blizzard as some have said. I've enjoyed playing WoW as I've enjoyed playing this game and if I quit either it will be with nothing but good will for the entertainment value I've received for my money.

You see if a game doesn't entertain me I just stop playing and I don't get upset if others still enjoy playing, that would just be selfish and really I have better things to do with my time than get upset over a game. I play for entertainment and if I'm getting angry over a game, well, I don't personally find that very entertaining

To be fare the xpacs for WoW have taken 2+ years on the average to bring out. People here think they should get a full xpac and more in less than 1 year. I have played WoW and to be honest it is fun but I am tired of the Elf,Troll and Org thing and wanted something Sci-Fi
