How to Purchase World of Warcraft Game Time - Guides - Wowhead, is changing the deal on game time.
The studio announced that it has removed the 30- and 180-day pre-paid time purchase options from the store.
We recently conducted a review of all the available services.The studio decided to change the game time options in the shop.The game time options of 30 days, 90 days and 180 days are no longer available.
The players have taken to the forums to complain about the lack of purchase options.
One player said, "This really doesn't sit well, just a blatant money gouging tactic."If we choose not to go the route of an active sub, why should we have to commit to two months at a time?They're trying to push players towards subs because they know any recurring subscription will charge you.
It's important to understand that this doesn't affect subscriptions or 30-day game time purchases with the WoW token.
They got props for realizing that any reason they gave would be seen as a load of hot bullshit by the gaming community.The two sentence announcement does not attempt to give a reason or excuse.
Everyone suspects that we could make more money by conducting a review.
I get that people are angry, but they need to stop thinking that games are for them.They are not.TV is not for viewers.It is there to push advertising at you.You get an hour of entertainment and 20 minutes of commercials if you agree to watch it.
A billion dollar business is run by predatory individuals, corporations and investment bankers.Making as much money as possible off the rest of us is what they live for.The fact that they are using a game to suck money out of us is not a big deal.

I am against the face-value analysis some readers do at the site because having outrage for it is bad.It is not.Reality is that if we want to change that, we must be heard.Voting with our money needs to be used to express our opinions.
When artists have good feedback, they deliver better art.When musicians are held to a higher standard, music improves.The quality of gaming is destroyed by not holding games to a higher standard.It hurts the players in the end if they have little to no experience with the scene.They don't have the experience to accept everything.
That doesn't make sense outside of marketing.It was targeted at people who use the Blizzard Shop to buy a pre-paid amount of time without having to worry about canceling their subs.
Do you want to elaborate?I played my first 10 minutes and then quit.
Casual and leveling experience are bad.Lackluster transmog system.Lackluster character building.The system is terrible.There were bad design decisions.It's a good idea to have a hardcore raider as the lead developer.The quality of the game has suffered since the layoffs of 800 people.There is a separation between the designers and the players.The lack of side-systems for non-raiders is not good enough to warrant focus.Adding covenants worsened the balancing.Even though they cater to the player base, they have bad gear progression.Kotick may lay off more people and the game may suffer because of it.
Exactly.I can safely say that "Terrible Balancing" has turned into some type of Sadomasochism due to the design of the game.
It is absolute dogshit.The ranged classes had 1.5k with one nuke.At the end, burst is out of control.
I am happy to be done with this game.Not because of a single thing.It seems like there has been a cascade of events over the years.This is the nail in the coffin as I chose to sub.Buying 30 day game time.I didn't want to have to answer the stupid questions again and again so I could not play for a while.I am sure there is a som analyst that will read this and go, "hmm..." but I haven't been to the game in two years!It is certain that it is time for me to grow up and leave for good.

The subdrop afterSL was significant.This is a way of artificially boosting sub numbers by forcing players through a really obnoxious and unintuitive sub-desub routine.Kotick is likely to mention thatWoW's sub drop was just seasonal and we recovered most of our losses during the next earnings call.
This exact action has Kotick's stench all over it, and I was once an advocate for "Blizzard is bad enough on its own".
He will make a name for himself as a CEO that brings nothing to the table.
It came to my attention that the prices in other regions are also being reviewed.
In Brazil, we will get the 30day sub for 40,00 reais and the 60 days for 84,40 Reais.This is STEEP.When they had a partnership with an internet provider here, they charged us 15 reais per sub, which is not pocket money.
I think that Blizzard is going through the loot phase now.They don't worry about who they can get back, instead they focus on what they have.
You were paying money for a piece of plastic in different amounts that allowed you to have time.The jokes on you...
I will not be changing my subscription plan anytime soon.I don't believe in fixing things that are broken.Just saying.
This is a stupid decision to limit consumers under the flag of trying to combat bots, on the other hand there are so many people who are misunderstanding that this does not affect sub discounts and using token for game time...
Change is bad.It's not a benefit to players, just hoping to get people locked into another month or an automatically renewing sub.
It's making it easier for the players.Glad that is over.Even though I did not break any of their rules, they banned me a while back for asking about Hong Kong.
Less is more when it comes to how soon they leave.Bobby needs that gold toilet.
Hey, now.Don't begrudge the man his toilets.They are important when you are that big.
