I don’t disagree with you, I was disagreeing with the poster who stated:
By pointing out that this option doesn’t really increase revenue at all.
Actually that last point was a lie because as has been pointed out to me in another thread there was actually a way to game the system by converting tokens to Blizz Balance and then buying 180 day game time for 5 tokens instead of the 6 it should have cost. Although you’d not know this from reading most of the threads about it as they are all talking about the 30 day game time option being lost so this is obviously a non-issue for them.
I am not sure why this is an issue you bring up as, as far as I recall, there have been barely any changes to any of the store prices since they were first introduced. Sure they could be made a lot cheaper, and arguably sell more and make more, but they have been set there for a multitude of reasons only one of which I suspect is to maximise profit.
Just getting headaches reading the posts here,majority of people are legit so dense and can’t read. If you want to play for 1 month you subscribe and instant unsub,it’s exactly the same you never lost it.
I’m not saying it’s a good change or anything,probably done to rise profits but all the people that bring the argument “but i can’t play 1 month now forced to play 2 months” are having problems up there.We are talking about europe here i live in a hellhole of a country and you can subscribe with every single card ,who is even affected by this change when you can do the exact same thing as always just a minor incovenience if you only bought game cards ? I can only see middle eastern people that bought gift cards(if that is something) being affected at worst if they can’t subscribe with their credit cards(don’t even know if this is true btw just assuming)
It kind does in some way, because if that person would have payed just 1 month and then play something else the next month, now you still get 2 months worth of money.
There is a sub sure but it’s still a dirty trick to do Imo, totally pointless to remove options except to try and trick people.
Well if you take that specific thing out from the context I did put it in, then it sound like I am surprised by the prices, I am not, i know those prices have been that way for a long time.
I was criticizing their customer service/refund policy, and how they change the “policy” as soon as you unsubscribe.
To be fair, I think there’s 2 main reasons for removing the 30 day gametime
The first one is saving money on payment processing. Let’s assume payment processing is $1 per payment. If one million people are buying 30day gametime, that’s 1 million going towards payment. If of those 1 million, 90% buy 3day gametime all the time or almost all the time, getting them to buy the 60 day game time saves you $900k in payment processing, and even if the other 10% quit, you’re still profiting.
The other reason is that I am dead certain many scammers, boost spammers and other types of garbage players are using accounts with gifted 30 day game time. Removing the option doubles the cost of spamming - it doesn’t cost one token now, it costs 2 tokens to get your spamming account up.
Boost spam accounts aren’t running subs with a credit card. They’re alt accounts boost communities set up by gifting them gametime with tokens.
Just to answer because I see that another discussion has started. It is temporary of course I want to find a job asap and I probably won’t be “bothered” about this anymore.
you gotta be honest as well and admit wow barely has a enough enjoyable content to keep someone playing consistently for 60 days, if they have already played wow for any substantial amount of time previously over the years.
