Reading this thread has been the most painful thing I did whole week and I got my balls caught in a mouse trap on monday.

It’s certainly been one hell of a rollercoaster

There are no guarantees for anything to be honest. We have been lucky that the general sub price has only increased once over the course of the last 15 years as it would have gone up by a wee bit more if it had followed the general trend of inflation.
They could announce a 20% increase across the board on all subscription methods tomorrow and all we could do is suck it up or decide it’s no longer worth our while to pay.

So do I. It could be payment processing charges. You have to include fraud and fraud prevention and the admin costs of chargebacks and dealing with queries in that, as well as direct charges. These are a serious cost factor for any business taking cards at scale.
Definitely. That puzzles me, too.
But that’s where we part company. Blizzard know all the numbers and processes we don’t, and after analyzing all that, if they thought they were going to lose money, they wouldn’t do it.
The shop is the only way to pay for a month sub with a mobile payment because I dont have a credit card and I dont want to use paypal, remove the option for EU next and I’m done with the game. On the way to making this expansion the worse ever I see, good going
PS : Nevermind they already removed the options, well end of this month my time is over with this game, good going !
I don’t think the vast majority of replies care Jito, they just want to believe the bandwagon with the big red sign saying “lets buy bobby another yacht”
No amount of explanations will work.
You and I know the difference between game time and subscription models.
You’re banging your head on the wall like I do when trying to explain to people the difference between a pre purchase and a pre order.

You know a lot of people used the 30 days option from the store right ? Not every country allows just anyone to have a credit card and some people dont use or dont want to use paypal so that was the only option to have different means of payments, this is just going to get people like me to unsubscribe because they dont want to commit to 2 months sub
Us in UK have had this for months but nobody made an uproar back then .
Well removing it from a single country and from 2 whole continents is going to give different results, that’s a normal thing
Ofc now it affects you it matters but you didnt care when it happened earlier .
I used to be able to buy my friend game time i can not now but when said about it none of you chipped it we just got told to deal with it .

I’m not saying I didnt care I’m saying I didnt even know about it, I have no idea why you’re trying to put the blame on me for not caring when I didnt even know about it in the first place, I only knew that they did some changes to Australia I think it was because of their currency, they didnt remove sub options only price changes
Was even a sticky for a while .

I personally didnt see it as far as I’m aware otherwise I would have posted about it, however my point is that the more people it affects the more uproar there will be and that’s a normal thing, and hell I hope it will keep going until they go back on this terrible idea for both regions

Trust level 3 where art thou
well time to give wow some time then!
Good for you, now if you can’t work out whether yiu like a game in 2 hours, then you need help.
Not to mention, you get everything upto Shadowlands and 30 days FREE at the start.
As for predatory, there is nothing hidden from you, all is there for an adult to make a conscious decision, there is nothing thrown at you after you’ve signed up.
Stop being a drama queen, the option is there for anyone to try the game before any funds are spent, and then 30 days to make their final decision.

Are you really trying to justify this terrible change ?

Why do you think its a terrible change?
I pay via mobile payment because I dont have a credit card and I dont use paypal, this is making me unable to pay for one month at a time.
