So in 6 years time?
I am just tired of the bad faith silencing some people do on the forums⌠People love and play the game. They have some thoughts how things could be better or critisim towards the game and their met with
ââDont like it?! dont play it go away you low life scum >:c Your still playing soo?ââ
I mean what even is this? Its like if you play wow you have to love everything blizzard does unconditionally. And If you speak up against anything. People take it like a personal insult.

Canât wait to see till they release the sales numbers and we found out how many people bought thisâŚ
10000000000000000000000000000 USD. 
I would agree with you if there would be no way buying mount with in-game currency. You do have a lot of valid points
Welcome (back) to the wonderful (lul) world of the WoW forums! Still surprised?

Keep it grinding peasants. Timmy with 1 swipe achieved same what you achieved in couple of months grinding for your long boi.
Everything is pointless in this game:d
Approximately, yeah.
As I see it, then the Saga will either have a finale that works as a natural conclusion to the over-arcing narrative of Warcraft, and that will be a good moment â if any â to also conclude oneâs own journey I feel. In this case, mine.
And if that isnât the outcome, then it will be because Blizzard chooses to do like they did with The Jailer and insert another hidden big baddie to prolong the narrative and drag it out just to keep the money machine going.
That will be super disappointing if thatâs the outcome, and then that will also be a good moment to quit, because itâll be the realization that Blizzard has no meaning in mind with the story, and so why stick around?
So thatâs basically my thinking. Itâs because this Saga holds the promise of a conclusion - either a satisfying one or a disappointing one - that I think it will ultimately lead to my own conclusion with the game.
I donât intend to play any game forever. At some point in time I will inevitably stop playing WoW, so I may as well choose an opportune moment. And I think the ending of the World Soul Saga is going to be that moment.
Thatâs what Iâm aiming for at least.
Iâve played this game for more than 20 years, so the notion that I can just quit on a whim is unrealistic. As long a process it has been to get more attached to the game over the years, as long a process will it be to detach oneself from the game, I think.
Thatâs why I started that process early. So Iâm settled when I decide it and I donât come running back.
I am apparently a very slow learnerâŚ
WoW Players : Oh please pee into it first so I can feel doubly smug!
If Blizzard knew hundreds of people wouldnât line up on their droves to buy this thing they wouldnât have done it.
So maybe all the blame for this utterly shameless cash grab doesnât all land on Blizzardâs doorstep if people are only too willing to part with their cash.
I eagerly await the âoh but itâs their money they can do what they like with it!â
Yeah. They can. So why are you complaining. They spent their money how they wanted right?
And given the demand for the blooming thing to return anyway, was anyone REALLY surprised that Blizzard would throw people the easiest way to get it?

Why?
Blizzard stopped putting effort into the only content I enjoy years ago (m+) - which is why I didnât play SL or DF.
Iâm here to give this expac a try and if it continues to suck I wonât be too sad bc of it

There are already people who have bought it, standing at the story event, showing it off and getting ripped into by people xD
Itâs just a sad outcome in the long-term, because it inevitably shapes who the players of Blizzardâs games are.
People who have cash to spare, and a willingness to use it.
People who like MTX in games and enjoy the product experience as much as the game experience.
And the people who are just here to play a video game and get the Blizzard quality experience that Blizzard have been synonymous with, well they slowly leave, donât they?
Isnât that whatâs happened across all Blizzardâs games?
The people who still play Hearthstone are those who simp for store bundles and pay hundreds of dollars for golden cards. The down to earth card players have already moved on.
Same with Overwatch. Those who still play are those who are okay with the shop and the monetized skins and the lack of game content. Those who could accept the total abandonment of PvE in favor of battle passes.
Those who didnât like the new direction for the game, well theyâve quit, havenât they?
Same with WoW.
WoW has less players today than it had in the past. Who have left over the years? Well who remains? People who fork over $90 for a mount and buy Deluxe Editions and 12 months subscriptions and sit on twitch for 4 hours and put money aside for a box of Mountain Dew.
Thatâs the playerbase that remains.
Thatâs kind of sad, I think.
Blizzardâs veteran fanbase used to be a very devoted bunch of gamers who played Blizzard games for the gameplay part of it.
Thatâs not really the impression anymore.

I donât think they really care tbh lol
Why do you ask when I explained why in the post you just quoted? Didnât you understand what I said?
If Blizzard couldnât make easy money by selling expensive mounts on their store, then theyâd have to work harder to satisfy players like yourself to buy their game and play it by actually making the gameplay content better.
But they donât really have that incentive anymore, because it doesnât matter if you quit because you donât like the dungeons in the game. A couple of players buying the $90 mount will outweigh that revenue loss, plus itâs cheaper on the development side of things to recolor a mount than improving the dungeon gameplay content.
So gamers become expendable in favor of shoppers.

Well to be fair WoW ended with the Lich King death⌠anything after that is just made up to keep it going
Well the main bad guy is now gone to the next expac so I wouldnât hold out that it gets resolved in 2 more lol unless they Guldan her
Played from TBC just before to Cata zero breaks MoP onwards is where I sub here and there, when I come back its worth it for me.
If you wanted to send a message it was in Cata when they first did the store mountsâŚ
Apathy is death.
