Being able to put subscription on hold wouldnt actually make that much sense as you get a discount when you buy a subscription for multiple months. You get a discount so it seems more attractive to buy 6 months than to just buy 1, but that alos means that you are gonna stick with a game for longer.
It was intended for blizz to get that last guys that like lfr to sub day before patch, when they got that subs they change it so they can buy a token for carry also, dubble money for blizz.
Sorry but when you subscribe. And click the final button and that money leaves your bank account. You’ve already bought for a month (Or months in your case) You will keep doing so until you hit cancel. There is no pause or save for later option I’m afraid.
Putting a subscription on hold is ridiculous tbh. I can see it from a normal perspective, but you just know it’ll be abused where people pause their sub for a weekend here and a day there.
Putting a time limit on this also would just make things even more complicated.
Just don’t sub for long periods of time if you’re not sure you are gonna play for that long. Some self control is nice to have.
They can really do some things to make it better for players .ffxiv lets you sub for one month for same price per month as 6 months sub per month will cost .the only limitation is you can have 8 characters and not 40 which is more then enough for almost 90 percent of subscribers on ffxiv
If you did this you could just keep pausing between play sessions and make 3 months last about 5. Blizzard would never do this no sane company ever would
