Should WoW be Pay to Play (no subscription)?

but they can’t use the forums if they quit. How should they complain about blizzard and wow if they can’t use the forums?

But serious, I think OP asked a valid question.
And i do not agree with him, I played too many pay to play and free to play to know that the cash shop will expand a lot, and if you’re not spending lots of money then you can’t really play.
Might even end up with content packs in the cash store. “pay 30 euro to enter these 3 new dungeons”.

I rather stay with what we have now, And we even just use gold to get gametime, so you’re not even forced to pay real money.

Pay per play is for rich people… not poor people.

Also this particular case is actually important.

They could not put a mount in uldir and yet they could put a mount in the store.

24

Raid reward Mounts get boring, when they transition to another impossible <1% drop Mount…

25

but we’re getting 2 mounts in the next raid. so i think they made up for it.

There is an uldir mount - https://www.wowhead.com/achievement=12806/glory-of-the-uldir-raider

27

keep talking like that and blizzard will be wanting to hire you.

It doesn’t drop off G’huun…

Using the F2P format would be a massive step towards the mobile gaming format. It’d be a massive step in the wrong direction, too, and I for one wouldn’t play the game at all.

Not a chance. I wouldn’t want to work as an Uber driver as a second job to be able to pay my bills. I’m doing quite better working for a different game company.

Blizzard should never have added mounts to raids.
Now people think they deserve a mount from every raid.

There have been a lot of raids without a mount. Why is it first a problem now? Ran out of other things to complain about?

To be fair the sub isn’t that much and I would spend a LOT more money if they went like this. I certainly did with GW2, the shame.

33

It isn’t about the raid having a mount, it’s about them putting the mount on the store instead of in the game, likely in said raid.

GW2 wasn’t that bad. I spent ~2k on Neverwinter Online. :frowning:

35

Good lord. I probably have spent similar on games but I just don’t want to know…

36

Just get around 350k and buy it with gold? it’s really the same as complaining about the 3 new frog mounts that cost 333k each. Why adding 3 mounts there instead of the raid? I bought the new mount with gold. 350k is a pretty decent price for the mount.

37

I would love to but im too busy paying for azerite respecs to get that much gold, bearing in mind, that using the wowtoken is still the same as purchasing it anyway as someone did put money into those tokens.

It was a total P2W game. At least I learned to never come close to any game produced by PWE

39

Ah yes I will never do P2W, all my purchases are purely cosmetic.

I’m not a big fan of those types of games, everything ends up being an optional extra you can buy.
