State of gaming or state of the world? – Basic Dialogue

I’ve seen so many posts through the years of “Why isn’t WoW F2P?” or “I can’t afford a subscription” and issues to that impact, but once I was 20 I had my very own CC and no points enjoying any subscription recreation.

You can’t inform me that almost all of those gamers are beneath the authorized age to have a CC, or is it the state of the world and so they can not afford to have a CC?

Just a dialogue. So no have to get all labored up when you learn this, I’m genuinely curious.

You have have a really great amount of gamers it’s simple to see loads of any form of put up although, no?

Other factor is to think about life circumstances. 29% of Americans stay paycheck to paycheck and doubtless a few of them play WoW.

I feel it’s all of the f2p money store methods being added to a subscription recreation. Lots of people together with myself assume it needs to be one or the opposite.

It hasn’t gotten dangerous sufficient for me to give up over it however they hold pushing it.

Yeah, even once I was a broke school scholar in like 2006-2010 I had no points paying the $15/month price

Honestly the typical normie wastes a lot $ on random BS purchases all through the week (a number of random stops at Starbucks for $10 coffees, a number of random fast-food journeys @ $15-$20 per meal, and so forth) I don’t see how $15/month can be thought-about unaffordable except it’s like somewhat child who actually can’t work but – however youthful varieties don’t play WoW in any case and that is an outdated individual’s recreation now. So in case you are an precise working-age grownup and may’t afford $15, I dunno what to say

That stated, I feel the sub counts would profit from the sub worth being slashed to love $7.50 or $10 monthly to account for the smaller and smaller content material servings we’ve been getting as time progresses

For instance as just lately as Legion we had been getting like 14-15+ dungeons… now we solely get 8 dungeons per expac. We additionally used to get 4 tiers and 4 seasons, now we solely get 3. And that’s simply 2 examples of the shrinkflation…

As somebody who has lived paycheck to paycheck, WoW (or MMOs basically) is nice for that scenario for the quantity of hours of leisure and social interplay it offers for a low price. Without MMOs I might have ended up spending more cash elsewhere, in all probability on worse issues.

Just my private view although, everyone seems to be totally different.

I feel it has extra to do with worth. There are loads of free to play video games which have extra content material than WoW, regardless that it has a sub. When your important content material is a single raid and eight dungeons, a number of you will have already been operating, you begin to query the prices, particularly when the sport already has F2P monetization to start with lol.

Going off your assumption everybody had a bank card, not everybody makes use of bank cards.

Some use debit playing cards and ,no that’s not the identical as a bank card.

If it’s not your account don’t fear about how others are paying for theirs.

When CoL goes up, extraneous stuff like MMO subscriptions are the very first thing most individuals axe.

That being stated, I feel the push for WoW being F2P is extra in regards to the state of gaming than the rest. F2P with a cash-shop is mostly thought-about the norm for live-service video games, possibly an preliminary price relying on the title. WoW is an outlier with an preliminary price to expansions, a money store and a sub price.

I’m undecided I agree WoW can be higher as a F2P recreation, however I get why individuals ask.

I’m a agency believer we’re at the hours of darkness ages of gaming. Business > high quality.

If you can also make a metric ton of cash purchase producing slop, why put in effort? If you may solely make them purchase it as soon as, why not cost for the little additional issues? We are the frog within the boiling pot.

I’m going via the beta proper now and I’m beginning to name it “incredibly MID-night.”

WoW can also be totally different within the sense that the overwhelming majority of its transmog, mounts, pets, quickly to be housing, and so forth is earned in recreation with solely a handful being on the store. Most F2P video games have that flipped, and likewise promote a lot worse issues.

This hasn’t been true for a reasonably very long time. Most F2P video games monetize off of cosmetics. League of Legends, Valorant, DoTA, Counterstrike, Apex Legends, Rivals and Overwatch all come to thoughts right here.

P2W hasn’t been meta for some time.

Confused, that’s what I used to be speaking about in what you quoted. The overwhelming majority of WoW cosmetics, just like the issues I listed, are earned in recreation whereas F2P titles primarily promote them.

Ok I quit. CC in gaming may be Content Creator or Crowd Control. Neither appear to slot in that sentence.
Can we get some assist?

the sport doesnt exist with out actual individuals from the actual world…so yeah..this entitlement crap is an actual world drawback

hilariously, when you watch the feedback intently sufficient and hold tabs, you’re gonna discover that the gamers ACTUALLY on restricted earnings, disabled, and so forth…are NOT those by and huge whining about free to play.

Mostly its the entitled kinds who’ve loads of earnings to pay for the sport, they simply assume somebody elses time and labor needs to be FREE for them

Theyre that entitled troll you see tossing a match on the poor cashier attempting to get a reduction at Target, lmao

To these I might say, cease paying the web invoice…its not a necessity except they make money working from home.
Get rid of the cable, reduce the quick meals and door sprint, no extra $6 starbucks each morning…and subsequent time dont purchase the automotive they ‘deserve’…purchase the automotive they will AFFORD.

Then we’ll discuss a $15 recreation sub price.

I’ve sufficient money in the home proper now to go purchase a $50,000 automotive.
you already know what I drive?
a 2011 kia rio that I paid $4200 for.
Why?
Because I dont NEED a brand new 50,000 greenback automotive.

Lots of people who play this are unemployed or NEET. Lots are in all probability on psychotic meds. Especially the idiots at Blizzard who okayed the physique 1 and physique 2 factor in character creation. Nobody was complaining about male/feminine. however no we acquired physique 1 and physique 2 for idiotic causes.

yeah. okay, Im out of the loop…I needed to look that one up lol.
Probably.
