Brace yourselves, another hike in gold prices in EU tokens inc!
While hearthstone packs have separate prices in every eastern european and middle east currency, WOW doesn't, so they have all to live with the Euro conversion rate, and it's funny how in every token discussion there is "that guy" who says "lululul I can work 1h longer and earn 20$ more" while in some eastern EU countries you earn an equivalent of 200-300$ a month. Yes, the living cost is cheaper, but gaming isn't. Only Russia gets separate prices in WOW, all the other small countries than don't use euro have still to be treated in euro conversion rates.
i have been avoiding server transfers for a long time because how expensive it would be for me to move my core characters. now it becomes even more expensive while blizzard REFUSES to adress dead servers. so this is basicly blizzards way to say "empty your walled or fuck off"
We have people in US that have avoided it forever as well because of the price. It's actually been cheaper for you guys recently since euro is alot closer to 1 usd now than it used to be.
Now it's roughly the same soo...people who refused before will refuse now, and people who still buy them are giving blizz the same amount of money in the long haul...not more
Also, blizz's refusal to address dead servers is an interesting concept to me...CRZ? Premade groups? Hell you can even do Mythic raids (once the next raid comes out) without being on the same server now. There could definitely be more done to actually help the dead servers but I don't see these things as a refusal to address it.
The conversion from US Dollar is so shitty right now.
No, its not. If Blizzard was halfway interested in something else than making money, you'd read a thread with the title where they lower or remove the prices or such automated services. They make great games, but dont act like there is no alternative to Blizzard games. This is blasphemy.
Blizzard should do some research what price elasticity means, they've probably never heard of it.
Good job I don't pay Blizzard anymore, been using nothing but WoW tokens bought via gold. Absolutely scumbag move by Blizzard though, they claim its because they look over world markets and adjust prices accordingly, yet the US prices seem to dodge these hikes all the time, load of drivel.
Yes, yes inflation and ratio of different currencies, sure, it's a thing.
Problem is tho, it's overpriced and always was. Compared to the effort, or compared to other games offering the same services for half or even less. One could argue about this but imo if they cut all prices of these services by 50 percent, they would gain in the end. IMO.

Gul'dan was just a setback.
So, KJ is breaking away from Sargeras...betcha that's their out from the players facing Sarg. The battle will be for Argus, KJ goes down, Argus is redeemed, but Sarg is still out there.
I don't get why a character boost should cost more then an AAA game....
Thanks Brexit! The pound continues to devalue...I look forward to Marmite being the new currency. In all seriousness though. Those charges are a joke. Unless people are willing to vote with their wallets, nothing will happen. '
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
