Troll post and bait but goddam if that doesn't make some kind of sense. Only downside would be blizzard absolutely WOULD gut the rest of wow to incentivise people. No more tier, no more gear skins, Nothing for those unwilling to pay 60 bucks every 2-3 years, 15 a month and then 59.99USD three or four times an expansion for raids
Wrath baby and proud of it
Definitely. Such a small portion of the playerbase ever steps into Mythic raiding (3% usually?) that they should do something to make that content justify the resources spent on it. Far more effort is spent tuning and balancing that content for 3% of the players than on content for everyone else.
It should perhaps be an arena tournament realm style cash purchase also where everyone has template characters, would allow for tighter tuning and you'd have less issues with Mythic guilds account sharing and buying characters and such.
Considering that you pay (more than!) the cost of the expansion for each content patch... It just feels bittersweet when you come to that realization.
Especially if you look at the shittier/slower expansions like WoD. Even looking at Legion you're still spending a lot per patch.
Regardless, the only reason I'm still around is because the game throws gold at you and WoW tokens are a thing. If they weren't, I wouldn't still be playing because it's not worth $15/month to me.
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
Not even close to Jaylock's bait level.
I've got a better idea.
Let's bar the access to all the end-game content behind the special vouchers. Each voucher would cost about 15 Euro and get you temporary access to a certain type of content. Want to do some raiding? Buy a Raid Voucher and you can do so for the following week. Want some PvP? A BG Voucher or an Arena Voucher. Want some mythic+? A Dungeon Voucher is waiting for you. Oh, and bosses would no longer drop loot. It would now come from chests which can only be unlocked with special keys sold on the Blizzard store.
You would also get an insane amount of non-stackable loot crates from any world content you'd be doing which would require the very same keys. So you'd better buy those keys lest your inventory will be spammed by the crates and become unusable.

Raiding as a whole should be paid content, and every raid should come with a prize tag of 20 dollars.
Hahah yes! Let's but the game, then buy a part of the game, then pay monthly to access it!
...The increndible thing is, they would cash in more that way since less than 10% of the paying playerbase cares about current Mythic content.
that has got to be the dumbest thread i have EVER seen on mmo-c EVER
It beats all of Jaylocks threads by miles

Meh, people purchasing tokens net them more profit in the end, so it's not a bad thing I suppose that people support the market for them.
But nope, your "realization" still tells me that WoW @ 12 euros monthly is the single best value hobby I've got in terms of money spent vs hours had per month.

Make non-gathering professions a store thing most people have no need outside of gathering at least they can make gold off of the people that do pay for it
"How you build your character is not a feature of a MMORPG, it is the feature. Everything else is secondary even the gameplay itself is secondary to building your character, its the kind of stuff you think about when you are at work or school and couldnt wait to go home to play WoW or Diablo 2. We have all done it." ~Into, 2016
Such tasty bait, No it shouldn't, hiding expansion content behind a paywall is retarded.
I've seen games where they have a "piecemeal" option to purchase stuff like raids/quests/etc, basically deluxe content patches...
Paying a monthly sub gives you access to all content, but paying a onetime fee gives you that content permanently regardless of sub status.
I doubt this would work effectively in WoW, though.
