Blizzard Store ingame items should be free if theres no content

[TheorynPhilispohy]

Mounts, Transmogrify, Name change, Faction change should be free if you are subbed.

If you are still subbed and there's no content then how do you justify paying for something that does not give you nothing in return for a while, lets say 10 months. Blizzard should give us an option to get something in store for free to get at least get worth of your sub, someway.

"If there is no content, unsub" - Nope, people still play and are subbed even if there is a content drought.

[Heavens Night]

Well they don't have to be still subbed do they? If they do then that's their choice, even when the content is dry.
Go play something else, there are plenty of other and better games rather than complaining about wanting free shit.

[Accendor]

Agree on anything cosmetic (in an subbased game everything should be available ingame IMO)
Account services however should double in price to adapt to inflation and prevent abuse.

I don't think an objective reaction (Here's free stuff from the Blizzard store) to a subjective issue (There is no content) is a good stance to take when someone's definition of no content can vary wildly from person to person.

[Daedius]

They are essential "ingame" now... because you can use gold to buy WoW Tokens, convert those to battle.net balance... and use said balance to buy them!

The 2m gold Spider mount costs €~140 if we're going by current 300k (EU) token cost... and those online store mounts are €25.

Cosmetic changes like character race / gender / skincolor change should be cheaper.

Server/faction transfers have more impact on the community so are priced like this.

The sub is already access to all 20-110 content.

If you really want the store mounts "free" use gold to buy them.

Question: Who defines "no content" in this system? Because if it's Blizzard, who ultimately would have control of your idea, then you're shit out of luck.

You pay for servers and customer support, not for patches. Patches are free extra stuff, that they are in no way obliged to deliver.

that does not give you nothing

Double negative... So it gives you something?

Skin Color Changes should be free... add a tanning section in the Barber Shop.

[Konteil]

really? if teh game isnt fun anymore unsub

Agreed, when 3 races already can do it.

Race change without name/gender change could also be nice if it's cheaper option.

[Leih]

There is plenty of content in WoW. Always has been.

Just because there's not content you want to do, or haven't done already, doesn't mean there's "no content."

You should probably be more specific in your desires!

[l33t]

It is free though. You buy tokens for in-game cash you get by playing the game, and you redeem the token and get b-net balance, which you can use to buy anything digital in blizz store. Wish already fulfilled.

[CreatureLives]

If everything in the shop was meant to be free they never would have been made in the first place.

All of those services are way too overpriced. Other than the lvl 100 boost none of them should cost more than 10-15 bucks. It's crazy if I want to change factions or servers I need more than 1 token. Blizzard should be encouraging this not trying to make people not want to do it. People might have friends on other realms or factions and by them being able to go play with their friends there is a good chance they'd keep playing the game longer thus giving them more money in the long run.

If you are subbed it means that you are happy with the service they provide, be there a lack of new content or not. So yeah, if you don't think the content is worth 13€ you should unsub, not get a useless mount for free.

[pateuvasiliu]

What do you mean by no content? If you mean that you cleared all raid content... that doesn't mean there's no content left. Hard modes are a thing. You have it good these days.

Imagine if people unsubbed as soon as they cleared the raid tier in Vanilla/tBC/WOTLK.

[Deleted]

I think selling mounts is free, but charging for server transfer is pure greed and nothing else. The majority of games that still uses servers (most mmo's out in the past 5 years don't) gives transfers for free, or at least makes it possible with ingame currency

I am guessing that you weren't playing in Mists of Pandaria, right?

And no, that isn't how it works. You can unsubscribe if anything goes against you.

Can't even clear all raids, one hasn't opened yet.

And that is why, you don't have to buy them, simple!

"You pay for servers and customer service" I loled.

I can't imagine a hard fact being that funny.

Where do you think the funding for wages/equipment/management/training comes from? Our money.
