That last sentence if rather important, of course. WoW, like most any form of "intellectual property" is sold by license and you're simply buying a sort of, well, license to use it. Like paying for a permit to enter a race track but still having to pay a fee every time you come back to drive on it.
Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
[What's half of minor?]
"Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."
This is what I wanted to say but wasn't really sure how to say it. Thanks. lol
Indeed, what you own is a license for World of Warcraft, not World of Warcraft itself. They even call it a "World of Warcraft license" in their support articles. As opposed to owning a chair, you own the chair itself, not a license to use it.
Blizzard know ppl expect game time with expansion purchase at realease they should state obviously that there is not.
Blizz has always done this. It has nothing to do with Activision. They aren't hiding anything. Blizzard's explanation of shared lockouts and why they canceled the Abyssal Maw raid fits your metaphor, but no game time with expansions is a silly reason to quit.
Other MMOs do come with game time. It's easy for people be confused.
