I wish every time I bought a car from Honda, they would remember that I pay money for their product and give me a free lawnmower every few years.
I wish that every time I paid my credit card bill they would remember that I'm paying their bills and pay my bill for me every few years.
I wish Apple would realize how many phones I'd purchased and how quickly they go out of date and just buy me a new phone every few years.
I wish my weed dealer would realize how much weed I'd bought off him and just give me a free bag of weed every few years... wait this one actually happens.
The entitlement of some people in this thread is mind boggling. Be thankful they even continue to make the damn game.

iirc, didn't they give a pet back during the 5th anniversary? They might as well include a mount on the 10th or make something special atleast...
If your paying monthly for a car, it means you got it on finance. Which is actually an optional service that they offer. You basically walked out of the lot with a car for free. I would say that counts as a gift.
Credit card companies offer benefits for long term users all the time. Next time your contract comes to an end, threaten to leave and see what you get.
Anytime I've had a broken Apple product, they have replaced it on site. I call that a reward for loyalty.
I don't think its a sense of entitlement, I think its more a sense of being unappreciated. If I had been subscribed (without breaks) since the beginning, I would expect some appreciation. You have been there through the hard times when all your friends are leaving because they are bored. Some months you might not play at all and you leave it ticking over just because. These are the people that deserve rewards for supporting blizzard. Not just some scheme to try and get people to come back, log in and get a gift.
Everyone who does not feel a WoW sub is worth teh money SHOULD indeed quit, it's moronic to play and bitch on forums when you have the option to just not play. As for people who are already unsubbed and still go on the forum to bitch, I have nothing to offer in description of that behavior.
Uh, Rift is by NO means "dead." It has won many awards and it's playerbase, while not as big as WoW, has always been steady. In fact, since they went free, it's gone up a great deal.
The fact of the matter is, if you're going strictly by player loss, WoW is dying. It was at 12.5 million and is now below 8 million. I'd say losing over 25% of your player base isn't healthy. They could stand to make players feel more appreciated.
The years we got pets people complained about those too. It doesn't really matter what they do someone is going to gripe about it.
I just can't help but feel it's underwhelming when they set the bar with pets previously.
That reminds me, I should send Blizz a christmas card this year. I'll just use an old card sent to me last year, just cross out my name and put Blizzard on it, should do the trick.
Because in the past they have given us free birthday toys to play with..it's not like they lack unreleased pets to give us...lil malygos, lil alextraza etc >.<
If people are going to bitch either way why bother? Blizzard seems to be of the mindset "Damned if we do, damned if we don't" and I can't blame them, their players are the most miserable ungrateful self entitled brats out there, and yes I am including myself because of my stance on LFR and all the cross realm stuff. Quite honestly I am surprised Blizzard hasn't issued a statement basically saying "Go screw yourselves we are doing what we want, either you like it or you don't"
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people - Martin Luther King, Jr.
What would have been cool was an item that gave 100% bonus rep and XP.
9% is pretty worthless, considering the only grind at 90 anyone really has left is Shao-hao, and 9% isn't enough to get me interested in the ~2000 mob grind. Oh well, hope next year has something cool, but I expect something terrible.
Because people are obviously bitching because they got the Blizzard bear amirite?
What you're talking about is a completely different topic altogether. If you're going down the road of 'Blizzard shouldn't do it cuz everyone will bitch anyways' then we might as well not have any new content, cuz guess what? People will bitch about it. And apparantly, that's what you want and are satisfied with, and feel that everyone else should be content as well.
