    to me, it will be too far when i actually feel like i have to buy something outside the game to compete within the game. thats my line.

    If you didn't have to get gear each season/tier, what exactly do you do in-game in terms of progression? Just curious what idea(s) you have that would replace the current progress cycle, which is obviously a core part of MMO/RPG play.

    Making all extra paid services and expansions free is frankly a terrible idea, business-wise.
    To throw my two cents in, I couldn't care less about "progression" beyond reaching max level to be able to do bgs. Random bgs and scenarios are pretty much all I cared to do when I played. I played the game with my two brothers, and due to my extremely inflexible schedule, there was no opportunity for me to be in a guild or on a rated bg team that I had to coordinate my time with, even if I were so inclined.

    I have serious trouble focusing on one or two characters. There are 34 specs in the game, eleven of which I would like to be able to play, spread across eight classes. There is absolutely no way I could completely gear out eight classes, let alone get enough gold to gem and enchant them every single season (professions are work, not play). The fact I have to constantly grind (or more to the point, treat the game as a second job) out gear just to be able to compete in random bgs so I can have fun is the complete antithesis of what a game should be. I don't want to be crammed into two classes when I want to play eight. Hence why Blizzard would be virtually guaranteed my subscription until they shut the servers down if they would implement a gearless bg system, where I can log in and have fun pvp'ing with whichever class I feel like playing, without having to devote hours and hours of not having fun just to be able to do that effectively.

    You mean the 'no flying BS', before even the Beta comes out? Think you might have overreacted just a tad?

    -further homogenization of classes. Thankfully Blizzard is stopping this by not adding any new abilities in WoD
    -blizzard selling gold, gear, power boosts at max level, bonus roll coins, reputation
    -subscription price no longer reflecting quality of in game content

    Paying $15 a month to sit in a queue for an hour to play the game. Remove one of the two and I might come back. Though removing both would go a lot further.

    That's only if you consider Raid Finder the only part of this game worth playing for, which is laughable to say the least.

    So, you decide what others should enjoy or personally consider content worth doing. Good to know.

    Dailies similar to start of mop will make me quit. If 'playing the game' meant LFR to me, I would quit.

    I was assuming he was talking about queue on the busy big realms like Stormscale - Eu however there is plenty of free transfers to get off those realms.

    The recent events actually made me unsub for the first time ever. I might come back, but it's a maybe depending if I dont find something I like more

Now that game has changed to become a tactical arcade lobby game.

    I think people will pay money for shorter queue times.

    Last time I played I queued for a LFR, it was an hour so I queued for another, which was a hour and who minutes. I decide to do some bg's and queue which was 22 minutes. I just decided to log and play another game

    Rift was the pinnacle of amount of raiding content before it went F2P, not so much now.

    In WoW at least we have had 50+ raid bosses this xpac (I am not happy about how they paced the release of said 50 bosses though but that is a different story).

    I do not want WoW to go F2P until they will 100% make more money as that means they will be able to support it like they currently do.

    Fixed that for you, it is a shame as well.

    Competition is good for WoW and I fell Rift caused the influx of content we saw at the start of MoP.

    I have no idea what is going on now though....

    Personally I like Rift's model at the moment. I also have no issue with subscribers being given priority and convenience being dialed back for free players, but things like limiting the number of action bars and actual access to flashpoints and warzone was a touch obscene. Limiting the number you can run in a week vs actually keeping you out unless you pay is just an awful cash grab.
    Kind of off topic, but it's surprising the industry as a whole hasn't really observed the mistakes made in the rise and fall of SWTOR. The lack of endgame, The lack of risks, the lack of variety in player classes. and the lack of repeatable content had a lot of players hit cap and quit.

    If they had shaved 10 levels out, and used the removed zones to make 2 new warzones, and more endgame "Raids" (I wanna say they called them Operations) they would've had a much deeper endgame, and blueprints for a 10 level expansion that would literally not have to ret-con your prior choices to why you're still doing what you're doing going forward (Imperial agent..)

    If WoW moved FTP, and had a model even remotely close to SWTOR, that would be a massive cockblock. Even staying subbed in a SWTOR style game is a bit painful, knowing that the economy is basically driven by whales and RNG booster packs.

    If an expansion features lore that interests me very, very little, I may be inclined to skip that one. Hasn't happened so far.
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    1. If they released a Kung Fu Panda Island Expansion and decided we play that for over a year
    2. If they jacked the price of expansions up to $50
    3. If they lazily removed flying mounts in the new expansion in lieu of designing content
    4. If they allowed everybody to skip all the old, tedious content but for an outrageous fee
    5. If they expected us to play the same raid content, over and over
    6. If they let my server die, and then charged me $55 to transfer my toon to play with my friends
    7. If they started to blatantly lie or go back on promises
    8. If they started to recolor and re-skin everything instead of designing anything new
    9. If they still charged a monthly fee while planning new (paid) content releases a year or more apart
    10. If during the drought of content provided to justify a subscription, they released paid content on the store regularly
    11. If they made me feel unappreciated and taken advantage of

    Wait a second. I guess I have to quit now.
