Should Legion be offered for gold?

[Sorrowseer]

Nope, I am one of the players that can now 'play for free' as I have gold to do so, I don't think the expansion should be buyable for gold, would be nice I suppose, but paying actual money for it is fine and makes sense.

Not sure if its legal, but I usually give my guild mates gold in exchange for them buying the XPac for me. I dont think it would make much of a difference if you could buy the xpac with tokens, so why bother?

[Darmalus]

Yes!

I made a thread about it earlier.

tl:dr version: Offer a generic token on the store, then list all automated services (including digital game editions) for gold. The game automatically buys the right number of generic tokens for you off the market.

Yes. For those saying no, do you feel like you got your money's worth from WoD?

That is not relevant, monetary value of entertainment? Most people spend more than the cost of WoD on a single night out, 6-10 hrs. of fun/food/friends. So, what is money's worth of a video game?

OP, the vast majority of players don't keep 100k gold between all their alts (I have only 350k split between factions/realms). So, even *if* it did happen, Bliz will still get the money from most players.

[Delaios]

Yes, just make it some multiple of WoW tokens. 3x would be fine with me.

The tokens sell for real money from the store, so it's pretty much the same as using them for monthly subscriptions.

If the expansion costs 60, it would be 4 tokens. Just to keep it in line with using tokens actually ending up being a bonus for Blizzard.

Yes. For those saying no, do you feel like you got your money's worth from WoD?

I am indifferent as to it being for gold or not as it doesn't really matter to me. Yes I did get my money's worth from WoD. Reasoning on that? I still put in hundreds of hours of play into the game and enjoyed playing while I did. It was definitely the weakest expansion Blizz has made but it still provided entertainment value for longer than most games of the same price. The extra $15 a month wasn't really much of a bother at first as there was content to play and after tokens became purchasable I've just used those. So, if I'm just paying for the game with cash and gametime with gold It will require ~4 hours of work to pay for an expansion that will yield hundreds of hours of play regardless of it having more content than WoD... that really isn't bad at all. In fact, the only reason I have been buying tokens with gold is because I had a ton of gold stockpiled and little use for it, but in reality it takes 1-2 hours of working even a mediocre paying job to (1/8 or 1/4 of your work day) to pay for an entire month of WoW. It's like what? 1-2% of total monthly income?

[galaxyquest]

Out of curiosity, what's the point of this question?

Should or shouldn't doesn't really matter. Blizzard is going to do what they need to do to net a larger profit. That's how businesses work.

[Lochton]

Nope, unless you have a few gold caps?

[Deleted]

No but they should give like 50% discount to those who havent unsubbed in WoD

[Servasus]

No.

And why wouldn't you just make this a poll if you really wanted to know what people thought?

[MrExcelion]

It'd be nice but I don't see it happening

[EyelessCrow]

No, the only thing I would be open for gold that isn't now are mounts. If they made those BoE and sellable I would be perfectly a-ok with them making store mounts.

I do. And if you didn't you should not have bought it or stayed subbed.

If you feel you get less than 50 cents per day worth out of WoW (there are freaking breadrolls who cost more than 50 cents were I live) ...and you have no bigger worries in a day.... you really live a sheltered life

Wait what? How is one to know if they will get their money out of a game if they never buy it lol... that made me laugh.

[Kithelle]

Maybe it should be? But will they? No...unless they do it like wow tokens where someone buys a digital copy and sells it for gold.

This way they can make money...maybe even more money like they do with the token "coughschemecough" sales so they make even more money off of it while the people buying it seem to think they're cheating blizzard out of their profit.

Selling it straight to the customer for gold...will never ever happen.

[ComputerNerd]

Is there any reason why it "should ?".
No.
Can there potentially be an extension, into battle.net credit for gold ?
Yes.

I can't see any immediate reason why it should happen, but that doesn't mean it can't.

[Bodom]

Should just let us exchange tokens into battle.net balance. Would make the demand for them much bigger.

[Kyr]

should it... probably not.

could it... i don't see why not. it could work exactly like game time where someone can pay $60 or something to sell an "expansion token" for a ton of gold. blizzard still get's their increased cash just like the time tokens and players get it for gold. starting price could just be based of the current game time exchange rate and adjusted for the increased cash amount.

[Schmilblick]

I'll buy it for gold anyway.

[Metacrias]

Do you know what the 'market' is? Profit? How businesses function?

[Traveler Voltin]

sure for 1 million gold.

but really. hell no

[Ulgrim]

Legion? I don't care. Store Mounts? Definitely.
