What's wrong with reusing content?

[darklogrus]

It is new though or they wouldn't have to add it in. You or I may not like it or think it is unique enough, but it is still a new version of something.

They didn't add in anything, they changed the slider from 3 to 2 and that was that. It be like them changing a quest requirement where Timmy wants 8 spider eyes to now wanting 10 spider eyes, so does that now make this a brand new quest, no it doesn't.

How dare people prefer fresh and new content to reused content. Just because they continually pay for a game, they suddenly think they can also expect continued quality? Entitled brats, all of them!

If collecting the amount of spider eyes made the quest out of reach to some then yes changing it to another option while keeping the original is adding content. In your example you exclude the fact that the original stuff isn't destroyed it now just has more settings/options.

$180 a year is more than what you pay a business product, combine that with the fact that you also need to purchase the product itself, then the rights to use it.

WoW is simply overpriced.

Overpriced for YOU. Then don't pay for it. And don't play.

I saw sometime ago complains about reused content, can someone explain me, what's wrong with that? Because personally i think, i don't imagne for example Uther's tomb on broken isles?

Reused content = content you've already bought, but have to buy again, while game developer has put zero effort into it.

Would you like to go into a restaurant and pay for eating left-overs of the day before?

Never compare an MMO to a place for food.

I love how Blizzard fanboys are trying to wipe the shit from it's arse even when no one is asking them to.
Please enjoy this 4 year old content, sliiightly reskined and retouched.

4 year old content?

...You forgot to put the 1 before the 4, mate.

Mmm no, it's very overpriced period. You can live in denial all you want. Oh and before you tell ME to stop paying for it, if the WoW token wasn't out, I definitely wouldn't be playing anymore. The game at least has the courtesy to pay for itself now.

180$ + the game for a whole year of entertainment.

That's less than a ticket for some shows, which lasts a few hours.

The same amount of cash only gets you 3 new games on release.

Take the time you play in 1 year and buy enough new games to fill that time, the total should be close to 500$.

Sure you can argue that new games are also overpriced, but at this point, in your very close minded opinion, what is not overpriced?

I'm, all good for content being recycled, I just dislike when they copy and paste it from other games in their repertoire. Like the meteor/comet spells mage's received - both of them have practically identical animations to the spells from Diablo. Ray of Frost - didn't even change the name on that ability.

I understand that there is going to be overlap among similar genres but I'd like them to create new assets for the game else I feel like I'm paying double for the same work (obviously not an issue if you don't also own D3!).

Otherwise, I really don't mind.

[Demithio]

Nothing wrong with it. I really enjoyed remakes of Onyxia (during wotlk), Naxx, Shadowfang. As long as its not over done.

[Ealyssa]

For you maybe. To me 180$ for a year of entertainment is litteraly nothing, its cheap as fuck.

Some people are on a tight budget, and thats ok. But saying "its overpriced, period" on what is certainly the cheapest hobby someone can have is really stupid.

I make $230k a year almost passively, being very young, I'm fairly certain that I can afford it. That's about 20k a month.

Edit: In a third world country that's riddled with lack of resources / money / opportunities.

WoW is overpriced, in comparison with other products.

Just do the math, how many new release games would you need to buy to fill the time you spend playing WoW?

Because that's the true math, it's not comparing WoW to ONE game, you pay for entertainment, music, shows, movies, tv series, games, etc. It's all comparable in term of duration of entertainment provided.

WoW is a lot cheaper than you think, cuz you don't think the right way, cuz yes, there is a right way of thinking and it's not yours.
