Allowing people to skip content devalues it, I have not seen a single request to allow people to skip content by paying an additional fee.
Is there a point to this silly remark? Perhaps if you think I am wrong you could get some figures from Bliizzard P&L statements?
I would prefer that there were enough different ways to level and that it was not overly long and boring that this item was not needed, but given that would be extremely difficult to do if this item is going to be available I would prefer that it was for in game currency.
If Blizzard cannot make content that is interesting enough that people do not want to skip it already I doubt the income from this item is going to change that.
From what I have read the Asian gaming population is a lot more transient than Western gamers as they can move from game to game without incurring the costs associated with buying a new game why would they ask to pay extra to skip content rather than moving to another game that offers content they actually want to play?
They are making a paid for item and then not expecting people to buy? Gotcha.
We had more levelling in content in Wrath than we had in Cata or have now I do not see how offering less than they previously have is doing their best.
I am not saying that at all however existence of this item suggests that Blizzard believe people will pay for it why would anyone pay to skip something they enjoy?
