I would agree with this, if any other things that were "tested" in the Chinese market ended up here. We don't have their pay models, we're not subject to their censorship (which could lower the rating and bring more younger players/money in).
Of course this is about money, and companies are seeking income above all - but from the hysterical freakouts the community has been having, after news coming out from a disconnected market, don't you think Blizz is smart enough to understand that the community that flooded pservs for free, and came BACK to Blizz to pay money for that same previously free experience, is not looking for massive changes to the game? They would all leave, and Nost 3.0, or whatever, would pop back up. Blizz would lose subs and money if they introduced this token in an attempt to make more money. Yes, if you skim the details it makes business sense to add extra income sources. If you understand the product, consumer base, and how the system works, you understand that adding this to Classic in the West would lose money. I simply have faith that Blizz gets this, based on 100% of their track record with the Classic project. Everything they've ever said and done proves that they know what we want, and they've been delivering on this. Call it naive, whatever, but I simply don't believe it. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, and if so I'll be done with WoW, but I still have faith in their Classic team, because they've not given us any reason to doubt them.

That's fine bro - I'll gladly eat it, and will rage right along side you. I don't think we're there yet, though. I'm a humble guy, though, I'll take it
