Free Level 85 if you are NOT subbed on March 12

[GKLeatherCraft]

Untill we actually see anything posted about this at all, then i won't bother concerning myself with it, Probably won't after either lol

[Martinussen]

Imo they should give something for the people who sub every month for x months...

Feels like an amusement park. I got a card so i can enter when i want, but i still have to wait in line and such.

Then the people who didnt want the card, they get a free week where they can skip lines and such for no additional price. Sure i can try the rollercoaster more, but still doesn't seem quite fair...

If you have no idea what to do on a class and try to level 85-90 you will get your ass kicked, so they will most likely be somewhat competent by the time they hit 90.

I holy shocked a paladin to 85 last expansion, as well as attonement smited and penanced my way to 85 on a priest.
The leveling experience tells you little to nothing about your class ... google however does.

Well, "if" it's true... It is all about this:

"There is no need to bait the hook if the fish is already in the boat"

Trying not to sound too nostalgic, but games used to award their long time players, rather than their short term players. I reckon that's why a lot of players find it hard to find a proper new game these days, and stick with WoW for lack of better (hence all the whining about how the game is dying). It's more rewarding to jump ships than to stick to just one.

Good business or not, it feels like peeing your pants to keep warm to me.

they're doing this bullshit again?! what the fuck... when do the fucking players that have been subbed for 6+ years STRAIGHT get new fucking 85???

Couldn't of said it better myself, thats if this is true. Played since beta and never ever have i felt blizzard care about long term subscribers, only things i got free was for logging in on wows anniversary. Of course i don't think this would bother me that much if it wasn't for new/infrequent players getting alot of the good things.

Time to take off the rose-tinted glasses. Games that used to award long term players were too elitist. They catered to people who wanted to feel like special snowflakes.

The new policy is clearly better. Blizzard has realized that they no longer have to please long term players to be profitable. Welcome to the future.

While i don't agree with the aggressive angle you took here lol, i do agree with the sentiment, that's one thing i loved about Aion, Veteran rewards, it made you feel valued for once, and Blizzard don't seem to do anything about telling their long term players "thanks"
Even the anniversary rewards have gotten stale now, used to be cool things, not the same letter twice in a row lol

[Machomaije]

I still dont get why Blizzard gives the players who quit gifts, instead of giving gifts to the ones who actually play and pay every month. Blizzard logic

That's a huge bunch of crap lol, It is true, and it helps, it doesn't have to be much of a reward, just something to say they appreciate your sub, that has fuck all to do with special snowflakes or elitism, You're really getting those terms confused with something else :P

I really don't get why only unsubbed people get these perks.
I have been paying every damn month for God know how many years now, and it's really annoying me, that only the ones that does NOT pay every month are getting free perks.

Make it damn equal or at least throw of something to the people who are paying for it!

I get what I pay for, I know that, and that is why I am gladly paying each month, but it really can't be true that people that are not even playing the game are getting better perks than the ones who does.

Either make it equal or don't even implement it.

You would probably get mad if I tell you that Blizzard gave me 6 free MoP trial weeks. Then of course I used a few SoR bonuses and got that free level 80 character.

Reminds me of when i was in the UK, paid taxes all my life but when it came to getting medicine or dental care i had to pay yet people on welfare got it all free. So i pay for this system for other people to use yet i can't use it for my benefit, well played. Just screw over the people who actually pay regularly /Rant

You had to pay for healthcare in when you lived in the UK? You must be the only one considering the rest of the people in associated countries within the UK didn't.

[Clarke]

they should just give subbed players free 90s instead imo.

That's because taxes don't cover healthcare, NI contributions do, but even so, you did still get free healthcare, could'v had operations and go to the doctors etc

Wouldn't people that have been unsubbed not want to continue playing on their old main anyway?

[Deleted]

Just like last year, get a free level 85 if you are NOT subbed.
Someone says the date is March 12.

Anyone heard anything about it?

No.
Someone who dosent pay for the game, gets something.
We who pay for the game today, gets nothing?
Seems legit.

Ok "NI contributions" which lets be fair is a tax with a fancy name. I obviously wasn't referring to the entire system but particular parts of it which felt i was being punished for having a job.

Yeh, The cost of prescriptions is very high, way too high IMO, I don't know about Dentists as i have to see a specialist NHS dentist as normal ones won't treat me:<

Monk leveling is super easy anyway. Full heirlooms + 10% guild perk + 1 hour daily 50% exp boost = Level 85 Monk in about a week.

[Gingercrab]

This is fake, folks.
