The truth about the choopers

[Deleted]

You have to log in before Sep 30th = Active sub required = 'Forced' to renew sub at least once = More active subs before Q financial results = Fake profit for Blizzard
Nuff said. Blizzard has so stupid people who come up with such a terrible ideas.
And no, the date mentioned before has nothing to do with the WoD release.

[Stroved]

Your not forced to re-sub at all. Don't want the chopper? Don't re-sub.

[Hyve]

... How can you say it's a stupid idea when actually that's a smart idea?

They're a company, of course they're going to try and get you to re-subscribe as often as they can ...

[Terra]

When you dont play anymore. Why would you care about an ingame Item?
0/10 but nice try

There are people who like to be milked and people who don't. The world has gone wrong.

[Budong]

What's a 'chooper' ?

What's a 'chooper' ?

If that made you feel better ...

It's not stupid if it works,...

Also it's a chopper, not a chooper.

[MonsieuRoberts]

So you dislike when businesses orchestrate plans and ideas to generate profits? Everyone who's playing will get a free Horde mount. If a mount means so much to a person who's not subbed, then they'll resub for it.

You're paranoid. And a booger, probably.

[Sunseeker]

Yeah I mean, it sounds a little Machiavellian, but ya know, if it works...

[shoc]

How would it be fake profit? They are offering incentive for people to resub, it's called "making money". It's just regular profit.

I'm wondering how many more chopper threads we need.

[BrerBear]

OMG you have to play the game to get the free items!!?!
Someone alert the authorities.

Oh shit blizzard is forcing you to subscribe again before WoD because the challenge mode gear will be removed and the mount from Garrosh HC will only be a 1% drop, you might even need to subscribe for months to obtain it! Totally unfair and greedy by Blizzard!

You're assuming that people who has already quit the game will feel forced to obtain every limited item ever. I for sure don't feel stoked about getting a mount that ~60% of all players will have gotten for paying a fee during a certain time period.

[Hyve]

There are people who like to be milked and people who don't. The world has gone wrong.

And there are people who are actually fine with this, shocker...

At least 16.

Holy crap, why are there so many negative people on this forum, bitching about everything?

Or you can use the free 10-days option?

[Graeham]

In all fairness it is a pretty shady move when one considers that a lot of people have unsubscribed due to there being no new content for eleven months.
