it seems blizz heavily tries to utilize FOMO as a means of re/gaining subscribers

[Twdft]

That's how it seems to me at least. Especially this expansion.

Care to explain what exactly you mean? I can't think of a single thing.

What the hell does 'FOMO' mean!?!

[enigma77]

FOMO means: Fear Of Missing Out.

Content, please, it helps with a discussion.

If people feel lured by "FOMO" then that is their issue, and not really the company.

Weeeeeelllll.. It also heavily depends on how the company is introducing it. MT is already know as being this timed thing back in Legion, so it doesn't surprise me that some people respond the way that they do regarding FOMO.

Yes, it's their own fault for not participating/being able to play/unsubbed during the timeset in Legion. But it's rehashing the same thing, giving off the exact same vibe.

So you're saying a for-profit company is using strategies to maximize profits? Amazing.

In other news - water still wet.

Flavour of the Month. I remember it being used about Retribution Paladins back in WotLK and it probably evolved since then

That is FotM... FoMO is 'Fear of Missing Out'... hence limited time events with unique rewards.

Ah sorry. I must be getting old

[Cæli]

seems? lol
they're abusing this method since years...

[Lodreh]

Look at it from a game dev's point of view. If Timewalking was available all the time, people would get bored of it and would eventually stop playing it...

Funny FFXIV doesn't have this problem. All dungeons are available and viable leveling routes or end game currency sources... at least once a day... if you accompany someone who has never been you even get bonuses. Having all the content always available doesn't seem to cause people to get bored and quit.

[Ryzeth]

there is definete FOMO atm with people being forced to sub now to gear their chars so they can do mage tower once it is releaed in 3-4months because onl ytiem they can do it wil lbe once every half of year.

its disgusting predatory tactics.

there is nothign that suggest this to be true

for al lwe know it may be 1 time thing that wont return for years and once again without original or sl version of transmogs .

Literally part of Legion Timewalking. Can't believe I'm even responding to someone who types the way you do, good lord.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Using terms we do not understand, I see.

[Soon-TM]

If OP is talking about them refurbishing Mage Tower, it won't work as FOMO in my case. Been there, done that, and I'm not particularly interested in a crappy recoloured set.

I dunno i heard the word on reddit.

If only there were a website where one could google the meaning of words and acronyms.

[Darsithis]

Nothing? Which timewalking reward was ever taken away?

Might be thinking of the MoP timed dungeon transmogs. If you didn’t get them then, it’s too late.

this is just interpreting things in the absolute worst way possible. mage tower will be available with Legion timewalking. timewalking is a permanent addition to the game. yes it has limit availability, but its not going anywhere. there has been more to suggest its indefinite addition (scaling for timewalking being the most obvious) than to suggest its a limited time event and will be gone forever afterwords.
