    Midnight "brokie edition" start 3 days late

    My rage flared again when i opened up Battlenet today and a pop up showed up:

    "Start 3 days early if you buy the epic edition"

    I've coped with many other practices of Blizzard but this one i really hate.

    ------

    I pay 50 bucks + sub (60 bucks), triple A game money and i get treated so disrespectfully by having to sit in my chair and watch everyone else play the game early on expansion launch.

    ------

    I have the money, i even GIFTED a friend the epic edition but i DONT own the epic edition myself, thats not the point, is a matter of principle.
    Im not paying 90 bucks for an expansion myself.

    Youre not missing much without the EA, pretty much everything is locked.
    Youre not making gold anyway so that profession headstart isnt an issue either.

    its actualy 4 days ...and wile i did get the biggest version, the early acces is honestly the least important perk imo, it is so irelevant

    also you are not paying 90 bucks just for the expansion, it also gives an extra mount i think, tenders, and gametime

    I know, i am not even the kind of player to take advantage of professions (i have none leveled).

    It reminds me more of a kid who got grounded in school for doing nothing wrong and still got grounded, cant go play with the other kids at recess.

    Okay, first: you're years late to the outrage, as TWW had "thee-day early access" as part of their most expensive bundle.

    Second, it's really not that big of a deal, at all. Can't do mythic or even heroic dungeons, delves are restricted to only levels 1-3 even if you reach max level within those 3 days, no profession quests, rare mobs and events don't spawn around the world, no world quests, etc.

    You're not starting late, you're starting right on time. We (the people with EA) start earlier.
    May i advise you to start as a warrior in Midnight? That rage will come in handy.

    There are so many restrictions in place regarding content that complaining about this is pointless.
    The idea of being in an MMOC guild, with a bunch of perpetually angry/terminally online man-toddlers who hate the game but are too addicted to stop playing it, sure sounds like a fun way to play WoW.

    All beta-testing was done during the prepatch. Early access is for farmers and people that like to levelup chars early.

    I don't think it is the biggest deal in the world, but I also can't imagine coming to the defense of one of the world's largest corporations over what is clearly a manipulative thing.

    Maybe I should join a car enthusiast forum and complain that other people got better cars than me even though I have the money I just don't want to spend it as a matter of principle.

    Imagine paying extra to work as a beta tester for almost a week. Modern gaming is just crazy.

    Damn, the "3-day early access" alone is 40 euro where you live?

    How much is it for the whole Epic edition, then? Like upwarts of 400 Euros? (/sarcasm)

    "I dont want to give them more money"

    you arent the kind of customer they are wanting to cater to then with this. You already bought the one designed for you.
