Considering how much people earn where I'm from - 50€ is nothing. Pennies.

[Puzzony]

If they will raise the price to 100 bucks, then 200, some dumbasses still will whiteknight around and say BROOO ITS JUST PENNIES JUST BUY IT LOOOL 4HEAD..
I mean, it is clearly a milking attempt with the thrown in 5 level alliance/horde classic wow demo, and prople still defending it.

[Frolk]

If its too much for you, dont buy it?

If 40 euros/50USD is too much for u, then u might have bigger problems in life.
How much was it last year, 30euro/40USD, if so, holy fuck, 10euro/usd more, this will make u go broke and FORCE u to sell all ur possessions to not go bankrupt.

Next time ur at the mall, dont buy the extra 2 bags of chips, voila, saved up the 10 bucks so u can buy the virtual ticket

you don't get it, do you?

It's not about 50 euros or 100 euros or whatever the price is. It's about them increasing it by what 20%? While also providing nothing - NOTHING more than the last years. It's just pretty fuckin brash of them to do so. The best thing is they really think they provide a good show. xD

Norway must be a cool place to live in...

People who talk like this...They never learned the value of money, either never worked a minute or their life or their job is some high paying drooling in the office given by someones' protection.

It's pretty cold during the winter though. Here's hoping global warming speeds up a bit.

It's also the case that the same guy depending in which country he was born can earn for the same job 400eu or 2000eu (or even bigger disparity if it's outside of Europe). So what's for 1 guy "2 packs of chips" for another might be a whole week of food supply. The economies are just that different.

I'm glad to have the whole gold to bnet balance conversion. Still, even though I can earn a token by 1-2h of boosting (while I cannot earn 20eu by the same amount of time spent working in my country), I have a hard time finding what exactly in this virtual ticket is worth 50$. I'd rather throw the gold at 2 store mounts instead, since you don't "cash out" gold.

Do you know what... inflation is?
it is suprising in soon to be 15 years, for most people subs have not gone up, while for example stuff like bread has trippled in price.

[Deleted]

So is inflation a reason for subs to become more expensive or is sub price ok and is inflation not a reason for ticket cost increase? Does ticket money go into the same pot as sub money and WDM-income?

[kamuimac]

I wanna this I wanna that I wanna more I wanna I wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. 2010 was an expansion year, 2018 is not. 2017 had a ton of WoW content revealed including Q&As (which by the way happens this year too), and so will probably 2019. Don't pay for the ticket if it doesn't suit you.

we are not.

how many times you people need to be told this

this years offer is complete garbage so many people are not gonna buy it :0

and have every rights to call out game company on this.

[Reignfire]

If you're talking about what you could and could not do for $50 dollars, you should probably be working on your career options instead of posting on MMOC.

[Naiyano]

It's the internet guys. It still amazes me that people pay for online streams.

if you dont mind half of year of winter and darkness then sure it is

which also is a reason why half of EU didnt emmigrate there due to weather and long nights

pls stop with this nonsense.

nobody here is discussing whether they can or cannot afford it - not even a single person .

people are discussing whether its worth it. nobody cares if you start your day with burning 50 $ each day - nobody cares what you do with your money.

people are discussing whether bonuses coming with ticket are worth 50$ for them because stream for sure is not.

[Deleted]

To put it in perspective, a 5th of the livestream passes profits is used to pay for the entire blizzcon event, that's how overpriced it is.

(Last year over 1M passes were sold).

Its just the crowd that feels ashamed to watch an "illegal" free stream on youtube/twitch as if God himself is judging them.

[Deleted]

A lot of things are overpriced in life and this is overpriced as well. Just saying "but but a restaurant is expensive!but a movie!" isn't changing the fact that BOTH are overpriced and ripoffs.
