This time the issue is about taking money for a service that should be part of the subscription.
Do you think we as a community have a real chance of changing Blizzards stance on this? We did with Real-ID, but this time we're attacking their profitability so it might be different.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

Highlighed the part I seriously agree with.
Though, you mind linking me the thread? I want to go show my support on the real forums.

Re: Cross Realm Dungeon Feature Coming Soon!
That being said, the wording of the original Blizzard post goes both ways—it implies both that only PART of the feature will require the premium service, while at the same time implying that in order to use the feature SOME person in your desired group needs to be paying for it (whoever's doing the inviting). If the former is true, the latter can't be and vice verse. If the former is the case, I'll reserve judgement. If the latter is... may I respectfully state, [expletive] you, Activision.

Re: Cross Realm Dungeon Feature Coming Soon!
Could be an additional monthly fee on top of the WoW subscription, or simply a one-time payment made available via the blizz online store. I'm really hoping it turns out to be the latter, i'm not a huge fan of recurring payments.
On the up-side, he did say: "though only the player sending the invitations will need to have access to the premium service." So only a handful of people within a small circle of friends would need to pay, and then everyone would be able to group up.

Re: Cross Realm Dungeon Feature Coming Soon!
Another game can never kill WoW. WoW is going to kill itself. Slowly and painfully, like a lobster slowly boiling to death in a pot, unaware that the heat is rising until it's too late to scream. Seeing what's happening here, I have to agree with Saturo's 'I told you so'.Saturo wrote:I told you so!

I won't be paying for this. No way in hell.

Re: Cross Realm Dungeon Feature Coming Soon!
I thought you dropped a lobster in the pot as it was boiling because cooking them slowly like that causes them to release things that make the meat taste bad. IDK though. o3oCalomel wrote:Another game can never kill WoW. WoW is going to kill itself.

Lobsters can't scream, they don't even have vocal cords. What people think is a scream is actually the air pressure coming out of its carapace as it's heating up too fast.Calomel wrote:Slowly and painfully, like a lobster slowly boiling to death in a pot, unaware that the heat is rising until it's too late to scream.

God, I never realised cooking lobsters sounded quite so cruel til it was explained to me rofl. It makes me glad I'm not a huge fan of seafood >__>
Anyway yeah. We all know what's gonna happen - a handful will buy the service, charge 1k gold per person to invite folks to groups. The rest of us will watch on, roll our eyes and tut "going down the drain". Haha.

Re: Cross Realm Dungeon Feature Coming Soon!
I know, but it's interesting to imagine the WoW-lobster squealing in agony as it's boiled to death by it's own actions. I think that a WoW-lobster might have vocal cords, since it's an imaginary thing anyway. Speaking of boiled lobsters, (a little off topic here) has anyone else noticed that the crayfish/lobster in the new Seafood feast is still moving? Also, it's really cute! Minipet crayfish, yes!Shinryu Masaki wrote:Lobsters can't scream, they don't even have vocal cords.

This.I love the idea, but paying for it since I already pay for WoW is really dumb.
