    Remember, that’s the third time you have to pay! The first rug pull is when you buy the game and then find out that the entire world is utterly devoid of players because everyone only plays the latest expansion. But you can’t access it because you don’t have a subscription. On top of a full price game.

    Besides the switcheroo, I also think it’s sad for WoW. Its world is massive and beautiful and utterly dead. Everyone is only in the latest zone. The game would be better named “Zone of Warcraft”. I love how e.g. Elder Scrolls Online solved it. They made all zones viable. You will see players everywhere. It’s a real contrast.

      I don’t understand why people whine about subscriptions so much. Servers ain’t fucking cheap to run for millions of players, the options are microtransactions or subscriptions and I prefer subscription almost every time.

        People would be OK paying a subscription if Blizzard didn’t fire all of their game masters and let the game be infested with bots and extremely racist and homophobic players. Ticket wait time are 2 months… you’ll pay $30 before your report is even seen and then completely ignored.
