HOLY SHIT!! A Video Game company trying to make money? Jesus.. what has the world come to? Don't they know everything they make and services they provide should come free?

I would like to point out, that there is NOTHING extra above and beyond your subscription fee that you are required to pay to play the game and enjoy every bit of it's content from lvl 1-80, apart from xpacs, which are huge and reasonably cheap to buy.

And yet, they offer extra services (which DO NOT give other players any kind of advantage) for money to offset some of their extraordinary costs (if you believe that Blizzard is making all the money they get from subscriptions you are sorely mistaken and far from reality)

If you do not wish to support Blizzard, and think they are just out to get your money, wtf are you doing on these forums. You are not here because you hate video games, even if you don't play WoW you support some other game in some way or another.

Good on Blizz, and great on them for giving HALF their sales to charity for the panda monks.

I bet you don't spit on coca-cola for selling you a product which costs them nothing to make and has a profit margin of over 5000% do you? Yet Blizzard offers services that the community has been CRYING for, and they are making them available for people. Could you imagine the frenzy it would cause if they were allowed to be free? server xfers? faction / name xfers? .. don't be so stupid please. Stop hating on a company who gives you what you want just because its not free.

Yes, Blizzard is owned by a company who enjoys profit. guess what, if you were a shareholder in Vivendi Games, you would too. The world is driven by the market, and wherever you can make money from people willing to pay for it is fair game. Grow up and join the real world.

PS sorry for being so rude and obnoxious, I blame my Swine Flu.

amen, some real facts here for children, read on kiddy winks
