Blizzard Zoomerang Survey

Certainly we're going to start seeing the fruits of the erosion of developer morality. Its been happening for a while now, and in not too long the game will fall prey to "those with the most money buy the biggest advantage".

I think they could make wow ftp without going down the path you described. For example, wow goes ftp (yay!) no one is paying anything. Now they release a bunch of pink glitter ponys or hello kitty themed vanity pets for 15-25$ respectively every month. Even a "Hey! Did you just loot the Great 2hander of Noobsauce?" Dont like the look? Well for 5$ you can design the look yourself. Really endless possibilities and much more profit potential.

In those alone I believe they will make more revenue than with subscriptions alone with out disrupting class balance thru who pays the most is the most powerful.

I am sure Activi$on is pushing hard for ftp. Its only a matter of time, how much is the question.
