Why, after three years, do people still make assinine comments like this?

learn2math / learn2bussinesexpensive / learn2figureout that asian WoW players pay a LOT less than USA / EU WoW players pay.

/sigh
Learn2math? Learn2bussinessexpensive? How about the fact that Blizzard posted a profit of $517Mil last year ($1.42Mil every day) and run a profit margin of 40%. I think blizz do an ok job at maintaining their servers, but they could be doing far better if they invested the money to do it. Here's a link to the SEC filings for those interested:

You can argue that Asian players pay less to play WoW that USA / EU players, but compare the cost of living in the various regions and relatively speaking the cost still works out to be roughly the same. We also don't have limits on playing time of the govt regulation they do. I don't mind paying a bit more for this...
