WoW F2P when?

After Legion flops, we'll see.
>F2P
>getting the backlash from all the cucks whole payed for years
No.
>>331407258
>>331406571
It's already completely F2P up to level 20 (and profession up to Journeyman)
If they get really desperate they might compromise and make it F2P up to 60 (and profession up through Artisan). That would still leave them with half the game behind a paywall.

No different than the trial that existed since 2005, it just isn't time capped.
You're grasping at straws now
Hasn't it been f2p for almost a year now?

You can buy a WoW Token for ingame gold, wich literally makes the game f2p because gold is easy as fuck to acquire.
>>331408141
if by free you mean you have to buy the game, but not payng subs then yes. B2p is more accurate.
>>331408406
You still have to pay for a sub at least once, in addition to buying the game itself to get started in doing that.
It's free to play if you've already payed for it, which at best would make it like Guild Wars 2.
>>331408406
I think those tokens used to be like, what, 20-25k gold? Last time I checked, which was a long ass time ago, they shot up to like 80-100k. Unless you live on the AH or bot, that's a straight up waste of time for a sub.
>>331408549
The fuck are you on about? WoW tokens are only 38k right now in the US, that's fucking chump change considering you have a -month- to do it each time.
>>331408549
US Realms are at 39k
Euro at 85k

Neilson worked on a range of titles, including World of Warcraft, the Warcraft RTS games, the Diablo series, the StarCraft series, and earlier titles like The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne. In his time, Neilson worked in roles ranging from art, graphics and audio to a more recent focus on writing.
He's not someone really -that- important.
>>331408549
85k in EU
40k in US
40k can be easily acquired by logging in twice a day for 5 mins to complete garrison missions and start new ones.
>>331408203
do you pay for it?
People quit jobs and are replaced all the time, what's the big deal exactly?
>>331410965
It is a goo incentive for internet drama and wanting to see the game you love but hate burn into the ground, so you are no longer able to keep paying for it, and thus removing responsibility and guilt from the player.
>>331407258
how is that different from any other game?
>>331407482
I'd love for it to be raised to 60
>raised to 60
>all the heuhuehue and chinamen take their f2p 20s to 60
>old skool twinking for vanilla content becomes a thing
>players create guilds for 60-only raids and pvp
>/v/ has a reason to dust off their naxx geared 60 they stopped playing
based 3rd worlders making WoW fun again
>>331407482
That would be great, it would create a vanilla-like community that runs old raids and stuff.
