I reckon I have paid over $3500 over the history of World of warcraft on , gametime, mounts, faction changes,server changes ect ect. Thats less than $350 dollars a year or 30 a month roughly I cant think of another hobby taking that much of my free time being so damm cheap. , I have over 2 years invested in all my characters easily , This is my hobby , and going by the comments this is the Hobby for alot of you, I am getting pretty sick of people complaining about Blizzard/activisioons tactics for how they make money. You dont like it dont play ...you keep playing so its obviously at least reasonably acceptable for them to keep charging what they like and packaging there product how they like or you wouldnt still be here.Blizzard keeps delivering astonishing results regardless of the diatribe launched at them about there methods and their choices. They have done an amazing thing with this franchise and we will keep supporting them, why? because despite our whining we are addicted to Azeroth , we are in love with the fantasy of it , and its ability to take us away from the mundane.Keep it up guys , and thankyou to wowhead for being their to show us "da wea" .Peace <3
