@Demondog70 @Aion you guys should go back and read EVERY word I wrote in these posts

Considering yet another ban wave tonight we can all agree I won the friendly wager

Every warcraft bot coder should print out my post #39, tape it beside their screen, and memorize every word

 

[Demondog70]

I dont know what you are talking about WOW is loosing money year on year....Blizzard is making money but not wow...check your facts.

You know, no one move on off WoW, just needs bit more time afk

I uninstalled everything Wow related including all my saved passwords for HB content, competitor bots, routines and Zygor etc etc.

Nothing wow related stayed on my computer this time, and Inhave played since B.C. and started botting late Wrath. I’m truly done this time. I can’t see spending another dime on setting up another account or buying another key after the lifetime fiasco or the Legendary grab. I literally spent 1000’s on my leisurely entertainment. But it ain’t worth it, not
Now.

You really are high on yourself. Do you think this message of yours is some kind of biblical revelation to any of us beside have

To clarify a few things.

1. WoW has been dying for many years:

3. And WoW is making more money than it ever has:

http://files.shareholder.com/downlo...50DD69FE/Activision_2016_AR_FINAL_Spreads.pdf

Thanks to the monthly subs, expansions, transfers (as economies and servers die), name changes, faction changes, mounts, pets, etc., but especially the TOKEN. That is why the token was added and it also why blizz no longer publishes sub numbers. And that is why Blizzard will no longer suffer farmer botting, as higher auction prices mean casual users buy more tokens for raiding mats and enchants, carries, rare mounts, etc. As WoW is just a poor ripoff of Lord of the Rings (the book), it should be dubbed the JRR Token.

I just wanted to approach these two statements that in someways contradict themselves. The first is accurate and the latter is not.

WOW is dying and has been for years. WOW maxed out in the 12 mil to 15 mil range many years ago and is in steady free fall. It is estimated it has around 4 million subs today. Your charts you connect to show "WOW" making money is in fact ACTIVISION/BLIZZARD making money not WOW. The company has a shit load of products being sold not just wow and in fact if you had taken ooh 5 minutes and looked into their financials you will see that there is Activision, Blizzard and King, a new acquisition of the Activision/Blizzard group.

The tokens will not EVER replace subs and will never make AS MUCH money as or more than subs would. This is just a desperate attempt by blizzard to somehow make more money from existing subs. How this all plays out I am not 100% sure. I am still having difficulty seeing the full picture on the tokens. There are two theories out there...

1. Tokens come from buyers - This theory suggest the only tokens on the AH comes from people buying them from the store and selling them on the AH to gain in game gold. If so I can see SOME revenue generation but would never equate to drops in subs as this would be limited.
2. Tokens come from Blizzard - This theory is what I believe happens and as such would be a loss to Blizzard because every botter alive would NEVER buy a subscription again. We would all use gold generated from botting to keep us well, botting for more gold. Subs revenue would fall off substantially and this meets with why the increased pressure on botting.

Everything else you spoke of is garbaldigook off the top of your head and out the extremities comments. There is nothing biblical in your comments at all and for us to print it out and keep it by us is REALLY over reaching to be honest. Print it off and use it as toilet paper is closer to being accurate.

Please get off your high and mighty and check yourself before you make outlandish comments.


Demon out...

This is precious. So precious I want to bury it really deep for some future generation to enjoy in ooh say a million years.

This is False. Or Blizzard is really stupid. No one will Rebuy keys. Everyone here is Quiting Wow since it was only good to bot for $$. Which has long been gone for years now. only the people who believe they profit off that 4 cents a hour ban every week.......Now with Termination of Honorbuddy in few short weeks.......Why would you Re-Buy Keys when Botting WoW is done and over with.

 

[whatcha413]

Even to bot for personal Gain is dumb and really stupid......Why bot to progress an account Knowing for Fact its gonna get banned within the first 30 days - 6 months.....I Do not blame Buddy Staff they tried there best to keep it safe. But the $$ of Blizzard is to strong was inevitable once they wanted to get rid of bots.

I dont know what you are talking about WOW is loosing money year on year....Blizzard is making money but not wow...check your facts.

dont know why this bothered me so much but seeing an older member say blatant lies is disappointing. WOW is not the powerhouse it once was but it is still making a good chunk of money for blizzard.

WOW like other games has invested in services (realm transfer, faction change, char boost) for new sources of added income as well as their sub / xpac model. Gotta hand it to blizzard tho the WOW token is brilliant and has to be making them good money with how much they seem to be selling.

 

[Demondog70]

My comments should be looked at CLEARLY. I said YEAR ON YEAR not absolute. By that I mean revenues are falling but they could be still making a profit. Does that make sense? If revenues are falling and expenses are not falling at the same pace you will loose money vs previous year.

The fact that your subs are falling generally translates into lower revenues.

There are NO LIES there. Just misinterpretations on your part.
