The reason cash shops are in games now and games are becoming "free to play" (scumbag socialist anyone?) Is directly because of poor gamers

The market has to adopt to their nasty kind and since you can't bleed a rock they are used as the rocks themselves.

They become the justification for all the nasty policies being developed in the gaming market.

The "pro" "hardcore" "full time gamers" "foodstamp gamers" "disability gamers" and the like...are all toxic each in their own way. But that doesn't mind to the game companies themselves...it's whoever pays the bills and right now the decent working people are paying the bills so they add in cash shops and F2P to their game so we have walking meat sacks to look at.

Just a rant lol.

I'm playing Hearthstone because my favorite class in WoW was a Troll Shaman. "Yea mon!" Flameburst to the face! :x

But as it stands now, the good part of the game, the "arena" takes 150g right. Well, it takes 3 wins to accumulate 10g. The average match lasts about 15-20 minutes. You also get a daily quest for 40 gold (40g). That's still 110/3 = 36 wins to enter an arena. For me, a casual as I'm looking for work (just graduated college after 8 years Army...) that would be about a week's work of daily grinds to maybe get a chance for arena and after 3 losses you're out for good.

This. This is what low income gamers have brought to the industry you sorry sacks of Boy George used tampons.

EDIT: Wrote this after finally uninstalling the battle.net client. :x

You just labeled the majority of gamers out there. I don't understand your point.

MMORPGs were always grindy. Want to see grind try some UO or Everquest.

Aside from stupid high rent, student loans, and car costs I can hardly afford anything else.
