This was something I brought up, I'll paste it here too. What are your thoughts on the matter. Good/Bad? Go go.
Is there any chance that blizzard might switch to a points system or something?
Quote:
Example:
$15 is equivalent to 30 "Battle.net Points"(From here on out refered to as BNP)
Two Month Game Card would of course be equivalent to 60 BNPs.
i. 1 Month of WoW is 30 "Battle.net Points"
ii. 2 Months of WoW is 60 BNPs
iii. 3 Months of WoW 90 or maybe 84 BNPs(bulk discount)
iv. 6 Months of WoW is 180 or maybe 156 BNPs(bulk discount)
v. A Character Rename would be 20 BNPs
vi. A Character Re-Customization would be 30 BNPs
vii. A Character Transfer would be 50 BNPs
viii. A Faction Change would be 60 BNPs
ix. Pets from the store would be 20 BNPs
x. That lame horse would be 50 BNPs
etc, etc, etc
Of course there could still be an option to pay with your credit card or it would just convert the cash to points automatically.
Now, the reason for all this is, I don't have a credit card/debit card and I refuse to get one. Because of this I cannot use any of the paid services without paying a friend and using his card. There are several times that I would have wasted yet another $15-$30 on this game but couldn't or didn't due to this.
Furthermore, these "BNPs" could be used in the Blizzard Store, to buy time for other games, possibly given away in small amounts(1-5) for doing surverys, contests, etc.
It just seems to me, that Blizzard would stand to make even more money this way and I could much more easily waste my hard earned dollars.
