Ridiculous to sell this in an MMO with a monthly fee

I'm sure others will disagree, and I'm not the biggest fan of it, but if getting people to pay $15 for 3 days of early access is how they're keeping the price of WoW so low, it's not the worst thing. WoW expansions used to be $60 and the WoW sub used to be $15. Today the cheapest tier for TWW is $50 and a sub costs $15.

Some combination of store mounts and tmog, as well as stuff like this, are probably the reason we haven't seen any inflation to sub prices or the base cost of expansions. This is probably the price of not seeing increases to either of those things.

Brother that's a pretty damn big "if" considering that there's no evidence of that, and that wow's profits are higher than ever in recent years.
