    It is not actually a fair poll, if you think about it.  Is it worth $15 a month for the endgame game lobby?  Nope, not really.  Yet just because that is all a player is doing does not mean that is all a player could do.  They have the opportunity to level alts and partake of actual content before reaching the gear grind/arcade that is endgame...so that would lean toward yes.

    I'm surprised Blizzard has not come out with an additional subscription model where a character is limited to cities, BGs, Arena, and instances as a level 80 at a lower cost.  They could probably add a ton of subs that way...

    I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

    Used to be, but not anymore.

    I honestly don't know if it's even worth 10$ a month since most of their free(paid for by the monthly sub) content updates are nothing more but skill balances and a few tweaks and minor additions. If they released regular large content updates like Ahn Qiraj/Naxx/Sunwell then yeah it might be worth it, but not anymore. They could make up for it by reducing the expansion cost to like 10 or 15$ or something.

    I might consider coming back to the game if they cut down the monthly sub to about 10$ a month. I'm willing to make that bargain.

    Bad poll.  It's worth it if you enjoy the game, if you dont, why would you pay for it ?

    I'm not willing to come back to WOW, but it isn't over the cost. The game is well worth a 15 buck a month sub, its some of the other half broken POS games out there that should be offering discounts.

    Since it's in the general section you probably should of made a poll of "Is a quality MMO worth paying $15 a month".

     

    But you decided to just focus on WoW, and there are a lot of people on these forums who dislike WoW and feel it killed the genre and they will all vote no on that principle, not on actual value. So your poll will end up very skewed.

     

    Also it's very subjective, if you asked "Is you enjoy WoW's gameplay, is it worth $15 a month". That cuts out the "I wouldn't pay a nickle to play WoW for a month crowd" and focuses more on the value of the game.

     

    Just things to think about for future polls.

    Is an in-game mount sold by the developers themselves on an infinite offer worth $25? ;)

    I would love to see more Lifetimes offerd instead of 15 a month. 

     

    I buy lifetimes, but theres no way a game is going to hold me at 15 bucks as long as a lifetime would.

    I don't care for WoW, therefore it isn't worth it, to me, to pay any amount of money to play.  I wouldn't even play for free.  In fact, I have an unopened BattleChest sitting around here somewhere that I could install and play for free for a month, yet it's been sealed for a long time and as far as I'm concerned, will never be opened.

    It's not the money, it's the crappy game that makes me not want to play.

    Played: UO, EQ, WoW, DDO, SWG, AO, CoH, EvE, TR, AoC, GW, GA, Aion, Allods, lots more
    Relatively Recently (Re)Played: HL2 (all), Halo (PC, all), Batman:AA; AC, ME, BS, DA, FO3, DS, Doom (all), LFD1&2, KOTOR, Portal 1&2, Blink, Elder Scrolls (all), lots more
    Now Playing: None
    Hope: None

    Exactly.  The WoW-haters will vote 'no' just because their knee has jerked.  If it was a question about MMOs in general...

    I didn't vote on this.  I find the game stale now, but at one point I really enjoyed the game and it was worth every penny.
