    No, Blizzard makes an extra $5 a month on any subscription bought with gold.

    This seems intended to create an extra hurdle for people managing a large number of accounts in the hopes of making that kind of operation less profitable.

      I’m gonna be really cynical here and say they’re hoping people sign up to auto sub which they forgot to cancel.

      Was a long time wow played and back before tokens were a thing it was pretty straightforward to just pay for 1 month only of game time. I stopped playing midway through baf and at that point I mostly bought game time with gold but on the few occasions I did pay for 1 month it wasn’t that easy to find the 1 month game time, like the nonauto sub. Then I fired up the game like right before the last xpac, can’t remember the name now and it was near fucking impossible to find game time in the store, it kept trying to get me to buy an auto sub.
