Then explain to me exactly why WoW tokens are at all related to donations here?

a guy say do 1 donate 10$ to warmane or i pay 4 extra $ to play retail ,and then i said you can pay for free on retail nowdays just buy gametime with ingame gold.
what i said its not related in anyway with donating on warmanne thats your words not my.i simple inform him blizard have system where if you want you can skip real money payments.
Okay, but what you guys are ignoring is the fact that a 10$ donation here will get you 3 months of premium service. It's only 3 coins for the cheapest item on Lordaeron store. That means retail is 11$ more per month and again, you're not required to pay this. If you don't want to then don't, but there are plenty of people out there (including myself) that welcomes this and is excited about it.
Actually I'm wrong. The cheapest item I can find is 2 coins meaning a 10$ donation gives you 5 months of premium service.
Retail for the same amount of game-time is 70$ and you can still get stuck in a queue on retail.
And that's why lord only players will donate and skip queue. I can't really see point you're tryin to make here. If every 50th player donate 10€ on 10k realm, that's 2000€ only to skip queue. Pretty good exchange without breaking economy.
I'd put it at least 20 coins monthtly but this is good for the start I guess.
here is my point.Proterean said "The only reason why it's like this is because we want only people from Lordaeron to be able to skip Lordaeron's queue."
thats simple not true since all people from other realms will be able to skip queue w/o donating since they most likely have coins already. hell i even have coins on 2 normal accounts.however "only lordearon" players who are most likely newcomers dont have any coins so they need to pay cash now to be able to skip queue.it benefit old account who play other ralms wayyy more then LORDEARON ONLY players.
other then that its good decision to bring funds into lord since they try to avoid P2W system it probably best option they can come up with.
As Dartigan said before, you still payed for those coins. :) And Proterean said exactly what it is. Warmane is giving an option for Lordaeron players to skip queue. Before this decision there wasn't such an option.
I'm sure A LOT of Lordaeron players are keen to see this option available. There is no need for you to fight for other lord players rights. If they cannot donate they can still sit in queue like before :)
When he says Lordaeron only players, he means people who actively plays Lordaeron. They don't want people from these other servers who have no dedication to Lordaeron to be able to skip the queue full of people who are dedicated to it therefore making it take longer for them to get into the game. This way only people who actually play the server will spend the money to be able to enjoy it and it benefits everyone. We get to skip the queue, and they actually get to make some money off of us -- which they haven't been doing up till this point.
These newcomers can simply get coins. I was once a newcomer and it was back when Ragnaros always had a queue, what did i do? The same thing they will, I donated to be able to skip the queue. I really don't understand why newcomers vs old players is relevant at all to this situation? If they can't donate, that is unfortunate but it's not like they won't be able to play. They will just have to wait in queue.
The only people who are gifted coins are previous donators. And they only do it once per year at Christmas, otherwise we purchase all of our coins. Those coins refunded to me was rightfully refunded to me. I spent them on Warmane and they lost all my ****. The least they could do was return my coins so I could rebuild what I had.
The only exception to that rule was the moltdown where a lot of people lost alot of stuff they worked for. Them giving us those coins was showing appreciation for us sticking around through the hard times. These new players didn't have to experience that.
I really dont get why people go ape**** about that.
You literally can Buy a 8 Slot Bag for 1 Coin, that basically means 12€ for 1 Year without any Queue.
That is not even 1 Hour of payed work, poorfags get your **** together seriously its literally a Menu on whatever Fastfood Restaurant.
So eat one Burger less and contribute it to what you enjoy. No Money = No Server easy math.
They give you a free server and you people complain about it that you basically would have to spend 1€ to play whenever you want. Just besides the point that you did not even had to buy the Game + Expansions like you would have to on Retail + Monthly fee and yes even then you gotta wait in queue on a few servers (oh old times on Frostwolf-EU-Germany in BC/Wrath.. holy moly).
