Blizzard, don't let SOE beat you at ANYTHING. That is all. :P Yeah, that’s something I meant to say in the post. Blizzard, don’t let SOE beat you at ANYTHING.

It's just good common sense. I've been putting off buying Wrath until I needed it hoping for it to go on sale or something but I finally picked it up. I had a friend over this weekend and they tried WoW. After I explained to them what they need to buy they just logged out. Too much money and too confusing for them. Blizzard needs a catch up box for sure. Thanks for posting this so I didn’t have to!

I would like to see them do what SOE do and include every expansion. It just feels... nicer.

I personally think this is a great idea, it is one of the reasons some of my friends won't join WoW. I wonder if anyone has brought this up with Blizzard, perhaps sent feedback?

I mean, why make the leveling process faster, thus allowing people to blow through old Azeroth and Outland if you are going to rake them for the box price? Seems like the leveling bonuses and such are leaning toward this type of catch up box expansion, which would be very wise. Time to offer the expansion only, and the full boat, perhaps for a different (and only slightly higher) price. You’ve got to think that this surely has to be part of their strategy right?

Hopefully Blizz will decided at some point to do the same in some form.
