Ok..my tablet won't let me paste this. MMOSite.com has just posted a vlog allegedly stating Content Drops are being slowed down and possibly being monetized  to the tune of $45 a pop... oh, the flames could have roasted a Chua
 
 
You might want to get out ahead of this... just sayin

0/10, you or whoever came up with this tripe needs to be more subtle.
Though I guess it does make me kind of angry anyone would apparently believe this, so... 3/10.	
----
			Not i... please you know I'm an alt-aholic with a Chua and mordesh fetish. I just was skimming my news sites when this jumped out at me.	
----
			Its not money motivated, if it does slow down it is going to be because once a month patches are nearly impossible to do now and have each patch be of a really good quality.

----
			Monitizing the content drops would be suicide for Carbine. I don't put any stock into those claims.	
----
			"I'm not a Wildstar Fan."  Sums it up perfectly.  And.. he equated the "slow down" to "costing more subscription dollars".  So... 1 update is $15.  This is why I hate a.) F2P models.  b.)  Fanboys who call themselves journalists.  I'm actually dumber for listening to that vlog.	
----
			You don't..I don't, but a news site has rung that bell..thanks for the link Tex..	
----
			The person who posted the blog used '$45' incorrectly in his title, most likely to attract views. He is saying it will cost 45 because the content will take 3 months to drop (3x15 which is the monthly sub price.) So you won't have to pay for the update. Its horrible writers like that who plague the game.	
----
			
Basically, the guy's a tinfoil hat-wearing moron who doesn't like the idea of content drops being released maybe every few months instead of every month, and claims only releasing a content drop every 3 months is akin to charging $45 (we pay $15 a month for our subs, so 3x $15 = $45) per content drop.
 
So yeah, it's a load of bull.	
----
			
That guy is a freaking idiot who should have his internet taken away from him.
 
I wish Carbine could sue him for defamation of character for spreading such bullcrap.	
----
			
I couldn't watch that whole video, that was pretty dumb.

Yeah ok after watching the video:
 
1) OP is misleading, as it sounds like Carbine would charge $45 for the drops, when that moron's actual point is that they're delaying content to keep people subbed longer.
2) Even this actual point is literally the single dumbest thing I've had the misfortune of hearing in recent memory. Yeah: They're delaying content drops so people will stay subbed. When they could either take a break for 2/3 of the time (many are already posting on the forums that they're unsubbing until the drop) or dump the game altogether because it failed to hold their attention with content. Makes perfect sense.
 
So yeah, what Tex said. IQ tests should be required for internet access.	
----
			
I didn't even watch the video.
 
That claim doesn't make a damn bit of sense.	
----
			
Could have been worse.
 
The guy could have included your Internet subscription fee, your electric power bill, the breakfast, lunch and dinner money, and the fuel consumption for when you go to work.
 
"OMG, Carbine is using its connections to force players to buy additional items to play their game because Big C is their capitalist partner! Evilevilevilevil!"

			How to kill a MMO 101: monetize non-expansion content patches.Sums it up. Internet is full of crap. Who knew.	
----
			
of course it's money motivated. Just not in the sense you describe. At least, I hope not. That's an absurd number for something that isn't an expansion.In reality though, it is money motivated in the sense that their game is not doing too hot, as each week they continue to ignore glaring issues on the game and thus the population is in a massive decline.
 
That means less people paying for the game, which ultimately means
 
1) less money to the Customer Service department, and less GMs
2) less money to the QA department, and less testers (if they even have any as it is)
3) less money for the Developers, and thus less Developers to fix all of the issues that the game has.
 
which means that they cannot afford to do monthly content drops like they've been doing, as they are going to be so far behind in bugs that they will never catch up, which will just result in even more people leaving the game.

=\ that title is horribly click baity, but the video sort of  stacks the facts in a very inflammatory way.

Couldn't watch more than half of it. So much.. fail, (I believe the kids of today would call it), with that - that I don't even know where to start.. Just.. sheesh..
 
Even worse, I 'gave him a click'
 
Lock and delete this - don't give him any more exposure..	
----
			Did your tablet prevent you from watching it too('cause if it did, I can understand how you couldn't have seen/heard what the others that watched it saw/heard)?  I agree with everyone else, stupid clickbait shit meant to be inflammatory against Carbine and you're just perpetuating it.	
----
			
Awesome reporting! Apparently there is nothing at all to do in game other than the future drops. Oh, and that somehow you are forced to pay them for the months you are waiting for future content be released, because you couldn't possibly just not play during. Unfathomable. Oh, and please don't fix any issues or bugs, just pump out more content, that's what WildStar really needs.
 
Wish I hadn't clicked either. If you're going to play this internet journalism/review game at least try to remain objective.
 
Horrible. 	
----
			I like how he only expressed his personal opinions and called it a news segment.	
----
			I'm at work so no videos...I can read to my heart's content between cases though. So its crap..no surprise..but its crap people are watching so Carbine might want to refute it or at least the more eloquent of us do so as well.	
----
			
 
 
What a slimy, underhand, dishonest and disingenuous little weasel.
 
I wonder how many forum accounts he has?

			Wouldn't believe anything you read on that site or that topic... unless it comes from Carbine or NCsoft.
