Hello, 

I would like to take a poll about the frequency of sales or crafting discounts. Also, does anyone know when the next sale is coming around?  At the very least, can we be communicated to about upcoming sales?

Do you think sales help the community to get more engaged?

Should there be things like orb crafting discounts?

What about monthly boosts?

    As long as there is no new coalition content, I don't intend to spend a single dime. Until then, no sales please. You don't deserve the cookies you could buy from my money

    I've been playing about 16 months now and I don't ever remember seeing a crafting discount.  I think the only one they did was when crafting was first introduced.

    Everyone wishes it was easier to get the cards they want.  The giving of mythics for Rising Tensions was an important step in allowing players to make progress on their crafting backlog... with each new release it becomes more and more prohibitive for new players to have a prayer of keeping up with veterans.  I do like the cheap Legacy mythic cash offers they've been doing... it's another good way to get people to chip in small amounts of money while not generally affecting Standard.

    Big sales should be announced in advance to give players time to save towards them.  Otherwise, the random nature of sales encourages hoarding of resources.

    Any chance you can pass these results to the decision makers?  

    :wink:

    While I can't guarantee anything, yes, I'd be happy to pass this thread along to the rest of our team.

    Google "Limited Time Offer" and you'll find the opposite to be true.
    Those are kind of different. Limited-time usually implies whatever is on sale can't be bought later; the sales here are not for those type of things.
