A marketing event will be mostly marketing. What a shocker.

Imagine paying a $2000 to go to Las Vegas to watch a 12-hour ad campaign lmao

Rich people do strange things because they can't think of anything better to do with their money.

Some even purchase multiple licenses for the same game just so they'll have multiple accounts to use to troll the game's forums.

I thought they had events and things at these fanfests, is it really just watching advertisements for days?

There are certainly other things to do. But the whole purpose of events like Fanfest is to build hype for the next expansion. It's all marketing. Acting like it's some big gotcha moment to point it out is just lazy.

They have events, meet-ups, merch sales. Just like any convention for any other media property. Plus for a lot of attendees they'll be visiting a town/state/country they rarely, if ever, go to so that in itself is an experience. The supposed gotcha is like saying "imagine going to Disneyland just to have merch advertised to you" and is completely missing the point of going to something like this. Which isn't surprising that the social aspect eludes them considering how they spend their time.
