If the cost/minute is well balanced, I think it could work. It wouldn't have to be a fixed ratio anyways, the more you play, the less it costs you per minute, etc...

Is that a stupid idea? If so, why?
If it's a flat rate (5 cents a minute), people will bitch that the company is fucking over their most hardcore and beloved of fans. If it's a "play more to play less", you'll get lawsuits from people who claim that Blizzard is incentivizing people playing 30 hours a week.
