    I hate MoP with a burning passion because every aspect of the game that I used to enjoy, is now horrible and clunky.

    But I guess the players like myself are dying off in WOW while the casuals and new generation take over.
    Your opinion. It makes no sense. " I hate WoW yet here i am stalking the WoW fan forums... ".

    Flaming (pre-edit) is not tolerated here

    That makes sense actually. This is the time period around Blizzcon. Lots of buzz then.

    Very surprised I must say :O definitely did not see an increase coming, maybe a small decrease...

    Well I guess Q1 of 2014 will show a drop.

    I'd like to see Q1 2014 numbers after the amount of subs they lost from the recent banwaves.

    Everyone's guesses were so off.
    I was expecting 200k - 300k lost. HAHAHA this is so golden. Inb4 BS / Fake numbers & people angry.

    WoW is clearly not dying or declining for now.

    it's the fourth quarter of 2013...subscriber numbers will go down (at least what I think) in the first quarter in which we are now.

    They are not allowed to lie to investors, that is illegal. They haven't been afraid to mention sub losses before either.

    Not surprised. Flex was good medicine.

    As a shareholder and player, I'm pretty excited to hear Morhaime on the CC.

    Its breaking the law for them to lie so you have to believe them since its the truth.

    I think there's a legal obligation to not lie during earnings calls. You might wanna re-evaluate that statement.

    How many subscribers from North America and Europe where people pay a monthly sub?

    And how many subscribers from Asia where people don't pay a sub but instead pay as they play?

    You can choose not to believe if you feel like lying to yourself. But there are severe legal penalties if any of the information in these reports is falsified or intentionally misleading.
