And it was laughable, didn't hold any water and made you look like a clown. You have to bring something WAY better than "we had group quests back then" after hamming it up like you did. You don't even believe that yourself. You were just talking and had to bring some half-assed argument because someone asked a concrete question. Awkward as hell.
Oh yeah dude. The game totally went downhill since they aren't doing those group quests any more. One could think you're talking trash for the sake of it, without making any remote sense. You wouldn't want that, right?

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
When was the last time you had to wait longer than 20 minutes, even as dps?
But it was more immersive when you lost a key member in the middle of a dungeon, one or two has to hearth to a city, spam chat for 10-45 minutes, while the others have to run back out to the stone.
The introduction of LFG is the best goddamn thing WoW has ever gotten <3

Pandaria has far more lore tidbits to discover and explore than BC ever had. oOYou know before being forced to follow by Blizzards thinking there was a world to explore.
I wish Blizzard would have made a faction and mini-ingame events for the BC-lore. Would have loved it so much.
It is, because of:The introduction of LFG is the best goddamn thing WoW has ever gotten <3
Yes, that is different from waiting an hour in trade-chat just to get rejected because they want to clear a simple dungeon in full T6.
Players quit the game for a myriad of reasons.
No longer having to create groups through a LFG channel and then run there, is not one of them.
You want actual reasons for the decline in subs?
Age. That's the main reason.
WoW isn't the new behemoth it once was. How could it be? There's also competition, unlike back during BC with shit like Age of Conan. I've been playing this game since Jan 2006, no MoP doesn't have me jumping up and down but goddamn is it among the best states the game has ever been in. It's so easy to dream back 5-6 years to the "golden days", which in reality was... meh.
Every single popular product in the world has a chart that looks kinda like;
Early surge in popularity.
Keeps growing.
Growth slows down.
Eventually hits a plateau.
Declines.
No matter how refined or improved it becomes during it's lifetime, it'll eventually decline.
Alhough it'd be quite funny if a products quality was determined by growth in popularity.
MoP didn't sell as well as Cataclysm, that must mean MoP is objectively worse than Cata!
Eh.

Your argument was flawed from the very first post you replied to me. You put words in my mouth and derail the argument into something different then was previously stated. Probably with the intention to disintegrate my main argument or simply because you don't understand my point of view I am trying to give. So I'll leave it with that but I am allowed to give my insight on how the game was for me back then and I'm sure if most people would still be around they'd agree with my opinion.
I once got rejected from a normal dungeongroup because the kitten-druid had more AP than my BT-raiding Hunter.
Shadow priest.. how often did I get rejected because they wanted a) proper damage b) cc (mind control often wasn't usable and not widely accepted as reliable cc)...
Worst offenders: Shattered halls, S-Labs (dat oger trash :X ) and Mag-Terrace.
