I think there's a difference between being a "hater" and being realistic. I think almost every negative thing said here has been a valid point. Naturally there will be some (perhaps a lot) of people who can overlook the shortcomings and still embrace the Game. There's no hate or scorn towards you if you are one of them.
Seriously there is Difference Between Haters and Debaters.

No reason to name call because you do not like someone else's opinion.Haters: THIS FUCKING SHIT SUCKS ASS.
Debaters: I don't like this becuase etc
On topic it sure will be interesting with the east out of the picture

Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven?
I've read that MOP has really not gone down well in China as it is a Western view of Chinese culture, some one on here even mentioned that the Pandaren were supposed to be representative of Chinese culture but spoke with a Japanese accent. If this is the case it is a massive own goal for Blizzard and I simply cannot believe that there was such a lack of attention to detail.
I love conference calls, give lot's of interesting things to read at work ^^
I expect a 500k loss ^^.
A drop under 9mil. would be fun to witness from a forum reader's PoV
Sticking with a projection of 200K loss, but who the heck really knows.

"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
In how much time will numbers be revealed?
I am guessing a slight drop in subs.
What if subs rose in the west and fell in the east? MoP has been great, so i see no reason why subs would rise during wrath and fall during mop when mop is every bit as good.

I'll make a prediction, not long from now there will be a lot of new threads about this created, and most of them will get locked.
"you can't be serious!!" - yes actually I am.
hopefully i am one of the many thousands that stopped playing "hello World of Colorscheme island panda adventure pokemon extreme"
Honestly the game should be f2p at least just baseline leveling. You gain no rep or currencies no professions except first aid a very low gold cap but you can level to cap. This way people would not be so discouraged when they get to cap and realize the roles/specs they have to play in pvp/pve are not what they were hopein to play. Speaking for new players as I got pretty much every class @ cap.
I am really interested in seeing how many subs they lost. Esp knowing 5.3 will bring nothing cool to keep the content hogs happy. im going to say 75k-100k subs lost(i hope for way more than that though)
