There is also fear that the current retail game will become irrelevant if more people chose to play the older versions, largely regarded as a fun-to-play MMORPG. It is a highly contested area, currently, as those playing the retro vanilla version were not likely to subscribe anyways, and did not give a hoot about the latest purples given away willy-nilly.
They did that so they could continue on and play the " Oh noes you did what I didnt want to do so now ill start doing if for the greenz" game.
Typical american politics scene.
