Same game, same complaints on the forums since I started playing. I'll believe sub numbers when Blizzard bothers to release them on a quarterly basis again.
It's not condescension, I have no desire to play the game again and am happy with all of my free time. Should have quit a couple of years before I did.
Only jumped into this thread to discuss the need for player feedback in general, but the thread devolved into the same tired arguments. This game and its players might as well be a time capsule.
