I said this earlier but it amuses me to repeat it since it agrees with you: The real measure of how much this matters today is whether or not this same kind of thread is happening 90 days from now.
I'm firmly in the camp at this point that Blizzard should just stop reporting subs entirely since we never really know enough about how things changed in US/EU/China and all points east to make any sense out of anything. It's little more than bread-and-circuses at this point.
EDIT1: And then araine quotes my earlier post while I was making this one. Doh!
EDIT2: And for those that will rush in and talk about legal obligations, while I'm certain that they must report out certain aspects of their financial results, I'm not sure that subscription numbers per se are legally required. Some business lawyer out there can correct me if they see this.

"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
what i would really like to know is how many people are actually actively playing. subs don't mean shit to me.
i don't do nothing end-game atm but 1-60 DF queues for a healer are ridiculous in my battlegroup (as apposed to always instant during wotlk/cata) and orgrimmar/stormwind are still alt-tab-wank-fests.
people may be subbed but they ain't playin'.
[ALL RIGHT GUYS IT'S GETTING DOWN TO THE FINAL FEW HOURS BEFORE IT'S REVEALED, TIME TO PUT YOUR PREDICTION IN NOW
My money is on 8.5
PEPE SILVA, PEPE SILVA
Is this a game? To predict the sub numbers they put out? Can we gamble on it? What's the betting line on this.
Ehm, I have participated in various CRZ threads, and I know Alewen from one where he or she made a constructive post including the problem with bugs. In the discussion we tried to evade the PvP argument, instead focus on the bugs (for PvP we had other threads already). Lou and behold, every once in a while someone comes to reply without reading the thread at all claiming "if you don't want PvP on a PvP server reroll" while that was totally not the argument. So I know very well Alewen discussed "these bugs".
Anyway I'll refrain from discussing CRZ here cause we have other threads for that.
When is this being revealed again ?
3 hours still? Not like 1?
Ill put my bet again, 9.5M, hope its enough fro Blizzard to change this daily system crap.
I say 8.8M. You heard it here first. Rememeber McCronCronz when I'm right.
Someone should make an intrade bet each conference call for predictions
9'5m q4
q1 2013...9m
