I'm sorry but after you turn 22 years or so, your reflexes start to rapidly deteriorate. There's pretty much zero professional players older than that in any game that requires fast thinking.

Are there any examples of known e-sports pros in moba or SC II with a WoW background?
They would switch to another game obviously if that was the only thing they knew how to do professionally. Or just start flipping burgers because there is no way that you can get an actual job by saying, "I played video games 50 hours a week over the course of seven years."
Sylvanas Windrunner is not hot... Change my mind.
They will ask themselves, "What do i do with all this FREE TIME" well its easy, you get a life and face the real world...
they would reduce the unemployment rate that is for sure.
I assume they'd all go to Rift which would be the best alternative. At least for the PVE piece of it. It's not a very good alternative but if popular players who have an audience started webcasting and streaming from there it would pick things up after a while.

"...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."
Most of the best atheletes on earth do not reach their prime until about 26-33.
This includes most major professional sports, from hockey, baseball, football, basketball, Mixed Martial Arts, Boxing and so forth.
Normally the first things to go for an athlete is their jumping ability followed by speed. Their reflexes and strength remain for a long time.
Certain sports that depend on these things, like Tennis, players peak earlier. However in terms of raw physical performance, that is the normal males prime. Sometimes lasting right until their late 30's.
Some other sports like Football, at certain potions, they peak earlier. This isn't because of their actual performance peak, but because of the damage done to their bodies has rapidly aged their bodies. This is whty QB's can play until 37 and most running backs are completely finished by 30.

Hahaha, even if you lose a 3% reflexes you believe this will show in-game? because i can tell you, predictability of the opponent's move is based on experience or if you want me to use the old people's word "wisdom". Reflexes are for nothing if you don't predict what the opponent will do.
So even if you do lose a fraction of super-reflexes as gamer, your experience in the game will give you an edge. However i do believe reflexes dont diminish at 22 m8, unless till 22 you were drinking alcohol like a crocodile :P.
I am a 39 year old gamer, i have been playing Unreal Tournament since 1999 (up to 2003 i think), i was hmm, 26 years old and i was at best on a 200ms internet line. It made me try to predict the moves of the opponent and aim at trajectories that would be off by alot on a lan game/party. Although i never became Fatal1ty skilled :P, as i never played so many hours for years, i was quite known in my country's gaming community.
But i will admit one thing, i won't play LoL ranked ever. That's not because of lack of reflexes (lol) but because my daughter needs attention and i can't stick my monitor for 25+ mins non stop on a game. WoW is another thing, even in raids, fights last 12mins max and even during the raid boss fight you can turn your head ..you can't do that in LoL :P
And i just want to add one more thing. If i could afford 2nd subscription, i would pay for Rift, the game has so many talent trees and stuff to do that nerdy hardcore players would never play anything else.. However this is fiction as if wow ended tomorrow that would be because Titan would be up and about :P

People actually claim 25+ is "old" ? W t h.
OT : Move to other games or take a break if no other game is appealing at the moment? Why is that even a question? Does the OP actually think they would go into mass depressions and lose the will to live?
