Ah I thought as much, that explains the increase in the sub count I have here. I'd tell you all what the sub count is but it's a secret and Ion made me promise to keep it to myself - game is dead though trust me

Bold: definitely not hard to see XD

OH!

You're one of the people that act like the game is still popular/alive/subs haven't dropped. Nevermind.

There might not be any official numbers, but it doesn't take much to put two and two together.

The first leak was from a Bnet leak, saying 2.7M subs, the second was via an addon that said 1.7M.

Please show me then some numbers that arent pulled out of your ass or from some extremly untrustworthy website.

Good good, best not to crack the illusional bubble of previously mentioned posters, we wouldn't want to add insult to injury when they're already struggling so hard from the game still being around.

Edit: I was told via PM (since my uBlock filters ignored posters) that a certain poster in the thread has desperately copied my sig, using one of the least popular leveling zones as his "proof". Considering the crow said poster ate not long ago, that's beyond hilarious.

We work in harmony. We destroy, you defend. It's a balance. <3

In short, anyone claiming to have numbers, is lying.

Their bias might not allow them to realize this, but it's a fact. Whether they be citing addons (relying on players having said addon) or "armory numbers", something which the original author admitted was flawed and by no means reliable. Hell, my armory still doesn't list 10 of my active characters and has my main listed as a Blood elf 2 race changes later.

You really gotta wonder about all these "fan-favorite" changes being machine gunned out lately. What's happening behind the scenes? BfA not doing too hot? Shadowlands pre-orders low?

The addon also said that 50% of all players were using weakauras, which seems not likely whatsoever.

Granted, the subs are down from Legion, no doubt, and quite much(39% drop in guilds clearing heroic EP, 17125 compared to ToS, 27971 according to raider.io) but when someone claim, then refuted those claims after, that 50% of all players use weak-auras then something isn't quite right.

TLDR: Weak(pun) sources.

I'm glad you can admit you're wrong. Thanks for playing

Or they're simply listening to players

Well let's see yours. Oh wait, you don't have any either?

So both of us are "wrong", correct? Are you mentally inebriated to think that you've "won" lmfao.

B: The very little remaining, sure.

I don't recall people asking for huge EXP boosts. Why didn't they do it during WotLK when 12M people were playing? Surely people asked for it then.
Hold onto they've got left? Sounds more realistic to me.

I genuinely can't tell if you're just a really good troll or actually dense

Okay so why didn't they do this when the game was 11x more popular back in WotLK though, like I'm not understanding.

Oh yes, let's compare 20% increased EXP to upwards of 70% in retail.

This actually just got me - notice when the game continued to die, they added more and more ways of getting increased EXP. At first it started in WotLK, in the form of 20% EXP. Was greatly expanded in Cata, and again in MoP. Same with WoD and Legion. Now there's just a fucking 100% bonus on top. lmao

20% ? I think u should take a 2nd look, cos its more like 50%

When heirlooms were first released, it was 20%. 25% if you count the very rare and hard to get fishing tournament ring back in WotLK.

Okay so can you? you seem pretty fucking inept, not gonna lie.

The amount of people that played Wrath on any given day compared to BfA was WORLDS more. WHY didn't they allow it then? Oh, that's right, because there were actually people playing.

We know why they never did this during BC or WotLK, the game actually had players.

They're using a 100% increased EXP gain as an even FURTHER incentive to get people to log into a game while they're quarantined in their homes.

L O L

this is hardly a surprise

close enough to tempt but throw in couple things ...

1. 100% mount drop rate
2. 100% toy drop rate

Then the tempt is real.

actualy we dont really know that wrath had WORLDS more players,they released the peak subs,a peak bfa could posibily have also had considering they had record sales,but you are crazy if you think wrath didnt have major drop offs at times,like at the end

Don’t kid yourself, it’s all documented.

Wrath didn’t have any drop off, the drop off started in Cata and was pretty heavy.

If BfA brought subs to 12M, Blizzard would’ve posted about it.
