- First went to try out the new island, there was a gazillion people there and basically the whole place lagged, so i managed to grab a few chests and then left it again.
- Tried to join a flexmode group, my character is 520 geared so i reckoned it should be ok, basically... all the groups i joined said "nah noob you need ahead of the pack, blahblah, cant join us". Ok, os that was a no go.
- Joined ToT LFR instead to have something to do, after a 25 min queue as dps i sat in there, watching some kids having an argument over basically nothing for 15 mins, when we got to the boss, we wiped, because some people where afk, some others where doing 30k dps, some others where doing things you arent supposed to do on that boss, etc. 15 people left the raid, i didn't bother to wait for replacements....
- Decided to try some pvp, after an 8 minute queue i got into a random BG, i actually got used to some real pvp again in FPS games and got totally disgusted by the monstrosity that Blizzard calls PVP. Stun, Fear, Silence, gazillion other forms of cc, this is what they call pvp now? Your character standing around doing nothing for 75% of the time? Meh....
With nothing else left to do i remembered all the reasons why i quit in the first place, this game just doesn't have "it" anymore. The only way to have proper fun now in this game is to be in a good raiding guild, which costs a lot of time, which i don't have. LFR is just too retarded to even remotely come close to fun, BG's are fucked over because Blizzard totally destroyed any form of resemblance to what once was PVP in their game......
Asking around at fellow people who used to play wow, they all think the same about it, and i think a lot of people do.
Therefore my prediction is that the sub loss will be somewhere between 0,5 to 1 million players this quarter, it is a sinking ship really.
