a room? what on earth are you talking about?

Ah yes, 37% the new 50%.

Ah yes, 37% the new 50%.

Oh dear. You really are confused.

Oh dear. You really are confused.

Numbers changed slightly now but all i see is 27.60%+12.34%, yep totally confused, my bad thats clearly 50%.

I know exactly what you are saying, but you are intentionally misinterpreting what OP is saying. The middle group is either entirely removed from the statistic, or, it is split 50/50 up/down. Either way, they are saying that compared to earlier polls right at launch, more have shifted into a negative stance on SL. Its really not complicated.

You are wrong. Op say that 50% is unhappy or worse, 5/10 isnt unhappy at all. Not in any ranking anywhere. The problem with this whole thread that op tried to make a 50/50 of the original poll so he can put everything into a negative view.

Considering the amount of people that are extremly negative with the game in general on this forum, this entire thread is moot to begin with.

Uhhhh...

Why make a new expansion in the first place, if the purpose is to make people go to the Classics? These expansions aren't cheap to produce, even if they appear to be lazily made.

Also, have you by any chance considered that the sub retention is getting lower and lower, because WoW is simply an old game? They get a fresh coat of pain for every expansion, but it's still the same game it has always been. For 15+ years. What other games have you played constantly for that long? Games with great modding community, maybe. But with the pricetag WoW has?

nah that one was made after OP started the thread

You're supposed to wear a tin foil hat, not digest it.

I can understand if someone thinks that Blizzard isn't putting as many resources in the game as before.
But to intentionally make a worse product and thereby make less money is not only irrational, it would probable make the CEO liable for various lawsuits from the shareholders.

[Zoura]

Thing is, the expansion could be the best thing in the gaming history - People would still complain, and people never get amused these days, insane expectations and such.

[anon5123]

You must be new here. Literally every expansion has been "horrific" while it was current, only to be fondly remembered in the future.

But Cata and WoD are still widely viewed as the worst expansions.

[Calfredd]

But Cata and WoD are still widely viewed as the worst expansions.

Cata is remembered as having a horrible final raid tier but is well liked. WoD, however, is remembered as the worst expansion ever.

I remember Cata for having more cut content than freaking Kotor 2.

Path of the titans? Nope. A Fireland and a War of the Ancients raid at launch? The first was delayed till the second content patch, the latter ended up being a dungeon in the final patch.

I really liked Archaeology, Gilneas and all related zones (new Silverpine). Oh and new Westfall, the only freaking zone that shows the effects of constant war on Azeroth.

The rest was pretty meh. Once the initial draw of rediscovering old zones was done, it was just a bunch of silly memes.

Ahh yes, and Fulmination. Fealt like a beast.

[Soon-TM]

They genuinely believed that the wishes of the vocal minority represent what the average player wants - hoping they don't make that mistake again!

I call this "the Cata syndrome". I thought that the corresponding lessons had been learned by then :/

Don't forget the Abyssal Maw raid and its associated content. That's why 4.2 felt like half a patch... because it was

Ah yes. That was also supposed to be a raid. Any time now. Whoops. In Legion Neptulon just shows up saying he got better. Well, fuck.

As much as I like the lore, the world design and the focus on exploration and discovery in Pandaria, Cata should have followed up the Neptulon plotline and gave us a proper Azshara focused expansion with a renegade faction of Naga that join us and a real Nazjatar that isn't just a brownish dump.

Shadowlands is NOT a bad xpac.

Denial is NOT a river in Egypt.

[Easyclassictopkeklel]

Well isn't every xpac bad since TBC according to boards like this?

[baskev]

>50% like it
>50% don't
>Somehow that makes it horrific instead of just average.

/bow

yeah my thoughts 2.


but on 2 the thread :

According to the poll on this thread 50% of players enjoy shadowlands, 50% think its bad or below, its not up for debate whether shadowlands is a success or not 50% of players being unhappy is horrendous in terms of sub retention.

so a poll on a forum thread , a poll that is up less then 4 days and only has 7 days of response is your bar to say how the whole community feels about WoW.....thats wow...insane.

i see blizzard making changes that nobody wants, the changes that everyone wants blizzard arent providing, it lead me to wonder why are they doing it?

Yes, changes, changes and even more changes. You do know that some changes colided with what other people want. Say flying, valor etc?
And yes there are somethings that should be fixxed.

Are they making shadowlands for the new players and classic for the older players? forcing the older players to move to classic while the new players obviously love the game because its actually fully built with the new player in mind?

...game is for new players...first you have to level. Then do that awfull ground stuff in the maw. then go from zone to zone meeting old friends/enemy's a new player does not know anything about. etc etc
Its not for new players. doubt the new players bring in 10% of the money of WoW

I mean call me a conspiricy theorist but it would make sense having all the older players move to classic because then blizzard wouldnt have to work so hard with new content, they have another what 4/5 expansions to repeat without needing to recreate anything fresh for the next 10 years meanwhile they just rush through some spoon feeding timegated content for the new subscribers.

Think you just do not like WoW anymore and want to quit ( like many threads of this forum) and just start to rant to feel better about leaving. just leave!

[Ashleyxoxo]

LOL... When has a conspiracy theory been right?
