yes and most likely most of those people will be gone for good - seeing how all 10.0 announcements and wolk classic too are showing those will be again expansion catered only to hardcore toxic elitest parts of playerbase while casuals will be once again shunned and unwelcomed in game.
i just hope nobody dares to say in 2 years time that there werent clear signs of that before launch . there already are and are unlikely to be changed before release.
