It will stay above 10 million.
It will go under 10 million.
Realistically the only thing that does is leaving the game and unsubbing. However so what? Why can't I come and vent here about bullshit? Do I harass you when you make a ooooh I love this game thread? No I leave you in peace to love your fucking game. Congratulations. You found criticism in it.

"Effort" is also a clever euphemism. I agree the heroics are faceroll but so what? I still gain so little out of them that the reward doesn't even match that. After 2 days I was done with them. They need to be more rewarding.
First of all, it is TBC's second coming, however, having played it before, it is not as exciting and probably boring to a degree.
If you don't want to play the game, no one can really do anything feasible about that as you clearly want to ignore more half of the things that you can perform as gameplay then cry how the game lacks content.
You have been playing the game for 8 years mate, you have seen pretty much all there is to it regarding PvE and its not really gonna change for you to experience it as "whole brand new quality content". If you are not content with it, then you are not and thats pretty much final.
Colors and sensations are subjective, get over it. Stop being the obnoxiously stalky ex-boyfriend its not good for your health.

Really? Those guilds clear all 3 raids in one night? and heroic raids to? Somehow I doubt were at that point now. Even if we were I'm not asking for dailies to be removed. I'm asking for them not to be the sole way to get the best gear you can outside of a raid/pvp environment. Hiding shinies behind dailies and raids is the worst decision they could have made.
OR
People who quit are hoping WoW will improve so they can once again enjoy playing the game.
I loved playing in WotLK. Couldn't wait to login to raid. Couldn't wait to heal. Loved Northrend as it was.
Then came the destruction called, Cata. Not been pleased since.
So here's hoping for an expansion only realm.

It is not TBCs second coming. Not only is it literally not in the sense that the design decisions don't reflect TBC esque grind, it is also not in the sense that such a thing is absurd and likely not possible. It's just something you people make up to tell yourselves how good the game is even when it's shit. I honestly hope for the sake of the game that the developers don't share that same nonsensical vision. Trying to return to something that happened 5 or 6 years ago, after all this change and all this growth and all this progression is stupid. The only thing more foolish than calling this game a TBC revival would be if the developers had actually tried to achieve this goal.
You are correct in saying that I have seen the game for 8 years and I have rarely seen it regress to such a point as it is now. In that time the game has more or less done nothing but progress away from "grind" systems and only been more rewarding of an experience. Mists is perhaps the least rewarding experience I've ever had in the game. I want to play a game that's rewarding in the short term. Not something that will keep me bored months from now. Being bored because content is shitty dailies is actually worse than being bored at Blizzard inept ability to reduce content at a fast enough pace. In the former I unsub at a record pace. In the latter well it kept me entertained for a couple months at least.

[/COLOR]You know very well what I meant. I don't come and stop you from cheer leading and letting it be known how much you enjoy Mists. More power to you. In fact as much as I want the game to improve itself from it's current state I would not under any circumstances expect that to come at the expense of your enjoyment. I feel theirs a happy medium here where Blizzard can make some adjustments to improve the experience for many of us.

I knew this thread would derail into dailies... But hey, they are what MoP is about anyway.
But back on subject, a lot of people will just eat every change made to the game and will defend it as "needed". It won't help game to be better. In fact, it will only provoke further decline. And even if WoW will be making weird changes in game to increase subs by alluring, in example, couple millions housewives who would otherwise watch soap operas, would it mean game changing to the better? Amount of subs =/= quality of game.
^^ This. ^^
We all want to play WoW for our own reasons. It's not "Let's kill off WoW!!!". It's that many of us liked playing WoW as it was, and like to return to how it was.
I can't speak for everyone, but I do know what I want, and have stated for years on the WoW forums and now here -- I want WotLK back, so I can enjoy playing my role again in an appropriate paladin-like setting.
It's not about buffs.
It's not about shinys.
It's about playing a game you want to love playing again!

Casuals only do LFR and once they hit a "brickwall" they just quit.
I will keep playing until the game gets shut down and i will keep complaining and demanding a better service. This is the franchise i have loved since WC2. I want to see it improve, not turn in to an arcade game.
I seriously facepalmed after i read your email... You were writing tickets to complain about design decisions and they told you to go the forums... I have no words...

Look tmmrw lets say they said were removing the valor requirement from gear. Okay You can still do dailies for all this crap and dungeons to. What would happen? It's an extremely MINOR change that would all of a sudden make dungeons far more rewarding and dailies would still be more rewarding than they've ever been. In both instances whichever play style you choose would be rewarded and aside from the few forum trolls and the virtual peasant community who insists that I toil and labor in grueling daily questing for virtual pixels NO ONE WOULD COMPLAIN. Quite the opposite I feel. The sigh of relief from the community would be palpable.
Instead what we get is NOTHING. Why? Well likely because they want you to get used to the idea of doing these dailies for rewards. If they make it rewarding enough people will do it and sub to do it and it's easy enough content they can produce enough of it to keep up. It's a cynical and jaded calculation on their part and I really really really hope it bites them in the ass big time.
Ultimately all of this stems from their dumb ass decision to delink dungeon and rep grinding because rep grinding wasn't fully being exploited as a ridiculous grind. I don't expect it will last but who knows at this point.

Well yea that's kinda the point. Even casuals like to progress and I can tell you my casual friends who still play aren't progressing and are leaving. Without dailies their isn't a pve form of reliable progress that they can count on for reward. That's it. They don't like being subject to RNG from fucking LFR. They were happier with "hard" dungeons because they weren't bads they were just casuals.

My complaint in this MoP grind scheme is: Ghostcrawler said they don't want to return to the Aldor/Scryer style grinding again.
I took him for his word, as the WotLK faction grinds were not TBC faction grinds.
That word has been broken in MoP.
When devs break their word, it's hard to believe in what they say again.
Moral of the story: Don't make promises that can't be kept. It will sure upset players, as trust is lost.

They banned me awhile back for Diablo 3 nonsense. Drothvader the MVP put a really sad video up of him pleading with the community. It was arrogant, condescending and ultimately just pathetic. I hounded it for him a bit to much and got the banhammer. I post on a friends account on occasion now but I watch myself.
Well Q3 being a successful Q was a given seeing how MoP released in Q3 and subs went up. However, i think that Q4 will bring subs down. People get tired of playing the same game for so long, even with all the changes it's still getting old. Everyone should know that. If it wasn't slowly getting worse, then why didn't Blizz report day 1 sales like they usually do and not 1 week sales?
I think this thread is pointless as we already knew that MoP came and increased subs in Q3. I would like to see this thread for Q4 however.
