Bro you’re lucky we even gave you wrath at all…Every expansion after classic is going to have less and less people. We ALL know this.
Giving idiots WOTLK destroyed classics future. Classic + was ALWAYS the way.
So you attribute WOTLK very high sub count to WOTLK alone? You don’t think that maybe the huge success of vanilla and TBC had a role to play in how much WOTLK had subs?
I would be fine with that.
Bye Felecia.
Blizzard could just shut them down sadly 
they’ve tried and failed, they are in a country that prevents that from occuring
Did you play whitemane? Ulduar was totally busted, coding was way off for a bunch of fights. If Wrath is all about one system and that’s more important for you than the content then go.
The huge success of Vanilla and TBC is quite irrelevant anymore considering TBC classic has been, in all regards, a huge flop, hence why theyre not keeping a permanent TBC server up

This is good news… I may be shipping my money over to warmane soon too then
I’m talking about the high subs count of OG wotlk. Follow please xD
excatly, and if vanillia was such an amazing draw Era wouldn’t be devoid of life. But it is, Wrath has always been the most popular version of WoW, pserver vanillia had an average lifespan of a year, TBC about 2 months, and Wrath, well 5 years isn’t unheard of, and 3+ is the norm

They don’t even know the sub counts. While wrath had the highest sub count, it plateaued and barely grew at all. Wrath grew the sub count less overall than any phase in TBC or classic.
A false narrative, did they help bring attention yes, but Wrath was peak wow, it was the best expansion, and is better than vanillia in every single metric

Excalibur TBC was bigger than any wrath alternative for years.
I mean, the real top highest peak was in Cataclysm. So using the number of subs as the metric indicating success, I guess Cataclysm was the best expansion ever.

Holding 13million subscribers enthralled to a game for 2 years is quite a feat. It was also the peak of popularity, and 13 MILLION people playing 1 singular game in 2008 was incredible in itself. Wotlk KEPT them. Cataclysm lost them.

The games peak was actually during Wrath when raiding had a huge impact and heroics were introduced, more raid balancing around classes, timely content and open communication with dev teams regarding raid development. MAU of 12 Million with 14 Million Active subscriptions was during the most development in raiding.
There was small declines during every iteration of the game.
For example AQ during classic there was a decline.
We had a decline during TBC pre-BT.
These were related to raid content. Which would imply raid content matters.
This “vocal minority” moniker is such a tired copout. How on earth would you know what the community at large wants if you hand wave the resounding show of hands as “vocal minority”? Do you have stats? Did you survey everyone?
Also, its much closer to 50/50 going off of the relentless back and forth.
If you cant make your arguments without attacking others, maybe your argument sucks and you gotta take it back to the drawing board…
I’ve seen many population graphs in mid to late Wrath is a plateau or in other words, zero growth. Not sure why people always say Wrath was objective peak, even if t was subjective peak for a lot of players.
This logic is so incredibly stupid, but it’s coming from an anti RDF person, so I am not surprised. Beginning of expansion hype always pulls people in. They left shortly after, as the decline of WoW began shortly after Cata launch. If only half you people who think you know so much about WoW and why it succeeds/fails actually knew how to read graphs and analyze statistics, maybe you would have enough brain cells to realize RDF is good for the game.
