Burden of proof is on you because you are the one making wild claims. All you’ve done is make the appeal to authority logical fallacy by saying it was a decision made by data because daddy blizzard always knows what’s best, avoiding citing a shred of that alleged evidence.
I’ve given you actual facts; 2.5-3k was OG population cap and it clearly wasn’t considered “dead”, since WoW absolutely exploded in subs all through vanilla and TBC.
Where is your proof chaos bolt is “dead”? Where is your proof a majority of chaos bolt players agree with you and support blizzards decision?
Your debate tactic of ignore all evidence presented and go based off my own personal anecdote and comparing numbers to 20 years ago remains undefeated, your prize is a life time supply of copium as you reroll on CS.
And how would they pick who gets force relocated from CS to CB?
Me?
My Guild?
What about my friends who happen to be in other guilds who weren’t moved?
That would cause significantly more problems. (Especially since I would probably just quit if I got force moved from CS to CB. CB’s population wouldn’t change, but WoW would lose at least my sub, if not that of my friends who enjoyed playing with me, but also their other friends left on CS.)
We’re not wolves that can just be relocated from Canada and airdropped into Michigan for population management…
Some experiments don’t need to be performed in order to know the results would be poor.
Like testing a light socket with a metal fork.
Blizz’s solution to CB is like a doctor telling a person with a terminal illness that’ll kill em in 10 years to just take the pill and die now as itll be better for them in the long run
Clearly our preference of knowing people outside of our guild and being able to quest/farm without fighting our own faction for mob tags is the wrong way to play the game.
That’s why people on CB are unsubbing.
We’re being forced to play on a server we don’t want to and some of us would lose our name/identity in the process of transferring if we took that route.
More chances for groups, means more content for ‘you’, which means you are statistically more like to stay subbed for extended periods (revenue), and login several times each month (MAUs).
Which, while not fun, is infinitely better than splitting your server population between 2 or more servers.
Your whole community is being moved to another server, instead of just part of it.
(I had that with the original Era where I went from Fairbanks to Grobb when fairbanks died in TBC)
No it isn’t because they’re still holding up that faction balance change so most of the Alliance players can’t use the free transfer.
Plus a lot of people are unsubbing now with some waiting until the server is forced to close (likely at the start of phase 3).
I unsubbed last night.
My account expires in the 20th and I don’t see myself resubbing again, especially with Blizzard now forcing people to play on megaservers.
