I’m having a fun gameplay experience with Shadowlands. Many of us are. Shadowlands is doing well financially so obviously enough of us are to justify Blizzard continuing in this direction.

Hehe i love this tiered description of “elites”

Having different skills for different covenants wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t for Blizzard and their epic failure when it comes to balancing skills / classes. And locking new unbalanced skills behind covenants isn’t really helping…

This is actually even better than what I was thinking. And you are 100% right.

Yes when you nitpick that random ‘superdata’ which like any other speculation on WoW population numbers has no basis in actual fact.

But let’s actually pretend they are actually ‘accurate’ and that like they say WoW is actually doing better than normal at this point in an expansion as the drop is the normal percent and started with a higher than normal starting point.

So instead of nitpicking made up data, at least if you are going to pretend it’s fact you can pretend the whole thing is true.

What data is nitpicked? The revenue info or the player drop info?

No, I don’t believe they have no idea. I believe they have the wrong idea.

The fact that the superdata article literally states the drop is normal for this time in an expansion and expected and that the starting point is higher than normal which means that WoW is doing better than normal at this time in an expansion.

The fact that stating either with 0 context is useless.

C’mon, they know what they’re doing.

They’re intentionally lowering the bar of competition, inorder to sell more Diablo 4 downloads.

Jk they arent that smart.
They dont know what theyre doing.

I’m hoping they do the annual pass again and I can get D4 for free also :slight_smile: would be awesome.

Yeah i know but why do you ask for a source when it comes to player drop if you in the next sentence defend the player drop as something normal? A player drop is still a player drop, right? Even if the starting numbers are ok?

37

Personally i think one part of that revenue / player drop could be related to multiboxing…

Mapzones feel like a rehash of ARGUS.

because the superdata article is 100% speculation and no basis in fact. Revenue is never revealed broken down by game so the drop in revenue also means nothing as WoW is a small part of Activision-Blizzard revenue which is up year over year. As there is no official player count any speculation on drop etc. of number of players is 100% pure speculation.

The superdata article is just them trying to draw up controversy and then it was ran with by youtubers who are just looking to up their views. Controversy = money.

glad you believe that.
I don’t. Some Nielson data is based on facts, but as the facts in this case are not available it’s based on speculation only.
