Just remember there were absolutely no other things in the beginning of Cata that caused a drop in sub numbers it was only RDF. not at all because of the destruction of the old world, where most of my friend group stopped playing because the game become unrecognizable for them. Totally not because of the massively over tuned difficulty of normal and heroic dungeons at all. The new on rails questing was universally loved by everyone yeah? NOBODY hated that at all.
NOPE, the subs only declined because there was apparently a huge anti-RDF movement at that time that nobody has been able to prove beyond anecdotal evidence.

Link the graph, link the graph
Possibly, that’s how the ideas of “slow burn” and “death by a thousand cuts” works, yes.
You… you missed the satire of that post? Oh dear… try reading the context behind it.
I can only link the post (can’t link outside trust level)
but he is the gift that keeps on giving

Yep, there we see it. The game started to lose subs after LFD was added.
And you think this shows LFD in a positive light? Interesting. Thankfully, Blizzard can read graphs.
And yet, Blizzard, who have the most accurate graphs, side with me and my arguments.
No – it sounds like satire is lost on you quite often?
So the thing currently happening?
But you do realize that technically the game started losing subscribers after Death Knights were implemented, after Lich King was in the game, etc., too, right?
Yes, I do.
Honestly, who exactly were Blizzard listen to when they made the decision to exclude LFD in WotLK classic. Go to any forum online, reddit, WoW forum, ect, and the vast majority are criticizing the decision.
the quote you were responding to in that post - ya looks like your reply was satire /s
(for you since you’re kinda not ummm welll anyway /s most of the time means sarcasm.)
So, you can’t pin anything on LFD without also mentioning EVERY other addition to the game that came before the drop in subscribers.

Heh blizz wants to cater to the retail crowd.
Apparently I haven’t been the target audience for many years. I will probably just level my character and do some casual pvp. Looks like you’re changing things that didn’t need to be changed

It is satire. Look, I even claim I have zero evidence to the person that finally caught the satire. I’ve bolded it for you so you don’t even have to read the entire thing or think too hard about it.
You need to brush up on your familiarity with the art of satire.
It’s a good thing I didn’t pin anything on LFD. And while you certainly could do that, it’s also worth mentioning that LFD is relatively closer in time to the sub drops than something from Early Wrath, TBC, and Vanilla.
VERY surprised at the amount of anti-rdf people who claim to be anti-retail either silent or celebrating a 100% retail function being added to classic.
