How to get 12 million subs back. Step by step guide

Community General Discussion

Everyone is going to have an idea on how to get 12 millions subs back. Or even how to get WoW back to 2 million.

The world has moved on, and something like 200 million people play Fortnite.

I think more people are in to picking up a game and just playing it, not having a constant gear treadmill.

I think having defined sets of end game gear go a long way towards hitting what people want. I think if I get the sword of a thousand truths and it is BiS then I should not have to also farm one with a socket, or a titanforge or a warforge, or continue to farm it when it is from the previous tier, hoping for a socket or a TF/WF.

The thing I liked about tier sets of old was that they were created to be BiS, they didn’t chance upgrade, and each class got a unique look. This gave you something to aim for, something to be excited for, and you felt pleasure in obtaining the full set.

That feeling is gone in BfA, and each patch I just hope that my current trinkets and traits haven’t been nerfed in to the ground.

Do we really want a Stephen King sized post?

This annoys me more than pretty much anything. It’s like a guy going to a restaurant and eating his favorite soup. He eats it every day, hundreds… no thousands of times. Then one day a new chef comes in and says “bleh, I have a better recipe for this soup!”, and the customer is never happy again.

Truly you are clueless.

The number 1 thing Blizzard could do bring back subs is remove Titan forging? Really?

I can get that your list is YOUR list but to think 12 million people left because of what you list is beyond laughable.

I could go on, bringing back ml for example but I won’t.

Nice try. Really no

That will be a start

  1. Don’t make the game feel like a chore
  2. Stop gating everything, making this feel like a mobile game instead of something we’re paying a subscription to

easy launch classic wow and tbc after there is your 12m subs back.

Actually most of those subs where lost over time, because they left those core game designs. I think a lot would come back if they implemented them again.

I know this is an old thread but I agree with Smashy the Orc. The ship has sailed and people have moved on for reasons greater than game options.

Do we even know how many of those peak subs were actually NA or EU subs vs. Chinese players paying minute by minute?

And none of that will work. It would bring back some subscribers, but wow is a 15 year old game in a genre that has been waning in popularity.

The way wow has been developed the last three expansions hasn’t helped, but it would still be bleeding subscribers.

You’d get back maybe a million subs.

We can barely find 20 people to raid and this guy want 25… good joke.

This would definitely improve the game!

I would prefer the standard buy flying with gold for each max character like it was with burning crusade and no leveling gear with azurite for each and every class I play.

Wow’s only way to revive the game was with the movie. And they *ucked it up so bad. It could have been the next Star Wars or Lord of the rings. Wows dying and that’s okay.

They actually got up to 10 million during the launch of WoD, then lost 4.5 million in the same expansion.

That won’t work.

Lol @ the way forums work :joy:

OP: makes a post stating opinion

Trolls: tell OP how he’s wrong

To me, it’s hilarious. You see it time and time again. People respond just to argue and try to make someone else look stupid in an attempt to somehow validate themselves :rofl::clap:
