Appreciate the encouragement man. Also appreciate your contribution to the community over many years. Been seing you on forums for as long as I can remember.
With that being said. Iâll make a whole PowerPoint presentation with how each things can help bring subs back, increase playtime and the right way to execute them as well⌠as soon as blizzard puts me on payroll or starts cutting me checks for consultation services.
I donât want lots of the things you put in that list, and Iâm sure I am not the only one, your reasoning is everyone wants the same as you, well it doesnât work that way.
Vulpera as horde? We already know itâs gonna happen, how is something that is already going to happen can be an argument for how to get more subs? Pretty much just an excuse for you to add High elves as an alliance race in your list.
Bring back master looter? I know a lot of people arenât happy with the current personal system, but I also know a lot of people are glad itâs gone, how does that makes any sens in your suggestions? Make those that are happy with the current system unhappy so you can make the unhappy people happy?
And also as hard as it is to believe thereâs many players that are happy to wander around on foot to explore the zones and immerse themselves in the scenes. Some people are fine with how it is right now.
Again, I just feel you are throwing what you want to everyone and we are all supposed to want the same things as you?
This. Thisthisthis. As a middle school teacher who games, I know all about fortnite and pubg and how many kids play overwatch and what other games they play. The long and short is that NONE of my students have the attention spans to work through content as it is presented now. None of them. They donât care about the story, they donât care about the history or the world. They just want to blow stuff up. They want to be OP. They donât even want to do team things, just brag about the stuff they do solo.
When I mention I play WoW they looked it up and went âEh thatâs a kind of strange gameâ and âseems hard.â You will NOT bring this next generation back via reverting it to any older style of play.

This. The attention span simply isnât there, and old school gamers clearly arenât the target audience. People want to log in, jump into the action, and log out. Not log in and prep for hours/days in advance before jumping into the action.
Iâm just surprised there arenât more micro-transactions in the game yet. Theyâre probably saving that for the next expansion that doesnât sell over 5 mil copies.
You are very wrong. These are all the things the majority of the market wants.
I can care personally care less about high elves, I donât even play blood elves for my horde character. You can check my Raider IO for list of my alts. Only Demon Hunter is a night elf because well itâs a demon hunter.
The more casual players tho, most of which are generally alliance and also the RP community will love high elves and will come back in droves to play them.
Thatâs where you lose all credit, you make it sound as blizzard âknowsâ what we want more than we do using the diablo mobile example, but that is what you are currently doing. You are trying to tell us you know more about what we want than ourselves.
Why canât you see that Fortnite etc. are just a fad, as much as WoW was a fad? Itâs possible to change that gamer culture to whatever the companies want it to be next. People will get tired of the battle royale games just like the got tired of ⌠everything else. So yes, it is possible to promote WoW in that environment.
However, as the OP has indicated, itâs impossible to promote a product that antagonizes its player base. I think it will take radical shift in corporate culture at Acti/Blizz for WoW to ever undergo the kinds of changes the OP posted. I mean massive, massive changes would be required there.
I think itâs more likely that a new company will start the next trend in online gaming, killing both Fortnite and WoW.
