I donât have the trust level to post links but if you literally type in âburning crusade beta 2006â in youtube search you will find several videos, from showcasing starter zones to Outlands dungeons. Go upvote all my posts and get me some trust level and Iâll gladly post you all of them
This is what you posted:
I was wondering if you had any sources for this stuff. Obviously we can leave the anecdotal evidence out since thatâs entirely subjective.
just type shadowlands player decline in google and sort yourself out
You do realize everyone disagreeing WITH YOU is also a good source of information as well right? The player base is drastically down from the 8 mil that bought the game and is teetering at 2 mil MAYBE 3 mil active players day to dayâŚ
Here is my source and it has been very accurate [Wow Realm Population] wowrealmpopulationdotcom ⌠It is a link but I am sure you can figure it out cause it wont let me post the link soâŚ
Thatâs Deflection sweety. I donât complain about 15$ a month lol. Iâd pay 30 if it meant the quality would prove.
I like how youâve completely changed your tune once it got harder to defend your standpoint. And now youâre trying to tell me that I shouldnât complain because itâs only 15 dollars a month.
Keep talking though
It didnât? Put your readers on and read the rest of my post(s)?
For the 5th time
Blizzard isnât failing, because WoW isnât their only product
???
Like what part of this is so hard for you to understand?
You keep coming back with all these subjective examples of how WoW itself isnât doing well , or isnât fun, of which have nothing to do with Blizzardâs viability as a business
no, Iâm done because Iâm convinced you have the reading comprehension skills of a blind dog

What does that even mean
Also, you are arguing with bloomsdayâŚu new around here?
In my opinion, there are still many talented people working on WoW - from the art department to the combat designers, lots of great people make the game still fun to play overall.
However I would say that the current leadership team and game director are the most arrogant yet incompetent group of people to manage WoW since launch. They run this game on a âtrial and errorâ strategy that ends up turning it into a paid beta test where even when the community provides them with solutions and ideas they always find a way to either outright ignore them or do a half way where they still put their own internal spin on the system. Itâs like thereâs this layer of contempt for the player base and the leaders of this game canât bring themselves to admit the community might know a better way of doing things then they do.

Absolutely agree with this
The lack of communication and when legit player concerns come up with tons of detail it goes on deaf ears
basically they set up the beta for players to promote the game ( put in the forums a vent post) so the players can 'vent" the frustration with no intention of actually implementing a fix
YET, if it cuts into the bottom dollar they take swift action.
Check out their quarterly earnings statement. It literally says 7%. Lol
Yea and they havenât had anything else to show in years. Only reason they did well is because of WoW nostalgia and because it was a pandemic and people were inside playing video games. Did you not see the outrage over the 200 million dollar CEO bonus? Players arenât happy
I ainât worried about you. Was outside catching some sun. Might log on WoW because Iâm about to take a nap and itâs a good sleep aid.
Keep doing those carries though
Activision owns King. Blizzard does not. Big distinction there. Read the financial statements they are public information.
Dude. Overwatch 2 is at least a year away. Same with the next Diablo. What other games does Blizzard have that bring in revenue?
If you were a sheep, would you willingly walk into a cave full of hungry pissed of wolves? 
This is why they dont bother responding to any of these posts.
Wow is a dead game and activision is just trying to milk the last few drops from its teat. I honestly hope this company fails. Horrible management, I donât think the game designers get much say.

As a Game Designer, I think its a little of both, but the root cause isnât bad game design or poor management, I think its the scope of game design philosophy.
Game design philosophy impacts multiple avenues of the game which include game design and management.
Look at WoW was from Vanilla to MoP and now MoP to Shadowlands.
The game has became a massive instanced lobby game that has diminished RPG elements and design philosophy.
I think one of the main problems, specifically to PVP, is that Blizzards philosophy is more about eSports rather than comprehending how to balance their core gameplay, classes, specs and abilities.
When you see mostly damage output fixes in patch notes, and nothing that considers utility ability distribution to role to class to spec, or the weight of power of abilities in scope of the entire classes/specâs tool kit, that is very worrisome.
When Chris Kaleiki left Blizzard as a Game Designer one of the things he mentioned that he worked on, was the majority of Monk abilities and other class/spec abilities. That is a massive red flag, when you have a developer designing single abilities that may not take in the entire scope of all classes and the thematic tool kit of a class. This is probably one of the reasons why class balance is bad other than obvious, (homogenization is not class balance). This to me entails poor management.
There are a slew of things wrong with WoW as a whole, but I notice the class design and class balance issues more because thatâs what I am passionate about.
