There’s nothing wrong with my, my friends or my guilds, all of whom enjoyed this game immensely for the last over a decade.
Perhaps you need to believe that anyone who disagrees with you somehow is deficient. I don’t.
The fact is, more people have left the game over the last 6 months than have come to it. Moon Guard may be the beneficiary of massive sharding and CRZ but it doesn’t change the fact that the WoW population on most servers is small and confined strictly to expansion areas.
Oh and before you claim that this is always the case, yes, when an expac is new, but routinely over the years by this time in the expac, many returned to leveling alts or doing other things in-game.
IN BfA’s case, it’s so light on original content here literally is nothing to do after you’ve done it once or twice.
Also, since BfA is heavily dependent on old content to fluff itself up, I would have expected to see even more players in older areas. Yet, servers are all but dark.
And those “hundreds” of players you see? Most aren’t even on your server and you probably don’t see them outside of WQ areas.
I’d sure love to see the evidence you have that proves that this is a ‘fact’ when it is nothing but a load of tripe you’ve spewed out to make your post look more informative than it really is.
By all means, present some actual evidence which backs up your point. Until then, keep the alternative facts where they belong. In the sewer.
You’ll have to forgive me then if I don’t take anything you say seriously considering how you’ve acted here. Not only in this thread, but also in others.
You want to debate? Okay, give me some facts, give me some evidence which you can use to cement your argument. Otherwise get off my lawn and go play ‘Hello Kitty Island Adventure’.
It’s not raining for everyone, just at your house. But you’re the one standing out in it and complaining about it not being the weather you want, instead of just going inside like the rest of your friends and neighbors.
And where is your evidence that the game is dying? As I pointed out earlier, people have been claiming this game has been dying since 2004. Every time an unpopular decision is made there are always threads whinging and moaning about it claiming that the game is ‘dying’. And then there are of course the ‘wow killer’ threads which pop up every time a new MMO is announced, none of which have actually killed WoW, and some of them didn’t even launch before they died.
So yeah, if this game is ‘dying’ then it’s one extremely slow death.
CRZ is a prime example. It’s in the game to make it look like the game is alive and bursting with players but without the CRZ, it’s simply dying. You’re on a high populated realm, of course you’re going to say the game is alive.
Dying and dead are two different things. The game is definitely dying. Dropping subscriptions is dying and there’s been millions already dropped.
Well, yes it does, but if you joined the game after CRZ then you probably would consider it a problem too.
Can’t guild or trade with transient players. CRZ doesn’t contribute to server pops or the benefit of the community – CRZ merely creates the illusion of a populated world.
Pity Blizzard didn’t do what most companies do when populations fall off and just merge servers so that at least server communities and the guilds who used to populate them could once again flourish.
Having billions of dollars as an advantage over other games might effect that. Let’s not pretend that blizzard is the best at what they do, they are just the most popular FOR THE MOMENT.
