Q3 with classic saw the sub increase, Q1 may have said something about “staying strong” but i don’t think it mentioned increases.
My god, that is the dream.
I don’t understand the reason for this borrowed power every expansion since WoD philosophy. It’s such a terrible feeling.
If the base class isn’t good, the game isn’t good. Classes are the most important thing to be good and enjoyable, everything else completely relies on that one factor.

Because a lot of us find it fun to have something we can log in every day and keep working on.
Vanilla-WoD was a lot of raid logging.

There were Hearthstone content drops, Overwatch content drops, Call of Duty content drops, etc. They are not alluding to Visions of N’zoth bringing subs back to the game. Also BWL came out roughly at the same time in Classic so it’s impossible to know what content they are talking about. Please stop spreading misinformation.

They do speak specifically of blizzard alone in those though, so CoD wouldn’t be a factor.
Hell CoD is the only thing activision has going for it though lol
You’d still have world quests, dailies for rep or renown. There’s things to do without the hampster wheel of borrowed power. Or level an alt. Because it’s basically just leveling after leveling.

Because they don’t want players to change between raid boss fights.
Why do world quests, dailies, or renown if there is no power involved?
Please, just ignore Wirt. He’s an argumentative troll that is only here to derail the topic.
Then just don’t let people change them in an instance. Sure, people will zone out and go to their covenant HQ and change them and get summoned back. Big deal.
Also, why not? You can change spec, change talents and change items in the middle of a dungeon, but why not conduits? You can change your soulbind, but you just can’t change the conduits specifically? For what purpose?
Because they can still give some other rewards. Some give rep, some give gear. Some give materials for crafting. If they brought crafting back, it’d create some interest there.

Reported again for spamming about me being a troll, literally, nothing I’ve said has been trolling.
If you’re a raider non of that would matter.
I like being able to log in and progress my character ever day when I’m not raiding.
Noted.
Sounds like WoD. Nobody played WoD.
Look, you need to understand, in 2020 people don’t play WoW unless they’re being rewarded for it. The game is old. The thrill of a “new MMO” is gone. The thrill of fighting someone lore important like the Lich King is gone. People talk about the glory days of MoP but subs tanked during MoP as they tanked during every single expansion past WOTLK except for BFA (as strange as that sounds - blame Classic all you want, but all Bobby Kotick sees is $$$).
The only thing that seems to stem the bleeding in the modern era is player engagement systems.
Or like the game at any point before that. If the thrill is gone, maybe it’s time to move on.

Nobody played WoD because WoD was terrible, mission tables were terrible, garrisons were terrible, and everything outside of Raids were terrible. The only thing they did relatively good in WoD was class design, and that’s only because it was coming off the tails of MoP which was among the highest point in WoWs history in terms of class design.
They can create many forms of engagement systems without having borrowed power and arbitrary time gates.
Please stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. Also please google search before you blatantly spread misinformation.

He’s wrong about numbers, but not overly wrong about the rest. Devolving the game back into raid logging wouldn’t be a good idea. BfA was a horrible way to do borrowed power, but legion was great.
…?
People did move on.
That’s literally why Blizzard switched to this new model, to put a stop to that. Blizzard is a business, they’re not out to make you, specifically, happy, they’re out to make money.
You know what makes you money? Happy customers.
Not ones who are resentful with a sour taste in their mouth after doing a transaction or experiencing your service.
