Refuting basless WoW is dying claims

[Skarin-galakrond]

Nowhere am I seeing an NPC saying that Azerite literally bleeding from the planet might not be such a good idea to farm or what the consequences will be. If anything we are being encouraged to do it. What would have been a cool concept is as more and more Azerite is farmed that it started to kill the planet. LITERALLY just hijack the Final Fantasy 7 plot.

Well it’s mostly the horde trying to weaponize Azerite the Alliance want to keep it out of the Horde’s hands. The Reason WE the Player are gathering it so it can be absorbed into the Heart of Azeroth and be used to restore the Planet’s world soul. I know a bit out there to say the least but at least it was not as bad as WoD or Legion.

To be fair I didn’t read your post, just the title. Because “WoW is dying” has been going around for years. Nothing new really. If one wants to take the time to read them you can glean some legitimate issue probably but having to sift through all the gunk makes it hard.

Actually this thread is here to expose the “WoW is dying threads” that use flimsy or baseless evidence and a opinionated reason why that evidence is flimsy or baseless.

I got ya. I think we’re on a different page, same chapter

You forgot to mention the Classic servers being set up this summer but I agree with your post.

WoW isnt “dying”. Its declining. Doesnt have the same level of appeal and pull it used to and its more or less expected.

Yeah I think this hits it on the head, and add to it BFA which quite a few people are disappointed in has accelerated its decline.

While I am enjoying WoW still people that I know who never unsub have left because of their disappointment in BFA.

Have anyone decided if WoW Classic is dying threads will be allowed or will be they be laughed off because technically WoW Classic worked out pretty well.

Is WoW Classic going to be the WoD version of real life where in an alternate timeline it actually died?

You can’t kill what is already dead? Maybe?

Well I do not know how long classic will keep people interested by itself but if Blizzard sees some things that were seen as “clunky” in classic are still valued. We may see the main game kind of return to it’s roots.

I was making a funny… or I guess failing at attempting to. Either way, I hope it is everything everyone hoped it would be.

But WoW IS dying.

But it’s dying because the mmo genre is dying.

[Raiza-frostmane]

I think this is the biggest point. I don’t think it is WoW, I think it is the genre. Were it just WoW we would have seen those players migrate to other MMORPGs, but that’s not what has happened.

Like you said, not saying BfA is perfect, but certain things are being blow out of proportion.

The Genre isn’t dying. The companies suck at making games now. When you are more interested in making money than making fun, of course people stop signing up.

You know what would fix all this? A phone version!!!

No. The genre is alive and well. It’s just that Bfa sucks on toast and is loosing players by the carload.

Happily, other games in the genre are alive and well

I like BFA and based on numbers alone, so does the vast majority of MMO players.

Oh? So that’s why WoW servers are so full to bursting!

[Jalen-emerald-dream (Jalën)]

What numbers?

[Therric-frostwolf (Therric)]

Comparitively, WoW has at least 4 times the participants that any other MMO has.

Consider the concept of density and that might answer your question about your perceptions of its current population.

What numbers? Link to your source.

I’m sure he has solid evidence to back these claims.

[Therric-frostwolf (Therric)]

Every person engaged in the genre.

You could say 4 times or you could say 8 times but it is not dispute that far more people play WOW than any other MMO.

So you have no numbers and you were making the whole thing up.
