Update size

Just got an update on logging in 380 mb to start, the update was 136 mb and 231 was removed. The last few updates have been like this, how long till wow disappears.

im new here and im already tired of “oh no wow is dying” threads

If they are decreasing the size, I hope they are removing things nobody wants like old unused database spells, old unused zone maps, old icons that have been changed to something else, etc.

No reason we have to download [TestSpellArcaneNova6] or whatever spell has a full animation on millions of people’s computers only to be used 0 times in the game.

not saying its dying just noting that the patch is smaller than the install info and they keep removing more Mb than the patch size.

Are you some sort of bot. This feels so disjointed.

This is comparatively easy to follow. There have been some where I legit can’t even tell what the question is.

well my thoughts are disjointed but my joints are broken too
no question just observations the downloads have been smaller then the installation files and the stuff they remove

downloads often come compressed. then opened for instalation.

there’s also the events where a download is bigger because it has for example multiple languages or a support program you already have .then sheds its unnecessary and install turns smaller.
