Was BFA a successful expansion?

I am having fun, RPing faction conflict, and ARs. My gripe is with the inconsistent story.

Commit to Horde being bad, quit flip flopping.

This was the faction war marketed expansion and half of it is old gods? I would say the very thing it marketed itself to do was a flop because they flip flopped.

What is Shadowlands? Dealing with the realm of death but watch it be old gods or faction conflict out of nowhere. The inconsistent writing is what really irks me. I must say.

Itā€™s amazing how little I care about forum sentiment. Most people on here generally seem to be trolling. Actual, real people, real feedback, sub numbers, expansion ratings, reviews, talking 1 on 1 or in guild or groups at the time. The sentiment of 99.9999% of every person I talked to and every person Iā€™ve talked to about it, during and after, agreed then and now. Not to say every one thinks every aspect is perfect. An expac can be great and still have some flaws. But, get real.

Wellā€¦ it got me playing again after a 7 year hiatusā€¦

Count that for what you will

To use the analogy of an auto race, I felt bfa had a good lead over cataclysm until 8.3 hit then it blew out a tire, with the 2 expansions finishing about the same time. WoD crashed burned and wrecked mid way through the race. Mop and Legion finished miles ahead of them allā€¦ cept for vanilla bc wrath but those are old classic cars and cant really be compared.

Yes, there is no logic. I agree with you agreeing with me. Itā€™s one set of data from h ttps://www.statista.com/statistics/370010/world-of-warcraft-expansion-pack-sales/

I couldnā€™t be clearer.

This is where you only list statistics. If you were just supplying data open to interpretation, then this is where your post should have stopped. But you go onā€¦

You are no longer posting as informative. Here you supply an interpretation of how ā€œsomeā€ may see the data, which may or may not include yourself, but it does open the door for discourse on the logic of that interpretation.

If you aim to inform, in any writing, stay away from any interpretation of said information you plan on presenting.

Money wise Iā€™m sure BFA was a success for blizzard. But as a player I would have rather have had WoD again tbh

You troglodytes are insufferable. The data indicates it IS the most successful day 1 launch of all time for the franchise.

But no no, that doesnā€™t fit your rhetoric right? It has to be the WORST expansion ever. Right? Thatā€™s the goal here?

Youā€™re pathetic.

Depends on your definition of a success. Iā€™m sure to the shareholders it was a ā€œsuccessā€. To players? GD would certainly make you think otherwise

Did you know that pre-sales count and they have added more pre-sales bonus to boost that number. If numbers were so good, Iā€™m still waiting on their sub numbers release.

I just posted totals guy. I. Donā€™t. Care.

Did yall hear that he cares enough to let us all know he doesnā€™t care ok?

That canā€™t be total if wotlk had about 10M subs. Just think about it.

Listen the guy has made a bubble of glass donā€™t shatter it!

Its day 1 purchases, which the pendants have pointed out, includes pre-sale orders (something that didnā€™t exist in the past). There is nothing to think about. Its just data.

Itā€™s okay to point out that BFA sold 3.4 million units. Itā€™s also okay to not like BFA content. Wearing blinders sounds great guys.

Well then itā€™s not totals, and my argument about pre-sales is sound. Just what Iā€™m saying. BFA is a great video game, a great wow expansion that would be another thing.

I doubt that very much sorry, this game is void of players atm and always empty. Its pretty bad when you get not one but two BLUE POST instructing you on how to do it, cause once there were plenty of Google sights with information galore on any questline for information you needed. But not so much now cause the real bread and butter players DONT PLAY IT. And every one knows your bread and butter it what generates the money for any company.

I did not like it, going to be a no from me. Pvp is very neglected, too many pve grinds and they are boring

Every new system was bad, all of themā€¦

It was the worst ever! I mean the pits. Been playing since vanilla launch. I am not going to get into a long drawn out diatribe about why. I will Keep it simple. They have lost their way, Over complicated the game horribly. Nothing now but fetch and kill quests. Since WOWLK expansions have gone right down the toilet. So sad. Will I be getting Shadowlands Heck NO!! An expansion based on lazy writing. Thats all it is. With WOD it was ā€œBack to The Futureā€ with Orcs. Now ANOTHER expansion based off a pissed of Horde Leader! Since most of the Devs been shown the door or quit I am not surprisedā€¦

Yet you post this in response to meā€¦

Irony at its finest.

as you put itā€¦

andā€¦

Nowhere in my post did I give a judgement value on BFA or the state of it. Nowhere in my post did I say anything about how I interpret the data in which you presented.

All I did was present a critique of how you presented your argument, NOT THE CONTENT OF YOUR ARGUMENT. Then you turn around and blow up with Ad Hominems and Strawmans???

Again, I find the irony in your lack of ability to have a logical discourse to which I was engaging, rather elementary. So I will digress and leave your contradictory states for the rest of the forums to bear witness.
