Convenience features can just as much be used as an argument that the game’s lifespan was prolonged by the inclusion of such features. There is no evidence that convenience features alone caused a drop in subscriptions.

I’d argue that changing class design every expansion and the gutting of meaningful character progression and customization were larger factors in pushing players away over the long-term.

Sure, I can agree. None of these decisions are made by themselves with a few exceptions.

For example, when Ion said ‘no flight in WoD or any future expansion’ and that was reversed 3 weeks later, it’s a safe bet that the sole reason for the reversal is that people didn’t like it and it was causing (or going to cause) revenue loss.

The people that dislike flight will say that WoD lost subs because of lack of content. They may be true, but they can’t prove that people didn’t also leave because of the fiasco that was flight.

Often times these decisions are one more straw added to the pile, and then some minor thing…maybe no flight, maybe increased RNG, maybe the same world quests formula that the previous expansion had, is the last straw.
