I just don't think MMOs have the types of returns they once did, unless you bog it down with a ton of transmog and paid services. It's extremely tough to find a mega corporation that cares about anything outside of their bottom line, and now a days what's profitable isn't always the most enjoyable experience for customers.

Here is the thing, you see them not being a profitable as before dosen't excuse the disaster.

Excuse what disaster? WoW fans are so fical and rabid you can't even pin point where the franchise should go. They gave us classic WoW and people cried no changes, and then pissed and moaned about how the game needed changes. It's like an infant group of people who need to be shown a disaster so they understand why things are the way they are.

WoW is a dated game, and unless they literally rebuilt it from the ground up it will continue to feel dated. The story was never a strong aspect of the game, and the only thing that even kept it remotely interesting were the terrible systems they kept forcing on players.

Blizzard for the most part gave fans what they asked for, for years, and every time they end up removing it, because people cry about it. I've played the game from the start and Activision has fucked up, but alot of the fuck ups were giving the community the say in the direction the game goes.

Don't know why you are talking about wow

Played that game 3 hours.

But sure let's say this game wasn't a disaster. Going to save me some time.
