2016 is the year wow flops and dies

Movie will be a giant flop because the movie doesnt have anything to do with the wow we played. Just some prehistory for some ancient warcraft games that nobody likes. And keep in mind its a horrible gay adventure movie rated pg13 so the random people that watch it will hate it aswell.

Legion will flop because its the same dev team that brought wow from 10m subs to 3m in 6months. Why do you think anything has changed?

Nah, subs will obviously spike after Legion is released. I expect a similar line graph to WoD though, but with a smaller spike upwards on the expansion's release and a faster plummet downwards. 2017 is when WoW is really going to hit rock bottom, especially after the one raid patch the expansion will provide and then blizzdrones will have to wait a year and a half for more content.
>>
It's happening guys. Prepare for a golden age of wow. Every previous expansion was made to build up to this one.

The orcs are peaceful nomads, and the alliance are ebil waycists who slaughter them just because they are different. Until the legion invades and the alliance is forced to eat crow and beg the orcs for help, who selflessly and magnanimously agree.

HAHAHAHAHA nope. That is the backstory of the movie, the actual movie itself is about the orcs being slaughtered by humans, and then the legion invades forcing them to join forces. It is also all thanks to garona halforcen, who for some reason does not look draenai at all.

Draenei "retcon" makes sense from a logical point of view, however it also basically kills a few of the better Warcraft books. I still would prefer if she was half human.

That's why they retcon her origins, garona was irrelevant since wc1 and when she came back in cataclysm blizzard was like "guys we dun goofed her back story".

It began when they removed 10 mans for casuals.

Vanilla dungeons were designed for 5 man groups, however they were designed to be tedious as fuck for 5 mans, optionally you could do them as a 10 man to farm the dungeons but you wouldn't get quest credit for 90% of quests.

10 man farming runs were the best way to allow players to farm dungeons instead of LFD

What was Blizzard's biggest mistake?

Balancing classes around Arenas?
Arenas?
Resillience?
Class homogenization?
Abolition of the old honor system instead of polishing the autism out of it?
Welfare honor/JP gear?
Daily quest hubs factions?
Homogenization?
LFG?
Obsolescence of whole raid tiers once new tiers were added?

As someone who started mid-TBC and didn't experience Vanilla until end of retail Wotlk, I'd say it's artstyle, pointless rotations and classes loosing it's identity, especially in PvP.

I was never really great at PvP, the highest I got was around 1900 in Wotlk, but I've never had as much fun as premade vs premade Arathi Basin while farming standing, with autists and their consumables sleeping you for 20 seconds while ninja capping. I'm pretty sure vanilla PvP on retail was way more competetive and drama-prone scene than any Arena ever, just with the amount of people competing for ranks.

Not just an Alliance thing, both Thrall and Garrosh broke from their faction, though obviously Garrosh in a different way.

Why do you guys want Vanilla specifically back? Vanilla is shit.
Now hold on a minute, before you go apeshit, I'm not one of those people that likes current WoW. Vanilla is factually better than the shit show we have now, but Vanilla really isn't very good either.

So why not strive to get Blizzard/Private servers to open a server with, say, TBC/WoTLK. These two expansions were when WoW was at its peak.
Nigga, I don't wanna play Vanilla alone, but give me a server with those expansions and I'd be all over it.

Legion isn't some big saviour to WoW and they know this.

They' gone into full Call of duty mode. Every year there will be a shoe horned piece of shit that will arrive on the market. Hyped up but will play like shit.

People will pre-order because of the hype. Blizzard will take that money and re-direct the content team to next years expo.

A few interns will be put on graveyard shifts for the content of the legion patches which may include, several store based cosmetic purchases, and maybe one really short poorly made dungeon.

I mean why bother paying your developers so they can make content for free when people will happily pay $50 for the same content in an expo.

We all know legion is actually the last patch of WoD turned into an expo for the above reason.

Remember how addicting WoW was to people? Remember those shitty reality shows like Tyra Banks having episodes on guests with a chronic WoW addiction?

The game used to suck you in like nothing else, people literally viewed this game as potent as crack, people who didn't even play vidya knew what WoW was. My parents were hesitant on me playing because of all the stories they heard about the game being addicting and for good reason. This game used to be a phenomenon. People used to have trouble with work and studies because they only wanted to play WoW, now you can't even incentivize people to log in.

Look at it now, look at how hard it has fallen. This is the biggest example of why pandering to casuals that log in for 15 minute is the death of your game.

MoP was the first time that subs ever went up other than start of expansion lookyloos since the end of TBC.

Instead of figuring out they should do more stuff like 5.2 MoP, they listed to the anti-pandafags, and went grimdark bullshit.

>>334873343
Wrath was 11.5 the entire expansion, it was completely stagnant. Of course it peaked when the new expac came out, it always temporarily increases subs. People wanted to see if cata would fix WotLKs problems, it did not, so everyone fled ship.

Vanilla had Onyxia's Lair, Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Zul'Gurub, Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Temple of Ahn'Qiraj and Naxxramus.
BC had Karazhan, Magtheridon's Lair, Gruul's Lair, Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, Mount Hyjal, Zul'Aman, Black Temple and Sunwell.
Wrath had Naxxramus, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel and Ruby Sanctum.
Cataclysm had Blackwing Descent, Bastion of Twilight, Throne of the Four Winds, Firelands and Dragon Soul.

Don't forget dungeons.

Heroic/Mythic Rehashes don't count either.

There are also progressively less dungeons in each expansion, particularly leveling dungeons

Yes, when else? Legion is too far away and I'm in the mood for an MMO. Nothing else looks even remotely interesting, and since I haven't played WoW in forever, I might as well give it a try now.

Explain to me why you would complain about a video game that you have to voluntarily pay to play.

>"Well stop eating it."
>"No way, I'm not done with it."

If you hate the game, quit talking about it. Not everyone shares the same standards for what is considered "fun".

It isn't anon, I tried, the game is irredemably bad right now, you're better off playing Tera of some shit, wait for ToS, at least it will have some community.

>Heroic/Mythic
This is a crap addition as well. I prefer difficulty progressing with different raids and dungeons rather than doing the same shit all over again just with bosses and trash having more hp and doing a little more damage

You get demon hunters a few hours early of expansion release.
