No Title Please
Bogus or not, year by year we get more convinced that the only "Wow killer" is Wow(or Blizzard) itself.
You play games from publishers? There's your problem right there!That scares the crap out me and it looks like it will be since we keep hearing the cloud is the future from publishers now.
Raiding at the highest difficulty level has quite a bit of challenge. A lot moreso now than during classic WoW, even. But pretty much nothing else in the game does.I'll never cease to be amazed that this game was ever more popular than EQ2. People must love games with absolutely no challenge to them.
They fund the majority of games so developers have to do what they say. Crowd-funding has not replaced them completely, and put power back into the developers hand yet.You play games from publishers? There's your problem right there!

All true. I think the problem most people have is that the same "content" is re-used for the easiest and hardest levels. Take raids for example. You can beat them with no effort or organization whatsoever on the easiest difficulty level today. It makes it somewhat less "prestigious" to spend the massive amounts of time and work necessary to beat them on the highest level.
I'm sure the Free To Play craze was a huge factor, but this talk of the "critically acclaimed" Mists of Pandaria with its "rave reviews" somewhat irks me. Because I know several people, myself included, who probably would have gone back to WoW for a little while if the expansion had been the least bit interesting. But… pandas? They made the joke race playable, for both factions? No thanks, I've got plenty of other games to play.
