Mists of Pandaria discussion

[Quark]

You can argue they have had 7 years to learn, but the numbers argue they have. They kept gaining subscribers for 6 years! Show me another game that KEPT GROWING for 6 years? Not staying stable, but GROWING.

Check your numbers. Only saved by the Cataclysm release, which was quickly reversed. When did they start going down? Oh, around the time B Team took over.

...

I only brought up balance in that Blizzard managed to make rogues too weak and too strong at the same time. Balance is its own discussion, one that both has good results (the gap is smaller than ever) and bad (the obvious weak classes were not fixed between 4.0 and 4.3).

Blizzard's history clearly demonstrates that they are more than willing to try something new, aren't afraid to break something and re-invent the wheel and usually their changes result in them getting more money and gaining more fans.

Again, check your numbers. B Team takes over, subscriptions go down.
