Mists of Pandaria discussion

[Lissa]

Has 0 to do with hard core vs. casual, the game has taken a severe drop in quality since Ulduar. ICC was alright, but overall, Cataclysm has been problematic to say the least. The team doing development is totally clueless now on what to do and how to tune.

And, of course, you ignored the point of my post to point out how you believe I was wrong. BLIZZARD DOESN'T CARE about your opinion of the quality of the game and how they can't tune it. They have millions of casuals playing who want to be dragged around by the nose for questing. That want to pop in on a few instances without worrying about getting slaughtered. That don't care about how classes are tuned as long as the one they pick has some fun stuff they can do and they can destroy stuff without too much thought to how to play. Panda guys will draw new players in. Blizz is betting it will draw significantly more in than it pushes away and I would hesitate to bet against them.

Loch, they do care. They're bleeding subs left and right. Why do you think they're giving people 4 months of WoW if they buy the CE of D3 or that they're giving people D3 if they sign up for the year sub to WoW. Blizzard does care. And the whole reason they're bleeding subs is because the quality has gone way down with this new team.
