Mists of Pandaria discussion

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.

Blizzard is offering D3 deals because they are (rightly) terrified of competing with themselves. Whichever game wins, they lose. Much more sensible to try and absorb the problem by enticing people to continue to play both games, or at least, keep a foot in the door.

I think the quality is about as high as it has ever been. But WoW is not eternal, and after 7 years, people move on. They'll keep a healthy subscriber base, but interpreting every drop from the 12 million peak as quality loss is bogus.
