I saw this figure a few days ago, and I genuinely do not believe it. WoW currently has zero cultural impact, I have not heard or seen anything about it in YEARS outside of its specific spheres of influence.
There's no fucking way it's at Wrath/Cata numbers.

There's some Hollywood accounting bullshit going on there to get to that number.

I hate how retarded this board is.

Blizzard started obfuscating sub numbers years ago in favor of "MAUs". Any time you see them talk about "players" they're just using retarded metrics, free trials, etc. Not to mention likely including China. They're very likely including anyone who launched literally any version of warcraft over the period. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these are also sampling characters instead of accounts.

Believing this 9 mil number is the ultimate IQ filter.

The Classic team genuinely has around 10-20 total employees, from people who have gone to Blizzard and met them. It is barely a skeleton crew.
There's bugs that are years old at this point (bugs not native to the original game, ones that were added at some point due to client changes).

I'm 90% sure Classic+ will happen, and it will bring in a million players for a few months, but don't get too excited for it. It's not going to be "WoW Classic: 2".

I tried retail again after playing classic for years and I can't believe anyone even likes it. If you told me most retail players were just Role players I'd believe you because it takes at least 30 minutes to find a group for anything in retail dispite its supposed high player count.

The game plays like it hates itself, everything you used to do in wow is now abridged and way faster so it feels meaningless. You mount up, jump and then rocket at super sonic speeds to the quest objective and if its mobs then you gather up as many as possible and then you spasticly sneeze and fart particle effects at them until they die then you rinse and repeat. Enemies level up with you no matter where you go and every gear drop is literally ai generated to be the perfect 1% upgrade to whatever have on.

The players that actually do play the game are obsessed with mythic+ and parsing but they all play like brainless mutes that can't do anything unless weak auras tells them to and only speak up to let someone know they did more dps then them. Mythic raiding requires sn autistic amount of focus while requiring an addon keeping track of shit you can't possibly keep track of otherwise and as you'd expect it attracts the worst kind of people imaginable. Ego centric, jobless assholes. Its one of the the worst way to spend your time night after night in complete silence, no talking or joking with the worst people ever freaking out that some one messed up.

Worst of all the world is a bore. World quests and delves are just chores. No need to group up or meet people or make friends, no one wants to talk to each other.>>725364751 this anon is right but the only people I've ever had fun running mythic keys with were people I met on classic.

One last thing rotations stupid I don't like em you dont like em stop pretending to like them most of the playerbade plays ret pally because they don't like em I'm glad they are going away and retail is gonna be playable on controllers. Fuck you

Half of the subs are Latin or Chinese bots and gold farmers/sellers. There is a whole shadow economy of WoW and Runescape, where you have thousands of bots or gold farmers who farm items or gold, and developers turn blind eye on them most of the time because they get tipped off by biggest gold farming groups. That shit is almost like mafia. Many of the player legit have no other way to go because their economies are fucked. Like, Venezuelans for example farm gold in WoW and OSRS mainly because it pays better than working a normal job.

It'll always be funny that they used the meme version of the pride flag in this post instead of the rainbow flag. The version that (for some reason) adds race to the sexualities flag.
It means there must canonically be be racism based on skin color (and not just the usual speciesism), which as far as I remember has never been a thing in Warcraft.
