This game isn't for hardcore players

Last I checked, WoW's servers were still active and another expansion is on the way. Apparently listening to their players accounted for something.

To be fair, WoW is like a freak baby where normal rules do not apply. In WoW, they buff and nerf different classes based on the forums wishes on a patch by patch basis, they have completely reworked the talent trees, twice if I remember correctly, sold an entire expansion pack where the main focus was completely changing the 1-60 content, content that by design is made to play through once then ignored. All the while weathering people quitting, threatening to quit, subbing just to steamroll content then leaving, and all the like that would generally kill lesser games yet somehow remains stable.

Normal rules should have stopped applying to WoW years ago to be quite honest.

And yet WoW continues to make money. Obviously something is working for them, or we wouldn't have all these copycat MMOs popping out everywhere lol.
