I mean, WotLK was 2008 meaning it was already pretty much code-complete by the time of the merger. I don’t think you’ll find many people agreeing with you that the game hasn’t been getting progressively worse from Cataclysm on. It’s not like you kill the name of one of the biggest gaming franchises of all time in a day. It’s been a drawn out sickness starting with the watering down of core gameplay and culminating in the cash shop with mini games we see today. You don’t think Bobby Kotick’s infamous "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games." quote had anything to do with that?
