If you continue to dumb down the game, you will lose half your player base

Have you ever played wow? It had nothing to do with pruning. It had everything to do with cultivating toxic group play and linking progression to endless daily treadmills for artifact power that didn’t transfer to alts.

It really shit the bed while jumping the shark when they tried to turn it into an esport with excessive mythic+.

Every time WoW tried to go a more hardcore high end player route, it lost massive subscriber numbers. Cataclysm, WoD, BfA, Shadowlands. It has never worked for them. It didn’t even work in TBC where 80% of the raid content was locked to 1% of players. TBC probably hurt their growth more than it helped.

Lol

But really. Lol
