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

How am I wrong? The majority of raiding content past T4 wasn’t experienced by a huge majority of the player base. Subs didn’t grow nearly as quickly as they did in classic. The same is true for their classic reboot. TBC just isn’t as popular. Most people in classic at least got to see up to AQ20. Most didn’t see Naxx and that was all. Very few in TBC saw beyond Kara.

Played WoW, still regard TBC as one of the best early expansions. Vanilla WoW finished off with 8 million. The fact that TBC still gained over 3 million subs is absolutely insane. TBC had an easy entry into the raiding scene, starting off with the 10 man Karazhan. TBC's 25-man raids made it even easier for people to continue up the raid tiers which saw a lot of people raiding.

Lol

But really. Lol

so what you're saying is. TBC had an increase because it was easy to get into. Hmmm

I remember the road to getting keyed for T5 and T6 being an excruciating grindy undertaking. There is a reason you don’t see many Champion of the Naaru or Hand of A’dal titles in live. It was definitely an accomplishment.
