True but he's also someone who enjoys playing video games and know what different types of players are generally looking for. That doesn't mean he's got the ability to meet everyone's expectations for a game.

Doubt if you want. The success of the game says he's doing something right even if a tiny group of forum posters are pouting because the game isn't catering to what they want.

and an even tinier group of forum posters are pouting because that tiny group of forum posters represent the majority of players.

You mean the success that happened after the WoW exodus (and all of those players or at least a big majority of them left because... they got bored due to the lack of content which made the game basically go back to pre wow-exodus numbers ) ?

Have always been somewhat curious regarding how many new players started playing at/around the same time as the WoW exodus but actually had nothing to do with said exodus.

I started playing around that time and certainly fell victim to the high login queue times, particularly since I was on a free trial account at the time (in fact, I found I couldn't log in more often than not) but was completely unaware of the WoW exodus - at least until a friend made me aware of what had occurred.

Proof is in the pudding. Get them to quit.

How many of them have permanently left instead of doing what YoshiP encourages players to do - play other games while waiting for more content to be released?

Difficult to say. Lucky Bancho has their unofficial census but it's limited to character over level 60. Not everyone is going to be leveling at the same pace. You're also going to end up with a lot of low level alt characters mixed in with the character belonging to new players.

A lot have, didnt you see the amount of auto demos that happened in the last wave which was the recent few months on EU ? auto demo literally ravaged the ward I have on sagi and removed not only 1, 2 or 3 plots but 15 plots opened, and that's in shirogane, including mediums and smalls and even a large

Those are people that have quit this game, stop being blind.

You mean just like Jojoya's post ?

Where is the evidence ?

I'll wait.
