So you don’t see it as a negative that 14 has completely failed to hold any of the WOW refugees

Also in saying that all of ShBs growth was due to the wow exodus when that was only, like, the last patch or two.

One could also look at that data and think that ShB/EW design was what attracted them into staying if they did. I actually prefer it this way cause had the players stayed, then SE would think this is the way the game needs to be and that nothing would need to be changed. Aka: Necessary evil.

But the way you presented your interpretation of the data specifically shows they didn’t stay

I think you just restated the point I was making. Had they stayed then the devs would see no reason to fix the game thinking it works.

Their graph is complete nonsense. The stable growth trendline is below the 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 census. They were drawing a line from 2.0 to 6.45 when you should be drawing through 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 (or 2.3, 3.3, 4.3, whatever you wish).

How much of that churn is due to the WoW exodus that bloated the Endwalker numbers in the first place?

I should hope my intent is clear. I've never made any attempts to hide my intent. I've discussed it many times here.
