Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

Ah yes, the design choices that had WoW lose 5mil subs since going the themepark route (Wrath and Beyond). That's 2.5x the population of FFXIV! Strange how the main subscription gain was when WoW was still an "old school" MMO back in Vanilla and TBC with actually having to travel (OMG!), leveling being a part of the gameplay, grinds, large complex dungeons, unique classes with their own uses, etc. But that's "outdated" I guess. It's the new age, where brains don't have to be used, everything has to be instant, and everything should be as the same as possible and streamlined.
