SE, you need to go in for the kill.

[Belhi]

SE won't even release actual numbers. They keep saying "accounts" and "registered accounts" what makes you think they can go in for the kill? They'd have to be close, sorta close in subs.

They don't have the power to kill off WoW, even though I think WoW is extremely boring, easy, it still provides more challenge than this game. I brought someone to this game just last week whose never played an MMORPG before and they were screaming at me about where's the challenging content.

As boring as WoW is people like it, that's why even with WoW bleeding out subs they still hands down have more subs than any MMO out.

Also, for as many people here that claims they hate WoW and how FFXIV is soooo superior in every way, why is WoW brought up SO much here? You guys talk about WoW more than the actual WoW forums.

WoW doesn't really have much challenging content outside its mythic raiding. It does generally have more high level raid content though. Probably a choice by SE since generally the number of players who actually do that level of raiding is pretty small. Even in WoW it's generally less than 10% of the playerbase.

Regardless, FF14 isn't killing WoW and it isn't going to. WoW's problems are completely due to Blizzard's choices. As for if WoW can or will die anytime soon, that depends entirely on WoW. I doubt 6 months ago anyone would have believed WoW would hit less than 6 million subs half a year after the expacs release. The current trends should certainly be concerning to Blizzard.
