The WoW formula is guaranteed money. You take it and you twist it slightly and you walk away with a pay day. Ford doesn't change the Mustang randomly to make it more marketable. They keep it familiar to keep people comfortable. People like comfortable.

Guaranteed to make money that's why every MMO that copied WoW lasted for years and made tons of ca.... OH WAIT:

Oh sorry, the current strategy is to just go F2P and turn the game into bigger trash.



WoW's design past TBC/WotLK (which ARR Xeroxed off of) is so good, that is why they haven't dropped in subs.... OH WAIT:



(Someone added the last part for WoD, but as of Aug, is at 5.6Mil: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/08/0...-to-56-million)
