You post is completely invalidated by the fact that the player base continues to increase.
Factually incorrect.


We are currently sitting at (unofficially) 605k active players, of which, less than 400k are currently at level 70, and a smaller number are at current content levels.

Additionally, we're coming out of one of the largest free campaigns the game has had.

For comparison, we entered patch 4.1 with 663k active and a larger level 70 pop.

Population at the end-game is trickling down, and right now, population at early levels is ALSO declining.
