WoW is in a decline, lots are bored with it (you say you play it, don't you? How do you not know this is a common sentiment about it?) XI is still going strong especially for a 10 year old game that released before MMOs became a common place and every company under the sun had their own.

I simply corrected you by saying that WOW is still 10 mil strong
You didn't correct me, WoW is still in a decline, if you even know that being in a decline means more than just losing subs.

XI on the other hand never hits a good amount of pple online at any time lately. You probably play only with your LS so i see how this doesn't bother you.
Once again my server still hits 3k+ at peak time. Last I checked, I generally play in pick up groups because..-GASP- it's interesting to meet new people in an MMORPG...whodathunkit?

You just stated some random S$$# without checking if it was true or not and i corrected you in the rude manner you deserved.
So you admit you're just an asshole for the sake it? Once again, you corrected nothing and you were the one to be corrected because when someone brought up FFXI was going strong and "WoW killers fall flat on their face" you basically stated it was a dead game and jumped on the "WoW is superior, WoW is going strong", thus my butthumping blizzard and WoW comment, because people who actually play WoW knows it's not going strong anymore. It has lots of subs sure, but is it really going strong? People are bored to death with it and a lot of recent changes and additions hasn't really resparked the fire for many.

Oh and while we are talking how a lot of subs means nothing, it means tons of $$$ for S-E to support the game, hire more staff, bring more and higher quality content at a faster rate.
More staff means less gets done, actually. Having 900 people on your team doesn't do anything that having 200 or less does. There's games out there created by only 1 person and it features more than games created by commercial teams of 100+. More money to a company means more money for the company to spend on anything regarding said company, i.e server costs, game projects and more.

Besides haven't the dev team said that in future we will get alternative jobs for each class, the community will always find the best way a class/job works so customisation isn't that important unless you want to be some special snowflake of course.

Even in WoW there are specific talents you are required to take if you want to be sufficient at the role, its not uncommon for people to shun players based on the talent builds.
They are, they're basically getting rid of the useless fat so to speak, but hey I don't play WoW supposedly, what would I know lol.
