It's sort of the opposite- a lot of WoW players have been either giving it a try or switching over entirely lately, Asmon wasn't really interested at all but basically has decided to follow.

On another note- I think the influx of new players is especially impressive right now, with the long awaited by many (including myself) TBC classic just out, and after almost a year the first Shadowlands patch coming tomorrow this is probably the biggest content drop in about a year for WoW players. I think our disappointment in what they're shoveling out speaks for itself.

I really hope that FFXIV clobbers WoW right now- because maybe, just maybe, that'll cause Blizz to clue in to how atrocious Shadowlands, BfA and now TBCC have been handled; if even their usual strategy of dropping releases at the same time as competitors isn't working they'll maybe have to do something they haven't tried since Legion- make good content.

As someone who has played WoW since Vanilla, I want it to be great- but can't pretend it is right now, and definitely can't pretend they're doing anything to course correct.
