Worse than it’s ever been? Oh absolutely. Beyond saving? Not remotely.
WoW was “beyond saving” two years ago. Now it’s better than it’s ever been. Once SE starts hemorrhaging players they’ll get their act together. Yoshi P’s recent comments about 8.0 (though they could be pure PR talk) at least hint that they’re aware that people don’t like 14’s combat anymore and that it may have already started hurting the bottom line.
