Actually it will be extraordinarily entertaining when Blizzard gets more subs (or re-subs) in the first month after the KFP-P release than SWTOR ever had... Or will it be sad?

People leave an old game for a variety of reasons. WoW will get more subscriptions with their new expansion too, they always do. The loss of casuals this early on says one thing, lack of features. Hardcore players need continous content. Casuals need features. The meaning of "casual" in the report is business jargon (meaning "picked up the game casually, not committed enough to the game to subscribe") it's not the same meaning as "casual" the way players (and even developers) might use it (i.e. casual" vs "hardcore", pertaining to the time you commit to the game ONCE YOU'RE SUBSCRIBED).

Or will it be sad? And so many on here hate thier cross server LFG tool and go on and on about how it caused them to lose subs. Bah, Bah, etc. Yet Blizz expands on it and today released thier latest sub figures showing they have not lost any subs sence the quarter before. Still at 10.2 million. And also said D3 has set records for presales. We think the servers in TOR are low now...wait until this time next week.

You may be right but we have to consider the spin these Executives will put on figures to save face or their Job.

My oldest son is the deputy Director at my state's Department of Transportation. I still play WoW at my old age. Some on these forums are WoW bashers/haters. Makes no difference what logic you show them. They will continue with thier own preconceived concept of WoW.

You know i have played wow for many years now and not once have i had loot waiting for me just because i logged in! Matter of fact the hardmode raids in wow make the raids here look like loot pinata's. Even Rifts current top raid zone makes swtors seem childish (yes even on nightmare mode). So you shouidnt go throwing stones when you live in a glass house.
