So what you are saying is that Blizzard and WoW have been showing weakness since the game launched? Blizzard doesn't go to conventions
Blizzard's WoW is not a new MMO . This one is "One" year old .

Blizzard is going to announce a NEW game at Pax East, not showing off their existing games... what he meant to say was that Blizzard has never gone to any conventions for their existing games, besides BlizzCon. Considering an average of 25,000 people attend BlizzCon and Pax East only has an average of 3,500 attendees, I think it's a waste for Blizzard to even go to Pax East, they may as well save it for Pax Prime.

Also, to say that Bioware "reached a new low" by not attending such a tiny event is ridiculous. Heaven forbid they don't reach 3,500 more people... most of those people would probably be just like you and no one wants those types of people added to the community anyway.

.... so your confidence is down even though they reported exceeding all their expectations for the last quarter and F2P is a huge success. Additionally they are about to launch a huge content update as well as doing a tour around the country to various venues to speak directly to the playerbase.

But the only way to raise your confidence is to show up at a convention????

A Catina tour where all the aspects can be controlled completely by the company holding it is not what I would consider a relevant show of confidence in the larger gaming arena . You confidence in the game is stable ? Good . Good for You . Mines not and it's based on F2P in first year , Loss of over 50% initial player base and this sort of convention avoidance . I believe we'll see SWTOR dodging more in the future instead of reaching out .

"Pax East is a small convention compared to E3"

E3 is a trade show not a convention...
