Meh. Wildstar is more of the same in a different wrapper. And where do you get that it has "successfully surpassed WoW"?

and yes, there's a difference between living up to the actual promises and blown up, unreasonable, unsubstantiated expectations.

that and armchair developers who claim they know better than actual developers alternately amuse me and make me weep for the species.
I agree with you and I to will engage in critical discussion but with actual players and not with name calling with doom and gloom added to it. Arm chair developers and so called analysts annoy the hell out of me.

Shenanigans.
The only way it would "break forum rules" would be if he is abusing the refer a friend system.

That would explain a lot, such as certain other people trying to deny who he is.

Hey you.....using.....my.....catchphrase.

By the way guys, not everyone here is just a normal joe...if there is such a thing. There are some well known community members that are actually devs from other games in the industry, or work in the industry in some fashion.

One is a rather senior dev.
Another two are code monkeys for two different companies.
And a third I know of is in direct market research.

I know that a few other people here know who they are and the companies they work for, but naturally it would not be appropriate to identify them, so don't bother to ask.

In other words, there are some REAL devs here, not just armchair devs. People tend to assume that most everyone they see is not qualified to lend their opinions.

Sometimes it might be best to remember that devs play games too....and the devs for this game are, in fact, human and probably play other games too......and chat in those game's forums.

That's how it works.

None of which, except that he stole your catch phrase, addresses the post you quoted. I'm not a game dev, but I don't think that if I were, I'd be posting on another game's forums about how they lost 2 million subs 2 years ago in every thread I touched. I'm not particularly interested in the "why he keeps paying a sub for a game he hates", but stating why wouldn't commit any forum infractions. I sub because I find the game fun, do you think I'll be banned for that?

And none of that would explain why he cannot tell us why he is subbed up again without breaking the forum rules.
Well, unless he is a dev for another company specifically here to undermine this game
