Cross server group find for flashpoints is needed.

I think Cata sold like 4.6 million copies. They really started on the decline after Cata was released and it had nothing to do with the addition of the cross realm LFG feature. But rather some radical changes they made in Cata. Blizz knows this also. They said they made some mistakes in Cata with the designs of the dungeons and are returning in MOP to the Wrath type dungeon designs. Which means ones which can be easier for casuals and can be run in a quicker fashion. It is "casuals" afterall who make up the majority of most MMO's. It will be interesting to see what WoW's sub base is this next time they reveal them.

Looking for Raid? Are you kidding me? A looking for raid one should not be made because people will get matched with people with bad item levels.

And Besides the game is losing Subscribers

Notice how WOW has been on the decline ever since then? Blizzard never solved the problems with declining server populations and has been on a downward slope ever since. Just keep ignoring server consolidation and watch your cash cow burn.

If I recall correctly, WoW had over 12 million subs at the end of TBC and now it has 10.2 million (last time I checked), which means through WotLK and Cata (ever since the launch of LFD, and eventually, LFR) The game has lost 1.8 million active subscriptions, not to mention that the game has, in total, lost more subscribers than it has ever had.

See i can agree with that, but i am seeing less interest in Mist of Pandera if anything

Coincidentally, the drop in numbers has nothing to do with LFD or LFR.

Here's why I dont like xLFG. Everything has to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, people that want the best rewards for as little effort as possible. Cataclysm was interesting at launch, bosses weren't just faceroll and required attention, but that was too much for the "casual" (read as facerollers that watch TV while playing).

Dragon Soul patch launches and were back to 3 hallway 4 rooms dungeon format. No effort required to even look at the screen, half a faceroll and click need or greed. Guess I need to remember that today's gamer, effort is a four letter word, an anathema
