So.. They make stuff ppl can finish in a week, and then everyone complains they are bored with nothing to do. They make stuff you cant finish quickly, and everyone complains that its too hard and/or takes too long to do.
Also every time they tweak something or nerf it, you get to hear about how its faceroll and welfare epics.
For someone in my position, the nerfs to firelands made every normal fight in there very, very easy. The heroic nerfs made some bosses a bit easier, but still challenging.
I wouldn't be surprised if these numbers end up being wrong, at least partially. 150k people killing Rag doesn't seem right.
Already explained it once in this thread but I'll do it again.
MMO-Champion only looked at 2.7 million characters. The math used to get the 1.35% figure is based on two faulty assumptions. First they assume that MMO-Champ looked at every single toon available on the armory. This isn't the case and they state as much. Second, they are assuming that the 10 million current subscribers have one level 85 toon each. This is obviously not the case either.
MMO-Champion's numbers suggest that the rate of completion for FL is about 5% of level 85 characters, not subscribers but characters. It's not clear how that number translates to subscribers (based on the number of 85 alts) but it's a safe bet that the majority of players have not completed the content.
I guess you have to look at this stuff with a grain of salt, then. Lots of variables.

Not really.
5%...7%....3%....
10%???
All still entirely too low.
This "analysis" could have a huge margin of error and still drive the point home.

THIS.
How the HELL can anyone even think about trying to play semantics games with the exact percentage. Its retarded.
If 90% of subscribers are not using the content, then its wasted.

They are using it.. they just haven't finished it.. if you want to look at it that way then the people that aren't doing the content are the ones who have it finished, which is that % being discussed

I've been raiding all content these last years, and I haven't killed a single boss in Firelands. I completely stopped sometimes during T11, after doing a few heroic modes...
Not that the bosses are bad, it's the same quality... and that's the problem. After several years of "the same", I'm just bored of it. I need something totally new to explore. Something that isn't World of Warcraft. And I bet many others are just like me.
I also know some, including in my guild, continue just because they are "gear addicts", something I've never been, so it was quite easy for me to stop when it was no longer fun.

MMO-Champ updated that report with this:
MMO-Champion posted:
Firelands Changes Impact - Update
I may not have been clear enough when we posted the Firelands Graphs previously, so let me remind you that they are intended to show which changes made Firelands easier, not how many people raid.
Some people translated that to "1.35% of players saw the end game content!" and forgot that the sample was 2.7M characters, not 10 players, and someone smart pointed out that this % is probably around 15 or 20% at this point. (Which is pretty impressive for the end boss of the latest raiding tier)
I've no idea how that calculation was made, just sharing.  |
