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. 
They were leaned on.

Plus there is one thing that MMO is not taking into account at all, what % of people aren't even trying. I mean I have 5 toons at 85 and only one have I even attempted FL on. It is not that I don't like raiding, but I don't like raiding on every friggin toon. I still think that instead of making all of the FL easy, they should spend less time on that and start making more dungeons or variable dungeons. Why are the dungeons exactly the same every time. WoW needs, variable dungeon layouts, with variable bosses and varible loot. This would make running that same dungeon over and over a little more intresting at least. I can not be that hard to program in some variables. Different mobs, different quantities, different locations.
I jus tthink this would take away a multitude of boredom of I go in, I go left, kill x mob turn right kill y mob.
At this point, with a good group I can run most dungeons on auto-pilot.

[edit] Even if 1.35% was used as the raw number versus total population, that would still only make it about 5.5% extrapolated. /shrug Still a tiny minority.

Blizzard is in the business of doing things cheaply now. They would most likely need to hire people that can actually code more than phasing or 'Don't stand in the fire boss mechanics', thus spending more money.
I'm still amazed with the resources this company has with WoW alone, how little it appears they do with it. I can't imagine what some MMO developers could pull off with their funding.

Seriously. They're not innovating. Why innovate? They're at the top atm. They won't worry about how they do things until they're challenged.

Why innovate?
Hmm, maybe to get back that $15 million dollars per month they have no longer been enjoying for the past 6 months?
For starters...

So what are the rest of the "99%" going to do? Occupy Stormwind?
Isn't that what they do?
