I have to disagree,there are lots of things that can be done.
1.Make a few new test servers with different rule sets,and guage the reaction.
2.Add a 3rd faction and make some new bg's that are 3 way instead of just 2. (War-3 had 4 factions)
3.Add dungeon falls,that will open to the faction with the most pvp objectives complete.(with top pvp loot.
There are many things they could try without hurting the game,but they seem stuck on the same model.Wow to me just felt like an instance and not a world,that's why I left.
To keep the subscriptions up, I think they need to think outside the box a little and add content that's more than just fluff or a rep grind.
Make WoW DAoC. Got it.
Nah, simpler yet. Make the WoW PvP system not complete [tos_profanity].

There are also alot of things you can do to make a game fresh that don't complete screw up the game.
Problem is, GC can't seem to not do those things. Deflecting away from the fact that Greg Street, aka ghostcrawler, is a terrible developer that let's his ego dictate what direction the game takes and how to respond to his player base, does not change the fact that Cata sucks and it is his fault. I am sure you think that the fact that WoW is losing significant subs for the 1st time and the fact that Cata was released (and its a crappy expac to say the least) is just a coincidence.
But I don't.

I really don't think the time has anything to do with it, as WOW saw its peak of success with Wrath.
As already stated, people liked this "Wrath model", and GC and Blizz and company went so far in the other direction with Cata that they are driving people away.
GC's 'vision' just sucks.
It's that simple.

I don't agree that "burnout" is the primary reason at all. It probably is for some people, but the reality is that WoW was at the top of its game in WOTLK. They had finally perfected the formula. They could have kept that formula and added new lands/zones/dungeons once every 6 months and WoW's numbers would still be growing.
Just that simple.
Sweeping changes to the actual system of play has killed practically every MMO to date. When players are happy (evidenced by growing OR sustained subscriptions), only a total moron decides its time to "change the formula."
Blizzard could have simply changed the old lands (like they did) to make 1 to 60 interesting again, added enough new lands for TEN new levels of content, then made the new dungeons and raids at the same relative difficulty level that they were in wrath, adding new stuff once every 6 months, and they would be looking at way over 12 million players still.

I would have to agree with Spooky. For the first 6 years of the game, I loved the pally class so much that I leveled 3 or 4 of them (across different servers) to max level. I dpsed, tanked and healed on them. When Cata came, they changed the pally class for all 3 specs so drastically that I can't stand to play that class anymore.

i have quit a few times, and i'm back again.
i cant believe how easy the game has become, but i also am enjoying some of the new content.
as an altoholic though, it will soon irritate me as i rehash the *new* areas.
i have found the redone areas fun, but disappointed to find not all have been redone.
the major irritations i have are out-leveling zones (especially on a rested alt) and not knowing where the hell to go for materials.
plus i am broke as a joke and approaching flying time on alts.

Mithan, swtor is basically the same as wow. The voice acting and stuff like that is nice but only makes up a tiny portion of the game.
It's got that star wars feel and that'll be enough for some people for a few months. After that, the stiff graphics and wow-like carrot chasing will close in and people will be disappointed.
