Rift subs are pure conjecture.

i think they need to pay more attention to character progression and depth.
That would be an option if they hadn't turned Arena's into an "e-sport." The moment they touch individual character progression and depth, they make a ton of work for the developers to try and keep everything balanced so that their "e-sport" can still be considered competitive.
But I agree with you in that there really isn't anything that makes one mage stick out from another mage anymore and it's somewhat disappointing.

Yes it is, because you want Rift to be the reason WoW is loosing subs, you attribute Rift as the reason WoW is loosing subs. You can offer not one piece of proof that the 2 correlate. Your assumption is pure conjecture.

Yup I called it quits 3 weeks after release of Cataclysm.
They ruined the classes, degraded the detail of gear & weapons.
The Dungeons got crazy as well as the requirements for them.
Unless you're a Healer or Tank the wait for dungeons is an hour or more.
Even the wait on the Battlegrounds is over 30min.

Yes because it is logical to think that all of the registered accounts for Rift are from people who did not play World of Warcraft.
Actually I attributed it to the reason why they have lost more subs than previous expansions, not lose subs in general.
But you are right, I can not offer any proof because there is not any information on the number of people who left World of Warcraft to play Rift for me to do so. That being said there is more than enough correlation based on past history to confidently say that a good portion of the Rift registered accounts were made up of World of Warcraft players. 400,000 that cancelled their World of Warcraft subscriptions to play Rift? I don't know, but there is certainly a significant amount.

Hopefully the loss of so many subs will cause Blizzard to reconsider the direction they've been heading in with WoW. They've done a pretty good job of pretending that there aren't any problems with their new design philosophy by whitewashing their forums but there's really no ignoring the loss of 600,000 subscribers in just a few months.

All you have to do is look at the current 4.2 patch notes to know they haven't reconsidered anything.
