 Keep on dancing around that semantic line! Unless, of course, you think gnats are perceptive, intelligent insects, then saying someone has the perception of a gnat if they don't agree with your opinion of the game, is pretty much calling someone stupid. You actually look silly trying to play the innocent game.

Again, this is nothing but your interpretation of what I said.

So, tell us, since my interpretation is so wrong and you weren't actually trying to belittle or insult those who disagree with you, what exactly did you mean by "If you've convinced yourself of anything to the contrary you have the perception of a gnat."  |

It isn't a Rubik's cube. If you can't comprehend it then you're beyond having it explained to you.

You're wrong but I'm not going to tell why you are wrong. Just take my word for it. I say you are wrong, therefore you are wrong.
Fixed.

Thinking about it, there's probably some truth in the statement that a lack of new content is having an effect - though that's probably not entirely true, since what content is available isn't very substantial and the increased difficulty and gated advancement affects casuals and semi-casuals far more than Blizzard was anticipating. Throw in the arrogant dismissal of feedback and all of the other new niggling things you see people complaining about on the forums/blogs/Amazon reviews/etc and you have a recipe for a MMO that lost touch with not only its base but even some of its more hardcore fans.
And it still kills me to see the hardcore fans dismissing the impact of a 600k drop in subscribers, which Blizzard all but outright admitted is largely from the Western and Oceanic audience. I've heard a lot of things such as "600k is a drop in the bucket for a MMO with 12 million customers". Which completely ignores that fact that only about 6 million of those customers have access to Cataclysm, not even all of those purchased it, so it's a drop of at most 10% of the $15/month crowd, most likely closer to 8-9%. Factor in that massive, rapid attrition in MMOs usually doesn't stop, and yea, Blizzard should be worried. I don't think they need to just completely fold and start trying to please everyone and make some kind of weak-sounding apology - but basically thumbing their nose and making forum posts like "oh hey we got this, you can dance in combat again so now everyone will be happy" is probably worse than just shutting the F up.
