A quite broad claim, Bremen. We'll see in a couple of months, since according to your theory and numbers, logically 95% of the players would then have quit out of boredom, something which definitely didn't even remotely happen for now.

Oh, nah, I claim no such thing. Back in Classic lots of people still played and more came in even though the endgame dungeons were almost wholly inaccessible by the masses.
I am just saying that they went back to "hardmode" for everything but Normal 5-mans and most people won't get to play in them. Apparently this is ok for Blizzard and I think a lot of folks are scratching their heads as to why.
Edit: Btw, I am not in the "the sky is falling" "WoW is going to crash and burn!" crowd.

You know, it's interesting, after looking back through old WoTLK threads (for fun, google - WoTLK easy site:vnboards.ign.com, the thread dates start shortly after WoTLK released), I noticed that Blizzard put out a press release a month or two after WoTLK was released, saying subscription numbers had gone up yet again. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21654
Yea, still waiting for that press release after Cata...
I'm not saying the sky is falling either, but it's undeniable that there is fallout.

What I think is happening right now is they are in "wait and see" mode since their changes are so awesome that even though they have slung old players off that probably would have left anyway (right?), they will be gaining millions of new players with their low level changes.
Or, I am completely wrong and noone has left except for 2-3 people on this forum and WoW is strong as ever. I would be glad for it too.

A: Yes. Some day. It will take a lot of programmer time to implement, but it's something we want to do.

I loved the dye set up in WAR. You only dyed certain portions of your armor so it added a color you chose and still kept the over all feel and design of the piece. It wasn't like DAoC where you jsut pasted a new color over the whole armor graphic.
While I love a lot of the graphics they have for the armor that match the expec or the class or whatever, it sucks not being able to customize it in any way shape or form.

One of the best features of DAOC was you could dye your armor at any level, and many dyes were cheaply purchased from NPC vendors.
Made the game tons more enjoyable.

I agree. Just by being able to dye you were much more customizable... and there was nothing like murdering people in all pink leather on my Shadowblade.
