According to everyone else I'm not a troll though. Cause if they were to admit that then they would have to admit to getting OWNED! 
Right. Because trolling someone on a gaming board is a huge accomplishment in the first place. Just pull up your big-boy pants, admit you were an idiot, and move on. That's what an adult would do in this situation. And stop stealing Korrigan's self-delusion pills, it's getting pathetic.

The main flaw with the OP's theory is that PC gaming is pretty much dead now. It is all platform now.
I keep hearing this "PC gaming pretty much dead" lately. Some random youtuber about bad company 2/EA also did this.
I didn´t quite get the general point of that quote. Does anybody care to explain this a bit more thoroughly  ?

People have been saying that since the original Nintendo. Some genres are in better shape than others, but PC gaming isn't dead.

Thanks, but it's been fun
Five more minutes then I'm done!
I've been saying that to myself since
...yesterday.

Probably too late to be chipping in on this discussion without being involved in the you're an idiot/no I'm a troll side conversation, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Just because Blizzard got from A to B in one fashion doesn't mean the path to point C is achieved in the same way. I find it amusing the number of people complaining about GC now and saying he's going to kill the game and wishing that Kaplan would come back. Just as many people complained about Kaplan when he was in charge and made changes that were not personally liked by the person complaining.
While I do agree that some of the decisions that were made in the development of Cata have made the game more tedious (healing changes, length of time to complete heroics, change to points from badges and capping, making it longer for people to gear up from heroics), I disagree with the point that the game no longer appeals to the average skill level gamer. If anything, the game has become easier to play and is more appealing to the average gamer (less choices to make when placing talent points, buttons light up when it's time to use certain skills, less strict rotations for DPS classes).

You have not played past level 80 then.
Once you hit cata dungeons, the game in no way appeals to the average gamer. Even with all the right pretty buttons lighting up, the average WoW player is too retarded to get through a cataclysm normal without lots of deaths/wipes.
Might as well play WoW on a free private server now, because there is no reason to do anything or associate outside of your guild, ever.

I have an 85, completed every heroic (done a few achieves here and there) and raided a portion of the first tier (6 bosses killed).
I guess it depends on what the definition of "average gamer" really is.
My 10yr old son plays and has 2-85's. Raids on his DK and has been tanking on his paladin (not geared enough for heroics yet). I don't think that he would fit the definition though.
A couple of women I know (mother's of my daughter's friends) play that probably are closer to what an "average gamer" is, and while they are enjoying things, I don't think they have hit 85 yet.
I would venture out on a limb and say that an average WoW player is not to be found posting on this forum, and probably isn't found posting on Blizzard's forums either.

Agree, the average wow player doesn't post on forums, they are too busy wiping on trash in cata normals.

Total crap.
Absolute nonsense.
Gutter im suprised by you.
Anyone actually saying that WoW needs to be easier is seriously disturbed. Im concerned for your mental health, seriously.
WoW became a once in a lifetime Sensation when it was Vanilla, not BC, not Wrath, not Cata. Those expansions have continued to build on WoW's subscription base, but they DID NOT put the monster into puberty; regular WoW did that.
Regular WoW that had tougher leveling, tougher quests, tougher dungeons, and opvp that inhibited leveling at times (on pvp servers). Gear was not yet the determinating factor in ALL pvp like it mostly is today.
Dumbing down this game any further would allow it to be played on my 6 year olds DS while sitting on a swing at recess.
No thanks and no wonder so many of us have left.
