This.

I'm pretty sure that if all the posters on this forum created a game by consensus, that I'd not want to play it even a little bit.

With that said, there's no way that any reasonably representative population of the players of WoW could agree on anything at all, ever.

Most likely, often what would happen is that 8 different "popular" viewpoints on a given issue would cancel each other out while a 9th, representing like 12% of the population being the "majority" due to "splintering of the vote".

Two things:

1) The number of people who post on forums is a tiny fraction of the actual playerbase. I wish Blizzard would post stats on that for confirmation.

2) "A person is smart; people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it." — Agent K, Men In Black

My point was for every complaint on the official froum there are 1000-10,000 others perhaps more who feel the same way.

O really?!?! WOW you sure had me fooled! I am really glad you said that you weren't otherwise I might have taken you seriously.. omg wow don't do that again! jeez

For rizzeal. Them thinkings aint healthy.

And there are established means of communicating that back to blizzard that do not include whining on a bunch of random forum threads. A players union would actively oppress more people than it benefited, IMO.

But that's the nature of complaints: vocal.


When people are satisified or happy with a product, they remain silent and continue to buy the product. They voice their approval with continued sales.


And, again, 12 million subscribers and 3.3 million sales in one day later. . . .


Also, I must point out your 1,000-10,000 people is a number you pulled out of no where. When that many people agree about a situation they dislike, they don't suffer in silence.


Remember RealID?


If you have proof of this statistic, please post the link. I'd like to read it.
