This game is clearly dying and very fast with subscription rates at 5.6 million and dropping due to how poorly the game is balanced and how much new content gets added without balancing said content. Every single head person at Blizzard needs to watch this video, and they need to get their balancing team's **** together and make this right. New content every year isn't going to make the game fun if the game itself in fundamentally ****. Blizzard also may need to look to a completely open free-to-play option, as it seems like Activision is seeking their poisonous fangs into this franchise and slowly killing it. World of Warcraft fans aren't the same mindless buyers that Call of Duty players are, and Activision needs to realize that if that's the case. Or, they'll single handedly kill one of the most successful franchises of all time.

At this rate, there will be. Just because they control the market now, doesn't mean they'll control it in the next couple of years when something better comes along. On a side note, WoW subscriptions are at an all time low of 5.6 million subs and still dropping.

There have been several MMORPGS fighting for the title of WoW-Killer, and they have all failed WildStar, SWTOR, GuildWars 2, and Archage; just to name a few.

However WoW is doing a bang up job of killing itself, I quit playing just at the end of Lich King and I have never looked back.

There's a new one coming out(do not know when) but i think it's called Black desert or something like that. It has such a character personalization that there are people making real and fictional characters out of it (Ex. Anime protagonists, Jon Snow's actor etc.)

WoW Legion is the new expansion, not that it matters, just wanted to drop it here. Honestly, this game has gone a really long way... Everything's got an end, and WoW is just delaying theirs. It used to be the most played game ever, now it's down to a few who have been playing since the very beginning...

I never even bothered to try the game because of the subscription fee (if I remember correctly, it was around 13 euros). Imo it would help a bit making the game f2p, but even if they did, WoW has had it's moments of glory. Let it go... Let it go...

The game sucks because everyone garrisons for WoW tokens. When new expansion comes out I'm quitting because they are just ruining the game

Any game that claims to be a WoW killer usually fails in a year. It's pretty sad. I myself am enjoying Skyforge though, while we're on the topic of MMOs. Any you guys played it?

Anywho, back to WoW. It won't die. It will keep some veterans, even if the changes piss them off. They've spent almost 10 years on the game. They won't give up. It will continue to attract new players as well. The number of active accounts for WoW falling out are likely people like me; people who aren't veterans who played it for a bit, thought it was cool, but don't have the strength of nostalgia to keep interested in the game. Edit: People who were introduced to MMO's by other games (Guild Wars in my case) and tried WoW, decided they didn't like it as much as everyone else seems to, and left.

Don't get me wrong though, I did devote a good year to the game through Lich and Cataclysm, and I did enjoy it for the most part. But Guild Wars 2 was on the horizon at the time and I had just started playing League, so I quit.
