I gave up playing WoW because I honestly felt like if you weren't completely dedicated and had a team of buddies you'd just be stuck beating your brains out after endlessly grinding up levels. I wanted to play with my buddy but the insane amount of dedication to get to lvl 80 just killed my mood for it, which is honestly why I'm excited for Guild Wars 2, being able to team up with anyone at any level just makes my addiction for MMO's grow insatiable, oh and monthly fees suck even Team Fortress 2 has no monthly fees and yet they keep cranking out new material.

WOW doesn't need anything - The devs have set out their future in same old same old and ppl just need to accept that WOW is stagnant and without any real innovated design.

So ... If you want more of the same - stay.  If you want to see something new - unsub and either force their hand or go into the new games coming in next few months.   Its a win/win for the players.

world of warcraft will never go free i dont play wow myself but imagine this.

if i was the big owner of WoW i would make the game f2p with a pay to win cash shop before putting it down.

imagina how much all those addicts would pay for this game they could get LOADS more money out of this game from my point of vieuw but it is good that they wont go that way

WoW probably doesn't need to do anything until it dips below 1m subs (or whatever the break even number is), so given that is as likely to happen as SOE not ruining an MMO, it's going to be more of the same while the masses keep lapping it up.

maybe wow needs many things, but i'm sure it doesn't need f2p. you know many f2p games survives only 1 or 2 years. cause the company will sell items or other things to earn money. that will break the balance of the game. wow doesn't do this, so it lasts so long time.

The way WoW is heading (cash shop and "premium" features), they may as well go free to play.

Because the hell am I going to play a game where you get double dipped just to play it.

For the amount of fixes, balance, updates and community moderation, the game damn well better be free soon.

needs...more of the same.

I hope WoW never dies - so it's terrible community not going to ruin other mmos I like.

The original post made me laugh. That is all.

I couldn't be free, I've played a lot of free mmorpgs and not one of them have had as many changes to them as WoW, WoW can't be free to play as it would not be able to progress like it does
