Seriously, every post i read on here is how WoW has over 10million accounts. Now, stop me if im wrong, but are you saying all 10 million are not BOTS / Gold farming accounts, and accounts of multiboxers ???
Seriously i couldnt give a flying dwarf in a barrel of honeys toss how many play wow. im moving away from wow, as its become stagnated boring and endless pointless grind for either, reputation to buy new stuff, or to get that new pvp reward. I want a game that rewards me in RL for the fun and emersion it gives. I have had my wow account since launch, and now its time to let my horde players gather pixie dust. Wait and see, i give it till Xmas and all 70s will be 80 and then back bored, twiddling their thumbs killing low level players and grinding 1000000000000000 Rep All Mythic needs to do, is reward players not for how long they fight, but for how GOOD they fight. |

So what you're saying is you hate popular games because you want to be different. |

Because 10 mill+ is a selling point for the game. Though to me I wouldn't care if it had 20 mill subs, I still wouldn't go back playing it. I'm more of a Starcraft and Diablo fan than WOW when it comes to Blizzard games. |

You can either agree with me or be wrong! |
You're right, you don't look like a hater, just an idiot that generalizes population to a specific race. |

Well... the thing is... 10 million accounts have been made over the years... it's not 10 million are playing right now. I have an account, I do not play anymore... but my account is still there... Ask someone from Blizzard if they count the gamecards also in the 10 million. Trust me they will try talk about something else. It look good in the News to say that you have 10 million accounts... EU servers was kind of empty last time I checked. Sure a lot of people in the big citys (afk), but around the world WoW didn't look so full of millions of people. If it did have 10 million... wouldn't the PvP for exmaple have less time to wait before a match? =D |

tbh, if you all logged onto your servers and reroll a new character and talk to all the level 0-60s you will find the vast majority of these players are rolling a new character and are not new players.

They do not count the accounts that have been inactive for over a month I believe. All the ones they're tallying are actual subscribers, whether they're bot farmers and the likes. But you have to at least subscribe... if it was for all accounts made then every game would bloat about how they have 100 million accounts. |

No, actually Blizzard is one of the few companies that carefully defines what a subscriber is and is not, and yes, they really did have up to 10.7 million active subscribers at one point this year. (they didn't use the term accounts). Say what you want about Blizzard, they don't use nearly as many weasel words that other firms do. And they aren't all Chinese players. While I gave the game up about 21 months ago, my son has played steadily, as has most of his friends. This along with a 50 year old co-worker of mine who just discovered MMO's and WOW at Christmas and is now playing the game with relish. So still plenty of folks in the US and Europe I'm sure. Finally to the OP, it happens. You've played this game for almost 4 years. Every game gets boring after awhile. You stayed in it for far longer than I was able to tolerate, but while I was there, I had a really good time. No reason to bash the game now that you are bored with it. Move on and play something else like LOTRO until the next expansion, or go really off the wall and play something different like EVE.
