People are blowing the changes way out of proportion. The changes aren't that bad. The numbers on paper look a lot worse than they are. And the outcry? No worse than what you see with every patch on the WoW forums. In fact, I'd go as far as to say significantly less than that. The trolls are just having their field day. They expected "superheor" meant "godmode" and are mad to see they were wrong.

I honestly see this as the last expansion for WoW if it's even true at all, considering Blizz is currently making another MMO.

 

Why? SOE is still putting out expansions for EQ1, why do you think Bliz would be stopping with WoW expansions after only 3?

Servers cost money to maintain. Support crew costs money. Development costs money. Guildwars manages to run for free because it's not a "true" MMORPG (They even admit to this themselves). The instancing reduces the server load MASSIVELY. It's basically a pretty Diablo 2 in terms of how the game is hosted. Most of the load is client-side. Additionally, GW's expansions pay the upkeep cost. Not to mention GW doesn't have anywhere near the support staff that WoW does.

 

Besides, they're in this to make money. Why would they want to lose 8,000,000*$15/month?
