If this game is dying...

Then why is the game so huge, so popular, is filled with people, of every level and most importantly... WHY DO PEOPLE IN GAME NEVER COMPLAIN???

I read these forums, and all I see are complaints from hardcore players that the game is too easy, too boring, doesn't feel epic. But what really makes me LMAO is that every single complaint is written by a level 1, such as myself. It's never a player in full tier 7.5, with over 5000 achievement points!

Why am I writing this? Because Blizzard scares me. Blizzard seems to be the kind of person that will actually do what a couple thousand people ask for and give them what they want. I mean WTH??? Ask what the REAL PLAYERS want in WoW! Not the General Forums!

I'm so scared of Blizzard, it wouldn't surprise me if they brought back 40-man raids, Legendaries and Epics were only for players that play 6+ hours a night and no content for casuals like in the past. Blizzard is so unpredictable these days, I wish they could just tell the hardcore community to STFU and that WoW is for casuals and they will never go back to the old days that millions of people hated.

I would contend that people do voice their concerns in the game, it's just not as concentrated given that they are most likely talking in passing and mostly concentrating on playing the game itself.

That said, do not be afraid, for lo, came a CM to spread joyous tidings.

But seriously, we take feedback into account from many sources, not just from the forums. While the forum community is a part of the feedback, we play the game, we listen to general, trade, etc chats. We read guild forums, participate in guilds and more. We also do our own internal testing and are always looking for new ideas of how we can make things better, improve, and advance.

These arguments have gone on for a long while (harcore vs casual) and when everyone actually agrees on what exactly harcore is and what exactly casual is, we may be able to look at those definitions in a different light. As of now, I rarely come across anyone who fully agrees with what these two words truly define.
