QUOTE(gaeria84 @ Jul 5 2012, 11:28 AM) A 60% drop in player numbers is no laughing matter, especially for a company who makes their profits from the RMAH. 60% less players, 60% less profit. That's why they decided to come out and tell us that endgame in this game is simply not sufficient because they KNOW that player numbers are dropping way too fast and they KNOW that player retention is a huge issue in this game. Problem with this, you are stating all these as facts, but... all you got are1. unreliable statistics from dubious sources 2. playing amateur psychologist in second-guessing CM statements |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jul 5 2012, 11:15 AM) so you're gonna derail this to bots and avoid answering my honest question/plea? can... can haz their contactz??let me turn this back to you: "why do you think people run bots on a game?" "is it because there is interest, and it is profitable to run bots on said game?" do think about it. as for bashiok, i've provided some VERY generous numbers to "proof" his fact. you can't even at least attempt to rebuke that? come on, if you want to flame a troll, at least put some effort in to it.

The supposed most cunning master tactitian.Telling a story while slashing mobs. Pretty difficult to comprehend what he is saying when I'm busy running away from OP Elites. |
