People want to talk about quitting all the time. The devs are not worried about the loyal players quitting. They think that all these changes and the addition of CoV are going to increase their fanbase. They are trying to attract players from WoW and other similar games by changing the game to be more similar. Most of the loyal players like myself play this game because it is different then WoW and most other mmorpgs. The devs believe that the loyal players that that will lose will be out weighed by the players they gain. Lets face it, a great majority of the people on here who talk about quitting will not end up doing it anyway.
I personally dont believe that their game is going to be able to attract all the WoWers the way they think it can. Most people dont play pvp except to screw around with friends, yet still the developers are still pushing the move to a more PvP format.
To be honest the game itself is repetitive and boring. They ONLY reason I still play is I enjoy the friendships I have made. If they make it so bad that all my friends quit then I wont have a reason to play, and if thats the case, good luck with my game WoWers, hope you enjoy all being the same toon.
