Porygon said:If you think there is no social aspect to vanilla (or classic) wow, you ate gravely mistaken. You can level to 60 solo all you want, butnonce there you'd better make some friends or you will not be advancing your character at all. If you don't communicate in the higher end dungeons, you will not succeed.
Every single player that decides to play another game instead of pantheon hurts us in the end. Because every single player has the potential to recruit friends, family, ex guildies etc... regardless of how strong you think the community is currently, it can always be larger and stronger. The more subs, means the more resources at VRs disposal, meaning the better CS, patches, content etc we will get.
Also, as someone who has experienced high end raiding in era during both games, wow raiding was and still is significantly harder and less forgiving than eq raiding. I honestly don't see how someone could even think otherwise.
Well you can't please everyone Porygon, and some people are game hoppers, never happy. In the end, they'll decide for themselves which game suits them best. :)
