They're going to have to cling a lot harder. The verdict is in on 9.1 numbers.
Bellular just did a line-by-line analysis of the numbers to prove 9.1 is complete trash. I've never seen a game get eviscerated this badly. Bellular is pissed.
It's open season on Blizzard.

It's not an emergency, it's just people being bored of a video game.
This is not even worth thinking about.

As Neranja previously brought up last month, this is why you couldn't PUG and have a normal SL experience in 9.1
See the trend for SL Season 1 spikes up to 1million runs, what does the SL Season 2 trend say? It's just assholes and blowjobs left playing and spreading toxicity into PUGs, all the normal people opted out.

first one is pure gold. If FF14 has 2010 graphics then wow has 2005. Wait a minute, wow actually does have 2005 graphics.

I've played all of these game modes with instant queues all season, including this week. Finding partners has been easy, even as Alliance.
PvP games played are always very high in the beginning of the season, as people grind up their CR to meet their MMR.
So this is just lying with statistics.

I have a theory about this: PvP was buffed massively by having good weapons for PvE locked behind PvP ranking on the first raid tier.
Basically, the PvP boosters made a killing. Participation dropped off the proverbial cliff once people had their weapons, and in the second tier of the expansion no one is forced into PvP, as the gear is not competitive for PvE.
I guess someone's bonus at Blizzard depended on increasing PvP participation after launch.

Next patch you’ll get to pick your pronoun.
Last wish - Nightborne customization
Greetings everyone 😊 Our characters in game are a virtual representation of who we are in Azeroth and having more character customization options to design our characters helps us feel closer to them. Shadowlands brought a whole array of new customization options to the player races in World of...eu.forums.blizzard.com
WoW is saved! Thanks Blizzard!
Top notch gaming experience.

But only after you grind a new system daily for 32 days. They should call it "HRT" or something.

Here's the actual data.
This is not a doom trend. This shows that participation has remained consistent for the past 6 weeks, after the initial rating climb. This is normal.
The fact that literally nobody was playing in the 2 months before season started is pretty telling how many people bailed during the content drought, however.

Aye, so much for a "raid expac" and people being more thirsty to raid than ever before.
First boss kills is 66%-70% of 9.0. The "Heroic week dropoff" in 9.1 due to lack of fucks given I predicted 2 months ago seems to have come to pass. I said people would stop raiding after getting a whiff of the story and hitting a handful of Heroic runs. This was based on my observation of several guilds I was in on various alts having 4/400 rosters and nobody seemingly logging in to "get ready" for 9.1. They showed up during heroic week, hit a few runs, and hit cancel. I expect last boss kill data to remain unchanged heading into 9.2.
The only thing 9.1 has been good at is making jaws hang open and leaving mouths agape-- and people wondering what the fuck happened to their friends.

But can you pick a team of AI controlled mercenaries using WoWBucks to play alongside?
Work on it.
