Tah dosent claim that Casuals are a majority. All he asks is to respect the game mode he likes, which is a fair thing to say.
However… you on the other hand… lets unpack that BS you just posted.
FIRST. The term “casual” refers to playtime. Not game mode or skill. You can be a “casual” player doing Mythic Raiding or Heroic Raiding. Just to put an example here.
Get me those numbers. Not numbers you made up from thin air.
For starters, M+ participation depends on its difficulty and season. And we got data for that via Raider IO. Latest data shows 2M weekly COMPLETED keys. With out counting INCOMPLETE keys (let me remind you that ALL dungeons have sub 60% completion rate, some reaching 30/40% completion rate).
So I got my numbers for M+. You don’t.
My numbers suggest there are hundred thousands, if not MILLIONS people doing M+ every week. It would be absurd to claim that all of a sudden that is 10% of the sub numbers… What ? All of a sudden Blizz has 50M subs or something ? I doubt that.
Basically, you… are… WRONG…
Especially because you can be a casual player, AND enjoy M+/Raids/PvP as well. You don’t HAVE to like Outdoor activities. That is where you are especially wrong. Where even CASUALS don’t want to do Open World activities.
Like I said. Pure BS.
WHERE… ARE… THESE… PEOPLE… ???
So if there are so many people in (1) why cant I see them in the Open World ? I literately did that. And I presented my results in a post above. I literally compared say… Hollowfall Wold Quest zone (the light the 4 candles one) in S1 of WW, where everyone was there farming Delve Keys and stuff… to today.
The difference is STARK. It went from 100s of people to literally just 2. On a Sunday. Prime time.
In addition to witnessing this myself, I presented posts in this forum of other people complaining that they don’t see anyone in the open world. In previous expansions.
You know what angers me the most about this blanket statement you just made up? About this “massive” casual community out there ?
The key level squish. It was made BECAUSE blizzard listened to this “massive” player base.
How many people do you know that are “chilling and honing their skills” in Heroic and M0? Yeah… that’s what I thought… NOBODY. And I got data to prove it. Unlike YOU.
So blizzard made the MASSIVE mistake of listening to blokes like you and ruined M+ for the ACTUAL majority of people that enjoy M+. With a timer.
So stop making up numbers please.
Dont believe me? Here: Have a read…
