Too little too late, half the playerbase has stopped playing. I was loving SoD initially but you can't keep people locked at Level 50 for that long with such a shortage of content, gotta let it flow a bit faster.
40man raids are an old concept that no longer work in our reality. Only streamers are defending it, because they can fill a 40man raid with their viewers.In my opinion, they should turn 40man raids into 20man, and 20man into 10man.And people saying SoD is dead, I bet all my gold that as soon as P4 release, we will get queues to log into the servers.
HYPEEEEE
Source of rumors?
20 man raids did not kill sod. Yall are lazy peasants if you cannot even find 19 other people to kill internet dragons with. I've done ST on a mage and on a resto druid every single week for the last 6 weeks, pugged. Cleared ST several times. What killed sod was too much time with no new content and little content to do already at the level cap we are restricted at. There also are not any battlegrounds beyond max level which does not help. It would be cool to just hop on a new lower level character and join a battleground to have fun doing some pvp at lower levels. SoD treats this entire game as if it is only a PvE fest and PvP is an afterthought. STV event was better than ashenvale, but still kind of lame and got old fast. They need to make something that isn't 'fun until I got my item, now its a boring chore'.
Bad Timing. You NEED to DELAY it more if S4 is going to release anywhere near The War Within launch. Or you will have a repeat of when Naxx 40 was released JUST before Shadowlands launched, leading to a lot less people doing it.
