I'm sorry what were we talking about? Scarlett Johansson has entered the thread and I lost my train of thought.

DSL FTW.

Ok since I started this thread I figure I will make a comment or two. Basically what we have learned is that TB as well as many other (but not all) high end guilds are having recruiting issues. Their "bad rep" may or may not have caused this and several core players got tired of people licking windows during raids and left. Aestu hates almost everyone that is not named Zaryi. And finally we learned that Blizzard may or may not inflate account totals but they really could not since they are a publicly traded company.

Oh and is Tempest really coming back? That would be sweet if they did.

Almost perfect, one error:

We weren't saying that Blizzard straight up inflates the totals on their books - we are saying that Blizz CLAIMS the totals are higher than they really are. Totals are inflated by people who have multiple accounts, Chinese people who have to pay a fraction of the cost that Americans/Europeans have to people for subscription, as well as people who may have open accounts but simply don't play anymore. Basically, the consensus is the actual active player base is much smaller than that 14 million total. So yes, Blizzard is definitely inflating their subscription number figure when they market their product (they aren't telling Activision, the company that owns them, that they have higher numbers than they do...they are just lying to consumers).

You have a very limited knowledge of my interactions with that individual.
Hopefully someone with a better understanding will set you straight.

Because to do so would have more validity and emphasis coming from someone else.

Aestu is "not passionate" towards Zaryi.

Though I think that does more to set Aestu gay than anybody straight.

It was meant as a slight joke. Maybe if I worded it that you argue with everyone or something else. Basically my whole reply was tongue in cheek. Although we have not had many interactions this expansion aside from a few whispers while in the same zone, i know you do not hate everyone but you tend to come off that way from time to time. Again, it was suppose to be more of a chuckle than anything else.

Their press releases aren't aimed solely at potential players - they're also read by potential investors (and thus they have a bunch of legal disclaimers at the bottom). While not all of their subscriptions may meet your standard of an "active" player (and you can't just arbitrarily exclude everyone in China from this either - the fact that they pay less to subscribe doesn't mean they aren't playing the game), they aren't claiming they have 12 million "active players" up to your standards, but 12 million subscriptions. The latter is almost certainly true.
