Although I never really got into the WoW game for long, I can appreciate the remark about how a change, or patch, affected the enjoyment of their games. In D2, a LONG awaited patch totally changed the game balance. Long standing characters (I had a level 99 magic find sorceress and many other high level chars) could no longer play the game alone.... which for the most part, is how I enjoyed playing. Wasn't long after that patch went live that I let all my accounts just vanish into thin air. Heck, I had more mules than Juan Valdez!! Tried to find every item in the game, and was not far from it.
But Bliz will do that to you. You buy their game, play it for some time, then when sales lapse and the cost to maintain the servers isn't balanced by the revenue coming in, anticipate a change that will essentially shut the game down for most folk. Well, at least if they are not charging a monthly fee to play. It's a darned if you do, darned if you don't scenario. No monthly fee, shortened lifespan. Monthly fee, smaller subscriber base.
