I am shocked that the kung fu pandas expansion did not get the fan base excited enough to buy a copy, shocked!

Meh, I purchased it since I own all the other xpacks. My wife likes WoW so we re-subbed to try MoP.
Honestly, it feels lack luster to both of us. It could be the xpack or it could be we're just done with WoW once and for all.

RE-READ IT. Sales of MoP are down 60% from the PREVIOUS expansion Cata, not from the total subscriber base.
Now all we need is Activision to make a Super Smash Brother's game with all the Blizzard characters...
It's only Actiblizz and their monetize everything mantra that keeps this churning out like a factory now.

Fuggin trolls. I'm sick of the kung fu panda references. The 'Pandas' have been part of the lore long before either movie came out.
Second, since the family and I all play, I purchased 5 copies of the digital version, and none of the physical. So, I contributed heavily to the 'poor retail performance'. The queue of 1200 players during prime times tells me that I'm not alone.
Finally, the expansion is very well executed. The artwork, engine upgrades and story lines are all phenomenal. Is the game dumbed-down for the masses from the old Molten Core 40 man raids? Sure. Are there a lot of usability enhancements which have been made to keep Blizzard's offering current with competition? Absolutely. Is the game worth playing? My monthly subscription says yes.
