[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 4421549, member: 9810"] I thought we were beyond this, we are talking about the percentages. These are the numbers we have to discuss, if you have better numbers let's see them. Yes, some people on 'teh intraweb' are psychos. But 50% of them? Well, they can play other MMORPGs, but if they want to keep playing WoW then I guess the changes weren't that polarizing... But you can stop buying comics the very next issue if you don't like the direction of the storyline, you can't give back the PHB (well, I suppose you could, but who returns gaming books? - yeah, yeah, I'll hear from them now). I would say comics would be more adversly effected by disenfranchising their base, thus the fact they they stay in business proves that they aren't alienating half their customers with "every single change". Not sure I get your question. This wasn't about the books selling well, this was a response to the changeover taking an extended period. My point was that sales are the best when things are new, next year 4.0 won't be the "new thing" anymore. Umm, OK? Was I arguing this? Again, why go with "conversion rates" of high ticket items? Of course something costing thousands of dollars doesn't have a high conversion rate. Cars =/= RPGs... Well, 3 months makes my point even better. As Darrin said, you see the most sales right after release. You're right, people certainly don't download things illegally because they want something for nothing. Oh, wait... Darrin stole my thunder again, but they did say "finish up your 3.5 campaigns" when they announced it at Gen Con last year... Not to be snarky, but, link? Well, now I think it will get to 60-70% (I put all the partial changeovers into the 4.0 column and I think some that haven't played will change as well), but I guess only time will tell... [/QUOTE]
