Bullshit. 99% of the posters on the forum hate it. Where exactly are you getting your "data"?
Data from surveys...
The fanbois and those that have builds that will benefit form the Enhancement Crash didn't bother to post but did fill out the survey...
And the way the survey are made has also an impact, you can twist numbers generated by a survey in such a way that everything seems to be sunny even when it's all black.
The survey we have for the Enhancement Crash can be easily twisted to show that everybody likes it in nice graphs, as most of the important things is in adlib boxes ( what you like the best, what you dislike the most, what change you'd like, ... )
Manglement don't care about adlib boxes, they want nice powerpoints with shiny graphs, and these will come from the few checkboxes/multiple choice questions from the survey, as they are
unimportant ( for us ) [ like which tree you prefer, which tree you hate ] the survey shows that everybody likes the Enhancement Crash, despite the fact that a huge majority of the forum posters hates it. And after a quick survey in my guild, most of the people don't care about it, as they know anything they try will not have any impact on it, it's going to be forced down our throat even if we don't want it... Some will quit if it breaks their chars, others will just TR and do something else, that's the only sure thing I got from the chats. The only sure thing is that it wouldn't bring more people.
And yes I also asked to those that are exploring NWO while waiting for the Crash to happen, as quite a few went that way when the Crash was announced along with the Expansion, that's something Turbine has not taken into account : That people are so fed up with fubared things and half arsed ideas that they just left for greener pastures while waiting to see how fucked up things are... then they might eventually come back or stay where they all went.
