Since World of Warcraft has my favorite fantasy lore in mmos i would resub more often if they kept content fresh. I dont play for dungeons or raids, i play for the lore.
They're better off doing full revamps on the classes that already exist, and perhaps bringing them down to 2 specs like the Demon Hunter. That way they are more focused and balance is easier to achieve across all the classes.
If anything this would drive me even further away from the chance of returning to WoW. The dumbing down of the game over the past few years drove me away in the first place. (replacing talent trees etc) When I heard of the demon hunter only having two choices, this further drove me away.
It's almost like bliz thinks as a gamer, I am too stupid to be able to take a system with multiple options and choices, and have fun with it. I really enjoy in depth class building systems like Rift, ESO, and to even an extent GW2. I enjoy class systems that give me many many options on how to build my character, but makes each of the choices a hard choice. Where I have to give up something very nice, to get something else.
Instead bliz think's this is too hard for my piddly little brain to handle.
I always get excited and return for an expansion (or after having quit for a while, just bored of everything else available), but with the current rate and quality of content, they have no chance of keeping me beyond the first couple months of an expansion. They look like they're definitely trying, but they do seriously need to step up their game for Legion or they will dip far below 5 million subs after that initial spike this time around.
I don't care so much about them adding new hero classes, though. For all I care they can keep the existing ones for the rest of the game's lifespan. New races, though, I would like.
One expansion per year would be amazing, though I wonder what the quality of the content would be like.
Either way, I'll be back and forth from WoW until it's dead, probably.

With Blizzard's income from WoW and the fact that they get a sub every month, the quality of their content, yearly, should be great - but they don't invest and don't care to do it as people are buying the next expac in droves already, so there is no incentive to invest more money as they have bagged loads of guaranteed players almost a year out.
the combat is supreme. The immersion is shit, moving further and further away from the mmorpg feel. But the combat is just epic, fluently, fast, and interresting in a pvp perspective.
they release an expansion and then start working on the next one leaving the actual expansion that is going to be played for 2 years~ with little to no cotent .....is no wonder they lost so many subs.
i dont say dont work on next expansion , but come on...Legion is going to be awesome because the have been working since WOD was released....lots of promises the team now has doubled! yet? half assed expansion.
and 1 year of no content every expansion ???? come on we are talking about WOW the mmorpg that made BILLIONS ....yet they cant be bothered to keep content going? , while others with 10% or less of that can?
Not a chance... quit the game almost 3 years ago now. Will never resub. The last 2 times I did resub I lasted a month at expansions at the time I lasted a month for the drudgery of bots arrived with the zones being mapped and started making the grind more annoying.

I keep going back once or twice a year, sinking a few weeks into grinding for PVP gear then realising by the time I've gotten it that I'm bored again. Yet it's a cycle I cannot break!
If Blizzard committed to: No less than 1 true expansion per year.. No less than 1-2 additional DLC per year. 1 new class or hero class every 2 years.
I've played since launch. Quit a million times.. re-subbed usually within 6 months.
I will typically quit if a new game catches my attention, but always seem to return.
For me, if they kept content fresh I would continue to play.. no question.
For me is not about content at all, it is about mechanics. If Blizzard reverts WoW to Vanilla standards I will resubscribe in a heartbeat. Everything was better, PvE more challenging even Open World PvP was fun.
Or at least they should make a Classic server with old mechanics, I bet it would be a hit.
as if i care about classes etc. i started playing Blizzard games cause i liked strategy games then i enjoyed their story that peaked with Warcraft 3. so naturally i followed them in WoW as well. i could have easily stick with Everquest 2 at the time i couldn't let go of Warcraft's IP.
obviously they had to ruin the story cause that's the nature of MMO (hard to make story for) but until the end of WOTLK it was still enjoyable. then i couldn't care less for anything afterwards. they just basically misused all their iconic characters, which is why they are bringing them back one after another.
i am very tempted to get back into the game more than ever thanks to the Illidari's right now, but i don't want to pay for Warlords of Draenor + Legion + Subscription all together so i won't. (yea i know there is/was a sale it still doesn't fix my problem completely. it feels games keep punishing you for being a loyal fan and i don't support that)
