-Change is always bad to players
-Maintain your game to keep it relevant
-Ban the cheaters
-Plan patches, but leave time to be reactive
-Don't panic!
-Don't forget your towel

Blizzard's current approach to MMOs is "Cater to the 10% of players that do nothing but play the game, piss on the other 90%". I don't see that listed.

Funny thing is that 10% would argue the opposite that its only for casuals anymore. I don't get how they keep so many subscribers when all i ever hear is complaining about the game.
