This is the real gw cycle.

GW's policies and prices drive people away from buying their stuff.

GW makes even worse policies and raises prices.

Is that why they're on year four of record growth? Stock is soaring, and I can't quantify it, but I hear the player base is larger than ever. I'd never suggest using stock price as a metric for how well they treat their consumers, but clearly customers are not fleeing in droves.
As much as we love this Fandom, we do need to temper our expectations with the reality of business requirements. They are a publicly traded company, and so beholden to their public shareholders. You can even become one of their shareholders, and they even give you a nice dividend at the end of each year!
