So if you are the type of player that is casual or your in game activities are solo stuff, world boss, raid finder, or T1-T4 raids, life for you in game would not change.
The playerbase affected the most by no more significant development going forward are those players in the top raiding guilds, the 6 guilds that have cleared T6 and the handful more still working on T6. For those players, there's nothing to look forward to other than ongoing alt T6 raids. Eventually those players will bleed out due to boredom, etc and there will be no more guilds tackling endgame content. Then AoC will be left with the "casual" players for lack of a better term.
