I can't really sympathize with the people who quit the game because the 'Pandas' are being introduced.
If you don't like them - just don't play them and you shouldn't have a problem. In fact you can actually kill them in battlegrounds so if you hate pandas that much you should in fact be happy.
And yes WoW players are already called 'Nerds' so what does it matter if the pandas make it worse?
To quote the (in my opinion) most brilliant comedian Steve Hughes:"If people offend you, just be offended, not like anything is gonna happen, you aren't gonna wake up in the morning and say: Oh my god I got offended yesterday and now I have leprosy"
It might sound like I'm attacking people but of course everyone has there own opinion, I just feel that people's arguments make no sense.
Anyways as for the WoW killer I think there is none. I still honestly believe that no MMORPG can stand up against WoW (until Age of Wulin comes out) but the closest one is probably RIFT, though it didn't even do that much damage.
