Anecdotally speaking, my server has lost a lot of well-known raiders and high-profile guilds due to end of expansion blues, the release of SW:TOR, changes to raid mechanics (25-man vs. 10-man), and simple burnout. I suspended my own account recently not due to any of the aforementioned, but because so many of the people I loved to play with had left. Just as people bring friends into the game, they bring them out, as well.

I had thought this number would be bigger, as a result. But I'm glad it's only 1%, and not the downward spiral I had feared. I'm looking forward to account-wide achievements and all the other goodies that Pandaria promises to bring!
