Yo peeps, where is all the WoW population moving to? Everywhere, including (I believe) retail, WoW is diminishing, so where are all these players going to? What is the new FOTM?

Yo peeps, where is all the WoW population moving to? Everywhere, including (I believe) retail, WoW is diminishing, so where are all these players going to? What is the new FOTM?
I feel it shouldn't have to diminish the way it currently is, I just feel Blizzard can't seem to get themselves back on track with making good expansions anymore. They've been on a harsh decline since WoTLK, but even WoTLK had its issues, just not as bad as Cata, they rebounded a little with MoP, but then slapped people in the face with WoD. Roughly put, people aren't happy with the current direction of WoW and people aren't taking their **** anymore, I'm one of those people, so I moved back here to play MoP with a retail friend that also has just recently quit retail WoW.
Now as for your question, "where are people going"? Hopefully here and hopefully away. I feel Molten/Warmane isn't the worst place to be, but I just came from Heroes of The Storm Beta and it also feels like Blizzard is destroying that game to. They just wanna cater to the whiniest babies these days and that's mostly who's staying behind to play that dump of a game. Personally, I hope my time here at Warmane doesn't last to to long, sure i'm having fun, but man I'm getting old and just wanna be done with WoW all together and I can only hope some others are feeling the same as me.
What's the new FoTM? There isn't one, people are getting tired of creating new MMO's as they're a dying genre. Every new one that comes out, just falls flat on it's face and with WoW slowly dying off, there isn't much of a reason to create a new MMO and hopefully it starts to stay that way is they're are already to many WoW clones as it is and even the MMO's that aren't WoW clones, all pretty much suck and started to fall off the map, like:
SWToR
Rift
EQ II
STO
AoC
WHO
and
any other one that people can think up. No other mmo has ever competed with Blizzard's World of Warcraft and they never will, hopefully the genre population dies off and people move on to other more interesting things like real life.
WOW is dying, there is no doubt, a MMO rpg that last over 10 years is already a legend.
