WoW? try EVE Online.

out of ALL the MMOs CCP (devs of EVE) are the most fucked here.

you have a developer of the game that is based in Iceland with a majority European player base that has an entirely player run economy with ships and mods that are the equivalent of like thousands of dollars. Add to the fact that player heists in the game are fairly regular. You may have never played the game but I can guarantee you that you've read an article about some massive in game heist.

If you're CCP right now and reading about this, you're concerned.
