I hope that they talk about patch 6.3 or patch 6.4 and not patch 6.2 god - living with patch 6.1 till november ... that would be insane.

They also want their employees to be able to enjoy it, they run shuttles from campus all weekend. If they did it any where else, their employees would not be able to attend. To them, its just not practical to do any where else.

also, i wouldn't call the bands they had the last 3 years B grade. FOO fighters? dave grohl is an amazing musician and puts on amazing shows, their tours easily sell out huge venues. Blink 182 is not as relevant today, but that's more to do with intra band issues and their on again off again touring etc. They still headline and sell out larger venues, and have their own successful side projects, they are perhaps the weakest of the last 3 years. Finally metallica, mother fucking metallica. They are far from irreverent, they still sell out, for high ticket prices, huge shows. Calling them B rate is like calling kiss, journey, AC/DC or Bon Jovi B rate just because they arn't putting out new music like they use to. They still draw huge crowds and demand high ticket prices. Metallica has their own multi day festival they headline. Last year it was in Detroit on Bell Isle, it took up the majority of an island park larger than central park in NYC (which despite what movies and TV may have you think, is huge)

To be fair, Blink 182 were huge a few years ago and are widely considered to be a big part of their genre. Several popular bands today such as Fall Out Boy and Paramore claim to be heavily inspired by their work too. It's true that they're past their prime though, but the impact they made was rather substantial.

I agree with you. With the movie coming out in March 2016 they will be starting to advertise it in November. The BlizzCon coming in November is the right time to launch the ads and hype for the movie.

WoD is the first expansion I'm disappointed in, the entire second half of cata sucked really badly but this is something else, my prot warrior has like 6 abilities and everything is boring as

oh god EVENTBRITE...

my experience last year both days:

YOU ARE IN QUEUE TO GET YOUR TICKET!
OH NOES THEYRE SOLD OUT!
TICKETS AVAILABLE!
OH NOES THEYRE SOLD OUT!
TICKETS AVAILABLE!
OH NOES THEYRE SOLD OUT!

agree completely. I didnt mean to imply that they are close a to a B grade, simply of the last 3, at this period of time, they are the weakest of them. They were all certainly major bands who can sell out huge venues on their own. Just Blink 182 has been doing more limited tours, and recently even broke up again (they had just gotten back together the prior year they played blizzcon) due to band issues.

Also, if people DIDN'T complain NOTHING WOULD EVER FUCKING CHANGE!!!!

Get your head out of blizzards ass.

In this day and age, with the internet around, and all this information that is freely shared, you think things would be less confusing, and a lot clearer, but unfortunately, it makes it just as easy to say something completely UNTRUE, and put it forth as fact, and have many people believe it without ever thinking about the logic behind it.

The following statement from the above post is not true, will never be true, and is 100% false: "Also, if people DIDN'T complain NOTHING WOULD EVER FUCKING CHANGE!!!!"

OR, they could just not give you a preview of the next expansion at all, until it is done. It's obvious that people complained so much about the preview they gave of WOD, that now they've backed off of previews for patches completely until the whole thing is on the ptr.

And this goes right towards the point I was just making, which is... complaining isn't always helpful, sometimes it is the opposite.
