Don't really mind if it takes up to a year to release, will give me more time to do other things like IRL stuff, I do need a break to sort stuff out anyway. Not going to quit, but a break is good now and then

this expansion is alot farther along then past expacs were. alot of the zones are done/close to done already and theres no new class to balance.
theres no new race so they dont have to make a whole bunch of completely new animations like dances and stuff.
the biggest thing they will probably have to test are the garrisons.

I get feeling we will be in Beta real soon if they already had on show some of the content. I don't think it will take a full year, but I can't see an early Spring launch either.
As above that someone else stated, will give me time to enjoy other games/PS4 a fair bit first. Also perhaps heal up a fair bit of my WoW burnout too.
Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get to feel the warmth it brings.
from what i remember they already finished the item squish back before mists came out they just didnt feel like it felt like the right time to release it, assuming they werent lying that means the only thing they have to squish and test is mists items.
as for how many are done, both the starting zones/city zones for the horde and alliance were completely done, 1 (maybe 2 cant remember what the people testing them said) of the dungeons are done, and then we saw from screenshots that most of the other zones are a good deal of the way done.
theres still a good bit to get done but i dont think a goal for summer is that absurd

more work in the end yes, but part of the time that a new race takes isnt in the work itself but in ideas. all the models need alot of work but all the reference is still there, theyre updating not changing so that makes it easier, for a new race they have to decide how that race is going to move, how they are going to look, what dance they are going to do, voice overs, starting zones.
so while more work work, less thought work.

Will stay subbed for another couple of months to do the normal pre-expansion prep work, after i've got my gear maxed out i can't see antyhing else for me to do thats worth the £9/month price tag.
There are no new classes, and no big class revamps as there were in Cata and MoP. This will save the dev team a lot of time.
I SEVERELY doubt that it'll be a year. ICC was basically a year and the game somehow survived, but I do not see that happening again. There will be no patch 5.5, no "Ruby Sanctum" so to speak to stall things. MoP was 21 months after Cataclysm which is the shortest time between expansions. They said they wanted them out faster, and while they didn't hit the 18 month mark they hoped for, they DID get it out faster than before. I have no reason to believe, especially after saying all production is on WoD as there will be no 5.5, that it will take a year. Assuming another 21 month span (I doubt Blizzard will ever get it down to 18), WoD would be released in June. 9 months should always be expected between the final raid patch and x.0. It has always been that way.
I think we are used to rushing through content as soon as it becomes available, and even before with all the datamining we already know practically everything before any new content hits. That greatly reduces our enjoyment but that's another story I guess
Release 5.5: OMG WoD is going to take ages, hurry up BLIZZ!
No 5.5: OMG what are we supposed to do till WoD comes out??
MFW: @_@
Not like we would get out of WoD if there was a patch 5.5

amazing that most people in this poll are content with no new content, you got to demand more if you want more.
It's not a "betrayal" or a hating attitude, to just say "this is not okay". you can love a game, yet be critical of it.
