FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.
I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.
Is it going away after this expansion though? I goddamn well hope so!!!
People throwing "mistake" around a lot in here. That implies they intended to do something but made a blunder when doing so. The reality is probably that a lot less effort was intentionally put into Argus showing in the sky than people are making out.
I didn't know the thing with the portal. I thought he pulled the planet towards Azeroth. That shit is never explained.
Actually, it might have been as you said - the whole planet was "portaled" and the portal was closed. I imagine that if we saw Argus through the portal then we would see the portal itself and the space around Argus as well. Note that on the screens from Argus (http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/...TR-Build-24473) you can't see the portal anywhere either.
Or, as Trickname suggested, Blizzard simply didn't think too much about it and "forgot" to draw the portal.

And the portal could have been created big enough and "moved over" the planet.

No, it's an open portal. Otherwise tidal forces would be ripping Argus and Azeroth apart right now. If they don't collide first.
The portal itself isn't visible, but he is never shown closing it, and nobody does anything to bring Argus through.
If you can see it, your eye receives electromagnetic field oscillations - a light, photons. It would be reasonable to presume that gravity also passed through the portal the same way. With that effective distance between the two planets the tidal force should be huge, resulting in a tearing apart the Azeroth's planet crust. Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis. GG Azeroth.
That was the KJ's secret plan. Good job Illidan.
I think you are trying to apply too much real world physics to a fantasy world ruled by magic.
The portal is visible, you can see it pretty well on the cinematic. Of course we can assume that it grew so big that it's taking the whole sky so everything we see up there is the Argus' space.
Until blizzard confirms one of the versions we can only speculate.

You're all literally arguing about two .png files overlapping. There's no reason for it, it just happens because of the way the skybox works, they probably would never overlap if they recoded the whole thing from scratch but since Argus probably won't stick around in the skybox post 7.3, there was no reason to do anything but attach a png file.
