    5.2 Thunder King
    5.3 Some minor patch without raid
    5.4 Garrosh raid
    5.5 Maybe some filler like Ruby Sanctum. but maybe not

    Why? Why cant this be the expansion that they finally get right? Im not saying your wrong, but I dont like you stating it as a fact.

    I kinda agree with Chickat, Dokhidamo.

    Your predictions aren't always right.

    Siege may only be 7 or 8 months, and even if it's around 10 months, I think the content's going to be gated.

    Guys, its kinda clear. They are goin to pull a Sunwell, they already have planned for a raid AFTER Garrosh. Look and read carefully to what Blizzard says on the front page. Wrathion is giveing you a legendary for something thats goin to come AFTER you defeat Tier 16 (which could be Siege?) Something big is cooking, the legendary that he is giveing you and you are working for at this momment is not for Garrosh is for something far worst than him. Remember when Wrathion said in the first legendary that what Garrosh did is nothing compared to the horrors that are coming? The hits are there, you decide if you want to belive them or not.

    Im not saying is a FACT, im saying that the Hints have been delivered and on our faces all along, they have the pieces in place for what ever is that is coming and Wrathion has made sure that you know it from the start. And what ever it is, doesnt have to be introduced in the next xpac, but on the last Raid of this Expac.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of SoO as a questing event in 5.3, but Garrosh himself and some of his cronies escape (possibly to Pandaria?), then we see a raid with him bringing out all possible sha nasties in 5.4.

    I'm glad someone noticed that, I already said it few pages ago, but nobody picked up the subject. He will give us legendary item in 5.4 so probably we will have to kill Garrosh, loot something from him and bring back to Wrathion so he could make a legendary. So what would be a point if he was our main target, we wouldnt need that legendary since we already killed him, and he specifically saying he will give us this item to prepare for incoming major threat.

    I have the strangest feeling, Wraithon is the final threat. I dont know why, but if you follow any types of books,movies, etc...One villian gets rid of all his threats, only to become the MAIN THREAT himself. Just a hunch.

    Nice idea. I like it but Wrathion hasn't made Garrosh the villain however, Garrosh did it himself. Wrathion hasn't really had us get rid of villains anyway. Although Im basing an opinion off your statement. The raid could be just Wrathion as a "test" to see if we are ready to face the uncoming storm. We beat him, we are ready..if not..then we are dead.

    The expansions have been averaging 26 months approx. With Bc being the shortest expansion (22 months) and Cataclysm being the longest ( 33 months). Unless this is a very short expansion compared to the others; there should be 2 more raid tiers because the next expansion is due in about 20 months.

    Actually, he has in Cata. Doing the Rogue legendary quests, we had to kill off members of the remaining Black Dragonflight, Deathwing being his father.
    Wrathion didnt make his father a villain either, Deathwing did it to himself. Same crap, different toilet.
    If you read the lore about Black Dragonflight, past and present, this sounds exactly what Wrathion is doing. Building himself up to be the ultimate power.

    What? Cataclysm was by far the shortest with only 20 months. Wrath was the longest with 26.
    Hope Mists lasts at least 24 months, with 12 of them spent in 5.4, same as Wrath basically.

    This makes sense, given the foreshadowing. Although, all the legendaries weren't assembled before the final tier, this makes a lot of sense based on the dialogue. Wrathion knows a lot more than what he leads us to believe, hopefully everything is cleared up in 5.3.

    Sorry, meant to quote Nemro.

    Were actually not assembling any Legendaries yet, we're just getting gems and a socket. IF Wrathion does become the final boss, Maybe Varian and whoever is the Horde leader, will give us the FINAL and ACTUAL legendary to kill him off. Just speculation.

    Judging by the times Blizz dishes out content, I think 5.4 will not be the last patch. I think 5.6 will be the final patch, who knows what other stories Pandaria hides, and if we won't visit the old world for some new content in the mean time, or even space (the nether).

    If it all comes down to an old god, maybe we will see some Titan intervention, maybe they finally found out we are refusing the purge.

    (this is all just speculation)

    He even refers to Deathwing as 'misguided,' but still someone who originally wanted to make Azeroth safe.

    Soo 5.2 has no item upgrade, going on that route i can assume that there are no item upgrades because heroic upgraded 5.2 items would be as good as heroic siege of orgrimmar non-upgraded items... and im pretty sure i am right, soo this means mop is going after all on cataclysm model.
    5.2 - throne of the thunderking raid.
    5.3 - PRE-SOO HARD 5mans. like icc 5man and HoT pre DS dungeons only HARD
    5.4 - SOO raid.

    Well as I'm looking at dates, it looks like they won't get it right.

    I highly doubt an expansion in alpha testing can be kept secret, so I doubt they'd start testing it until after the reveal. Which sets up at best a March launch (August Blizzcon) but more likely a July-September launch (October Blizzcon).

    I'll have a better guess on which route we're going when Blizz reveals the Blizzcon dates, which rumors say could be as soon as this Friday.

    Well it could be there's a mystery third raid in there. Your argument would still stand in that situation. Since it seems upgraded gear is at least on par with normal drops in ToT.

    cuz blizzard has stated few times that they want to make expansion shorter and based of the legendary questline

    Shorter is in perspective. Cata seemed to drag on forever because it had 3 tiers, one of which lasted 10 months.

    If MoP was the same length as Cata, but had 4 tiers, it would feel a great deal shorter.

    You're correct, I should have said receive. I was just pointing out that players have received legendaries during different points in the past, so just because the quest line is over, and we've possibly received legendaries, there still could be a raid afterwards. It can go both ways. I'd personally like to see another raid tier before SoO, old god/Titan related. The events of that raid could lead to Garrosh's final sin that forces everyone against him. Wishful thinking surely, but the lore in 5.2 really has me hoping we get explore the depths of Pandaria.
