    It makes a lot more sense to compare it to when previous content was released than the actual expansion announcement.

    Previous content is a good pointer for long they actually worked on the expansion, the announcement is just an arbitrary time when they chose to tell us.
    My addons:
    Announce Interrupts: Announces in chat when you interrupt a spell.
    Tol Barad Reminder: Reminds you to queue for Tol Barad by printing a message when the battle is approaching.
    EasyLogger: Turns on /combatlog inside raid instances, and off outside.
    Simple class resource bars: Paladin Rogue Shaman Monk Priest

    It's a pretty big joke. They serve 7 million people (or whatever the number is). They treat the game as if it's for 500k people.
    You have tasks for people to do, so hire them. Everything they claim to want to do but will take more time off other projects... get people to do this stuff.


    Easy reason why this game is going downhill, they're on cruise control at this point until Titan.

    They're currently expanding the WoW team by 40% and plan to expand it by 40% again very soon.

    It's not like hiring a cleaner, they only want to bring in people who can provide content at the level they want so they can't just throw in a bunch of randomers into the WoW team

    My personal opinion, last MoP patch just could not keep me running for more than 2 weeks because of it's pure boringness.



    In some sort of perspective, yeah I am very excited for Warlord to come out

    If it turns out to be a year, then that will be one boring year, then again I wont care either way.

    You call that fine? I think it was 10 months though.

    No 5.4 means it'll be out much sooner than a year from now.
    They're probably shooting for April.

    MoP Beta started in January and the game was released in September. They said they are releasing faster so I would guess June-August. .

    not that bad if you compare it to the other expansions end content.

    No 5.5 = next expact gets rolled out sooner, at least according to the interview in Blizzcon

    They will most definitely pull it out in Spring, early Summer the latest.

    ActiBlizz are not dumb, they know that any more than that and a lot of precious subs will be wasted. They can prance around all they want with their "when it's done", but I am sure they have some very strict deadlines going on there internally.

    WoD please. I don't mind no new content, but then speed the game up.

I wish we could just up and erase all theorycrafting and betas and things like that for good.
    Might be true at some point, but the hardcore community used guides and theorycraft in vanilla already. With the release failures with BWL (BugWingLair) and AQ in some way (C'Tun unkillable until fix) they agreed Testing is needed and every "surprise" boss suffered from not been tested enough (Sinestra &Dark Simulacrum) and the "Really Hard" Ra-Den most recently.

    The thing that kept people busy was the "no catch-up" system policy that forced everyone through progress of all Raids from begining and lenghtening content in that way. If MoP and Cata didnt had LFR or Valor Vendors the new leveled people would need to start from beginning and maybe didnt finish SoO or even ToT in time of WoD release (expected). If you grind some coins and run ToT LFR and than SoO LFR/Flex you have SoO ready Char in maybe 2 weeks?

    Also, figuring out tactic and build functional strategy can be done by serious theorycrafters (with videos and logs) in matter of hours....so if you erase it, it will be complete in week at most.

    One of the best comments that shows the current mentality. You guys deserve 24 months of non-stop killing SoO trash & bosses again and again. Ad nauseam.

    Sigh.

    Lol, where in the world do you people come up with this stuff?

    Reposting for relevancy:

    Courtesy of: http://www.wowwiki.com/Timeline_%28World_of_Warcraft%29

    Nov 23, 2004 - WoW Launch.
    Jan 16, 2007 - BC Launch.
    Nov 13, 2008 - Wrath Launch.
    Dec 7, 2010 - Cata Launch.
    Sept 25, 2012 - MoP Launch.

    With the exception of BC, likely because Blizzard was still a "when it's ready" company then, every single release has been in Fall or right on Fall's doorstep for the holiday season. People were saying "Spring release, definitely!" for both Cata and MoP, and here they are, saying it again for WoD. I'll see you guys in WoD in Sept.
    If you haven't noticed... Blizzard LOVES fall/winter/holiday releases with WoW. Not a chance in the world WoD is going to be out in Spring/Summer, especially when beta hasn't even started, especially when they know the players will handle 12 months of one tier and still buy the next expansion.

    Yes. Pandaria sucks, I want the new expansion sooner rather than later.
