...has been removed

[Jaylock]

Looks like the Blizz developers are removing a lot more than they are adding in WoD. It makes you wonder, what are they really adding to the game in terms of depth and gameplay? A lot of the patch notes indicate that character classes are going to be even more homogenized than they already are. Its sad to see that Blizzard thinks a game where even a caveman can do it is where it needs to be to make that $$$. Its also insulting to smart players out there because its basically saying: "you are too stupid to handle any complex sort of rotation, and therefore we need to dumb it down to monkey status for you to play correctly." This is what infuriates me about the development direction Blizzard has taken their cash cow in recent years.

I think that you're purposely creating a thread with no context on any of the changes just to jab Blizzard as much as possible while referring to WoW with the classic flamebait "cash cow" term.

There is nothing constructive in this thread and all and it would go nowhere useful.
