See, people like this guy are the reason why they are dumming the game down. If he can't read patch notes, you can't expect him to play complex game. Read 10 pages of these replies and you will see why they have to do these changes. Because 90% of people who play this game have apple-sized brains.
You can still do normal battlegrounds.
You can still do normal arena.
You can still do 10-man raids.
Your guild will still progress, you just won't have to choose how. (In fact this will help clearing up guild dramas over I WANT EXP / BUT I WANT MORE MONEY)
Archeology is still in game.
3000 new quests are still in game.
All the zones are still being redone.
There are still flying mounts in Azeroth.
There are still new raids in Azeroth.
There are still new dungeons in Azeroth.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT'S A F*CKING APLHA. IT'S THERE TO TEST THE CHANGES.
