Yes, it is a common trope in genre fiction for heroes and villains to switch sides as eventually you just burn people out if you do nothing but maintain the status quo. I am saying two things about Blizzard in this thread, one that they're running out of ideas and two that they've painted them self in a corner where they really gotta shake things up by the end/before the next xpac to keep things fresh. It would be fairly difficult to continue the game moving forward if all they did was maintain the status quo.
I don't think just killing off more faction leaders/big lore characters would be enough, so I bet Blizzard will do something that will really shake WOW to it's foundations.

This is a really good point that I think people should really consider.

Thank you. I've had people flip out on me on this board for posting about a popular add on that I think Blizzard should disable.
I mean people outright harassing and flaming me here and I'm not even phased by it. : \
Although I do think the rules are the rules an the mods ought to enforce them 100% the same in every situation.
