I am majorly laughing out what a major waste of time this thread is. Blizzard does not have any majorly control over what I say or do.

So you are saying that your car salesman should be saying "Yes, we have a 2012 model that is slightly better than the last one, not much of an improvement really".
Ignoring the fact their use of the term "Major patch" for patches X.X (which is very relevant, but you're more worried about the adjective major and why they are using it), why would they put in a PTR if it was as you say, "fluff "content.""?
Also, are you really getting annoyed at them trying to deliver content faster?
Do you have any extra tinfoil?
I never called anything fluff. I understand that anyone who has something to peddle is going to do everything in their power to sell it, obviously dressing things up a little bit through wording is one way to do that. My thing is that I have never in the past seen Blizzard resort to such blatant use of propaganda to sell their product.

You conveniently forgot to also highlight the word "glimpse", ie, this is far from all of what 5.1 is bringing. In other words, you're acting like sex sucks because you happened to see a girl changing clothes with her blinds open. See? Getting a glimpse of something is not the same as getting the whole thing mate.
So basically, think you can try hold off crying about the patch until we actually know what it's bringing? Maybe once you get more than a glimpse you'll find it a lot more enjoyable.
Not sure if that's subtle sarcasm or not....
If not, well we HAVE been remembering history and it shows us that every Major patch which has taken 6+ months to come out has always included A RAID ... This patch does not include a Raid and will be 3-4 months MAX, I'd say 100% it'll be out before the year is up.
Also to the OP: Seriously get a Grip, yes it's not a "Massive Patch" with a proper raid, but it's still a 'Major Update'. You use the Car analogy but what you forget is that even though the 2013 Model of a Car might only increase Fuel Economy, the Engineers are probably working on the next big thing and 2014 or 2015 models might have insane improvements and so of course a Salesmen is going to want to talk up his Product to sellout of the 2013. Blizzard is no different, they've got a raid on the way, which will HOPEFULLY be good and this is just a inbetween patch to progress the story. They are simply talking it up, like every PR department does.
I guess because I feel they are being deceptive. I do understand they need to sell their product. It just just seems like they are leading the playerbase into a false mindset of expectations for WoW, trying to put out as little content as possible but sell it as something big. And yes I realize that is how most companies work, but I don't have to like it.

You have got to be kidding me. Perhaps they are calling it MAJOR because of the MAJOR amount of work that will have to go into this patch, or perhaps it's because they are adding NEW things never before added into the game.
That is one big chance. Do you know the amount of work it takes just in coding to make something like this possible? That's new content too, new gear/rewards. It's fairly major.Brawler’s Guild
Underground fighting rings have sprung up in Stormwind and Orgrimmar that will give brawlers a chance to earn bragging rights by testing their solo PvE mettle against some of the toughest creatures found in World of Warcraft. The first rule of brawls is you don’t talk about brawls. The second rule…
Something else we have never been able to do before therefore NEW feature.Item Upgrades
You will be able to spend Valor Points to improve the item level and quality of gear you already own.
I am only going to hit on these two because if you can't see that new dailies are going to add new content ect. then I am sorry you are beyond help. Who cares they used MAJOR twice in the post.
People are calling you a hater because it's obvious you are.
GW2 Sig Check.
Making ridiculous threads about how Blizzard is screwing people. Check
Calling people fanboi's when they tell you this is silly. Check.
Most of the list of being a hater is there. I mean damn dude, who cares? If it's not major let the players decide that when it comes out, there is no reason to run around screaming the sky is pooping on us without there being a cloud in the sky.

Yeah thats my point. No needs me to tell them the patch sucks, and no needs Blizzard to tell them the patch will be amazing. How about players just decide based on the actual features in the patch, not on the marketing PR Blizzard spews out.
And if you read my post history you will see i'm not really much of a GW2 fan, to say the least.

People is really stupid to pick on something pointless as this. Really OP you don't have aything better to do than this?
