Never.
Blizzard doesn't have the will or capability to release 1 expansion per year.
Unless they rename a patch as expansion and ask for $45 for it instead of giving it as a free download.
100% sure need to keep the sub numbers up
Dont forget you need be entertained
We are on the cusp of 5.3 and if they keep with their time tables that means 5.4 in about 4 months, which puts us firmly in September, and that content should last 6 months (5.2 content will last 2 months for 5.3 and 4 months for 5.4) and that puts us firmly into January, so no the next expansion won't happen in 2013.
I love all you guys who come and bitch about how the raids suck, If I track all your posts you always say that everything blizzard does sucks so you really are incapable of making any other decision. Yeah Tortos was annoying but every raid tier has a bad boss in it, it doesn't make it all bad. That and raid participation does not = quality of the raids. Raid participation = Raid participation. Thats like saying there are less drivers on the road due to carpooling and saying that it's because cars suck. You are drawing conclusions based on your own biased interpretation.
I've listened to interviews with hardcore world first raiders and they unanimously say this is the best raid tier yet with the exception of tortos.
Who cares what hardcore world first raiders think?
They are less than 1%, most likely less than 0,1% of the player base..
This have NOTHING to do with the difficulty, but the mechanics of the fights and the art-design of the instance and mobs...
ToT sucks, on a level comparable to ToC, and Blizzard promised something in the league of Ulduar/Karazhan..
I think most people would rather do 1 year of ICC or DS again, if it would end the ToT drag..

"Who cares what interviews and polls say, those are biased. Here's what I think..."
How do you people not suffocate on all this ill-informed irony?
I'm expecting March-April next year.
5.3 will be out over the next two weeks.
3-4 months until 5.4
That's like August-ish.
August to March is 8 months.
Blizzard did say they expect less subs at the end of the year than now. That right there confirms that 5.0 won't be out this year. Especially because Blizzcon isn't until October/November.

Yeah. So... it's not.
It has some of the best designed bosses in a raid.
Linear is nothing unexpected.
People would have to do the raid in order to hate it.
The stats on a non-Blizzard run website aren't exactly the best used evidence to hate on a raid.
We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.
Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
You must be trolling, because the answer is 'nearly every single raider'. Why do you think people care about World Firsts?
You're free to your opinion. But having a fit because no-one agrees with you makes you look like a jackass, and making stuff up to back yourself up just makes you look desperate.
Popular opinion says Throne of Thunder is a very good raid. Not the best ever, but the best we've had in several years.
I'm not having a fit.. But think again.. The only ones that care about world firsts (except themselves), are the die-hard fanbois, and we all know, that fanbois are a sad excuse for players.. They live of the glory of OTHER players, where the rest of us make our own fortune..
All in all... Only a minescule percentage (most likely far less than 1%) care for world firsts...
Is YOUR oppinion the popular oppinion then? Can't be, because I don't see you as a part of the majority..
I personally don't know anyone who thinks ToT is a good raid..

I guess Q3 2014, since 5.3 is coming soonish and 5.4 hopily before chrismas. :P
World of Warcraft: The Return of the Titans
Everything is wiped off of Azeroth by the Titans. Since this includes our characters, Blizzard instead gives us their development tools where we create our own expansion.
I could see this being released within the next year. I assume they will need to work on class balance and integrate a micro-transaction system first.
Guessing 5.3 in 1-2 weeks.
Guessing 5.4 in august-ish.
Guessing 6.0 or 5.5 in nov/december, holding new systems and expansion transition content (something better than the fall of Theramore)
Guessing new expansion in jan/feb 2014. There is always some delays
Non-discipline 2006-2019, not supporting the company any longer. Also: fails.
