Indeed, if there will be leaks I will see them for sure. Just like if there is a hole in the wrapping my christmas presants I would look through it without opening it.
In before Blizzard didn't trademark because Mists of Pandaria was final expansion
Id probably just grab the closest spoon and dig my eyes out.
I'd LIKE to think that about the Naga too... but these are WoW players, and lets not forget the die-hard BC Players who literally just keep shouting "MOAR DEMONS" as if that somehow fixes everything...
But I digress - i'm actually 50/50 between my two points. I remember a while ago they showed that new "sack" that was datamined that seemed like a LFD/LFR bag, and it was something like "Cosmic" or whatever... maybe it's a Titan expansion and they didn't want ANY Naga/Demon preconceptions to materialize for fear of disappointment? /shrug
So a friend of mine send me this link: http://tanpa-wates.blogspot.de/
he said there would be some tiny leaks in it, but I don't really get it :x
I really hope there will be no leaks till BlizzCon.
That would be somewhat comparable to the new Nephalem Trials in Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
The lack of leaks is driving me crazy as well, but it also speaks to how satisfied I am with the game right now. WoW is more fun for me now than it has ever been, and as a result I'm looking forward to the next expansion more than ever. I've been reading these forums more often lately, and all of the wild speculation is the only thing that can keep my brain occupied until the actual announcement.
Why not? MoP was plenty dark if you looked any deeper than "lol, pandas". I actually liked MoP a great deal more than Cataclysm, I can't really compare it to Wrath because nostalgia and TBC because I mostly leveled in TBC.no.... that's what MoP was and I want to get back to business asap. I cant stand this expansion =[
I think its two fold as to why we haven't seen much. One i think blizz has got alot better at hiding copyrights when they really want too and cutting back on leaks. Secondly i think most of the major sites that may have sources or info they have been able to verify wont show it do to not wanting to PO blizzard risking facing legal threats and being cut off in the future from going to press events.
I would bet some of the higher ups at curse or MMO know something but wont post it.
I didn't really like MoP either and I couldn't really put my finger on it. The zones are beautiful, monks are fun to play, raid content is solid, been wanting Pandaria/Pandaren in game since forever, etc.
I think it comes down to solo content versus group content. The world bosses were good, they should have added onto that concept and added dynamic world events. Questing was overall pretty dull with a handful of questline exceptions, dialogue between Varian and Anduin was over the top cheesy. Too much solo content--I don't play an MMO so I can do dailies and things by myself. SOME content is fine, removing group quests for dailies, brawler's guild, farmville, pet battles and proving grounds was too much solo player content imo (although pet battles aren't exclusively solo content). Farmville was an OK concept, just because it made cooking a bit more interesting. Pet battles weren't that interesting to me.
ToT was annoying to me because it was a troll raid and after Cata I could have waited another 2-3 expansions for more troll content after Cata. Pandaren models weren't what I was hoping for, they were more goofy looking than anything...you can make pandas look a bit darker/cooler looking than that.
SoO and the buildup to SoO/Garrosh was great. Blizzard learned from their mistakes with Cataclysm/Deathwing and they deserve some credit for that.

Hey, there was that dragon mount from the Blizzard store! :P
In any case, if it's not Emerald Dream I won't be too disappointed. I'm expecting something South Seas/Emerald Dream/Burning Legion related, but if it's not then w/e.
