    Your thoughts, does it seem believable?

    No. They mention console ports.

    Fake af.

    What's with the metric fuckton of new accounts posting one-line topics or just a single link?

    About as real as the post about how the Battle for Lordaeron would be retconned to be hastily edited and Ozumat would be the last boss of the Azshara raid. Which is to say, not at all.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

    The whole thing was a bunch of rubbish lol Why do people think that the likes of Tinkers or Neutrality will come into the fold.

    Does not seem believable for many reasons, although there are some points that would be very interesting.
    Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

    Fake.

    Blizzard says they have these things planned out two to three expansions in advance. ..That's pretty clearly a face-saving lie.

    And if they don't know what 9.0 will hold, then this rando certainly doesn't.

    ..Also, that most / all of the stuff he's saying are things the fanbase have been asking for. He just knows how to feed people what they want to hear.

    Honestly they make a few points that do sound really interesting but too much is just too damn ridiculous to be taken seriously at all.

    1)AU Garrosh being raised by Yrel's Lightbound, as undead - da fuq?
    2) They repeatedly fail to include Zandalari and Kul'Tiran druids, something we already know to be real.
    3) K'aresh being 9.0 - despite the fact we know it's been olbiterated, and the supposed reason for us going there is to steal the planet's life force.... seriously? How can someone be this inconsistent?
    4) Prestige classes won't happen as it will make the gameplay an even bigger nightmare to balance. Plus Mage's prestiging into Tinkers? C'mon now.

    Honestly when they were talking some partial old-world revamps like Gilneas - I almost wanted to take the bait but... yeah. Far too much garbage fan-fiction.

    1) War Council
    2) Console Meme
    3)K'aresh meme
    4) No Kul'tiran Druid
    5) AU Garrosh existing
    6) Tinkers being "mage flavor" but only for Goblins and Gnomes
    7) Neutrality
    8) Corrupted Malfurion

    I mean, there's a lot more garbage in there, but at this point, as they say on /v/: fake and gay

    It does not seem believeable, no. Though I would like a LOT of the stuff this guy is throwing out.

    Necromancer reskin of Warlock? Gimme!
    When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.

    "shapeshifting cat trolls like you saw on ZG" Isn't that what the druids we got in cata are? Also, wouldn't you just call them Gurubashi? Sorry, I don't see it.

    I like how the poster is like pretending for the most part to write diplomatic and with the typical blue post authority while at the same time is supposedly going full rogue and risking not only his job but even legal trouble, like if they'd care how his manners were while leaking.

    But no worries, it's fakey fake. Someone claims to be blizz employee and goes on a headcannon powertrip when gullible people believe him. Nothing new.

    Like most of these "leak" type releases, this begins with a possible or plausible set of events and rapidly descends into either blatant fanservice or sheer craziness. Some good ideas in there, interspersed with what the author or authors either want or thinks other people want.
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    Not even a good fake

    - Naga already overlap with Hindu themes. No need to create a new culture on Hiji for that
    - Tigon from ZG makes zero sense
    - Wrathion manipulating Sylvanas (lul)
    - Flavor Classes - Kirin Tor Knight (also lul)
