They are not talking about the month of release. But the track of the past development cycles. They never said the last few expansions launched in November. You can go back and re-read their words. Track record as in X time for Alpha. Y time for Beta. Z time for pre-patch. We can follow that track to predict the launch window of the current expansion.

Wrong. There are definitely other ways of reading this, with a small bit of common sense and some critical thinking. You're just interpreting what was said incorrectly.
Anyone can look and see that the last two expansions did not release in November, and that clearly, that's not what the person you quoted was trying to imply.
If you misunderstood, you could've asked, or rethought your position after receiving the clarification that you did, and the honest, harmless flub would've likely just fallen by the wayside. At this point, you're just making a fool of yourself. Stop.
Uldir opened on September 4th (Expansion launched August 14th for comparison). So they can easily just delay the raid opening until January. It might suck for those that still play heavily during the holidays to have to wait a month or two for raiding and cause some burn out with early world content.

Yeah i think the best solution if this scenario presents itself is to launch the prepatch late November / early December, and hold off on raiding if it isn't quite ready. For those who play a lot over the break, at least they can try the new classes out, the new leveling experience, and the unlocked allied races. I would FAR prefer this over "take it as is, balance is terrible, classes are unfinished, but we will totally fix all that in 9.1, promise!"
I don't think that would go over well. If torghast is the only difficult content to people will burn out on it far too early and the centerpiece of the expansion will turn into another hated piece of content.
I don't see them delaying any more than the usual 3 weeks.

I mean, you really think it would be different after another few weeks? If they plan for release Nov 17 but can't until dec 1 do you really think anything would change?
In that scenario? Maybe. However thats 2 weeks, what if it was three like you suggested? Now its 8th December - you think they will launch raids on xmas day? What if it is the first of December - 2-3 weeks before raid launch still puts it very close to xmas. I dont see them releasing raids within 2 weeks of xmas personally.
Its funny to read people talking about this stuff like they're working at blizzard
Either Dec 1 or 8th is bad for the game imo. You're talking not seeing season 1 until the second week of Jan. 6 weeks for the 1st, 5 weeks for the 8th, that's never happen before and won't be received well.
No arenas, no m+, no raids. Just nothing but torghast after torghast
Shit, sorry. hang on.....um....
You are wrong and here are 17 out of context quotes from chinese fan sites proving why you are wrong! Also, back in 2005, when talking about a completely different game, this is what Blizzard had to say: "Bla bla out of context quote from well over a decade ago bla bla"
There! Take THAT! Also, logical fallacy bla bla Strawman Bla im right you are wrong, and i am so confident of this fact that i wont be replying anymore!
/Thread!
But yeah, those dates really do seem the most likely - it will be a while before we know more i suspect, but it seems extremely doubtful it will be released "early", because one thing people seem to forget is that everyone has a different environment at home - i have 2 young kids, so working from home during our lockdown lasted about 2 days before i gave up and just waited it out. Im confident some of the team are finding it extremely challenging, depending on their living situation.
Does that mean it will be delayed by months and months? Not necessarily, but i certainly doubt they are making fast progress.
