What's even the point to replace titans by another force of order that is at the origin of every other energy? It only makes the world more homogeneous and too rational and that's incredibly boring. You don't need the first ones to present Aman'thul as a manipulative entity, you just need to have him use his time powers to pretend he was the first and create time paradoxes just to make himself look better.
This is not parroting, this is facts and physical proof. If you have an issue with that then it's a personal problem. It does not make any logical sense for them to add a new class so soon. The balancing is already complicated as it is.
I could see new specs being added in the future 100% in the new expansion but a whole class again is just too soon.
Shadowlands also came out at a weird time and was a very weird expansion in terms of its setting and lore that didn't much sense with the jailer and all that. So thematically speaking there was not much else they could of done class wise. Blizzard usually adds a new class when it makes sense thematically.
Demon Hunters were a big part of the story in Legion with Illidan and all so it made sense.
Pandaria introduced the padaren race and the whole easterized thing made sense for a monk.
Dragonflight has the dragon aspects so of course a new race and class also made logical sense
The next expansion seems to lean heavily on elemental and titan stuff (if the ingame lore books are anything to go off), so a new race I could possibly see.
We already have an elemental class and that is Shaman. If anything I could maybe see them adding new spec and with elemental stuff to existing classes to experience new ways to play.
The only other possibility I see is a Runemaster or some sort of a Titan class, but as I said I am not sure if Blizzard would do it this soon.
What makes you think it's not as believable? Keep in mind that original drafts for the story/expansions shift and change over time. There's enough of a foundation here for it to be totally believable. There's no way a random would pull all of that out of thin air even with lucky guess-work with what we knew in 2019.
Keep in mind the early leak of the Shadowlands map that ended up being completely different to what we ended up with.

the first riddle for 11.0 will be found on page 1418
4:27 pg2312
The riddle was found in the shaper of worlds. For your next quest, find the fourth in the fourth, who may point you further.
5:16 pg2316
Knowledge of Warcraft is essential, the last clue may be too difficult for some. Y, C, Y, N, are the four.
5:29 pg2317
Giving you runes made it easy. The fourth god in the fourth war, he will be involved, but you already known. Your location already known: Khaz Algar. The Shaper of Worlds detailed your plot. What can you discover new? class or race? Now the 1st, 18th, and 20th, will give you some runes, the rest you will have to fill in. Use two of your eyes.
6:19 pg 2322
ART is correct, now use your eyes. The race will come next.
7:02 pg 2327
“ARTificer?”
You discovered your class... now about your race? Your first step: Go to the storm.
7:09 pg2328
The Stormpeaks are home of the Stormforged Artificer, both steps have been solved, but Stormforged Iron Dwarf is not your race. The Earthen of Khaz Algar, based on them. You got your plot, your continent, your race, your class, but what about systems?
7:11 pg2329
It is time for me to sleep, and will let you think before my return, your revamped world is not just a hope.

Hello fellow robots. I return for your next riddle. Your world will be revamped, with your Earthen Artificer, but what system can you find in 64 72 61 67 6f 6e 62 6c 69 67 68 74 (Dragonblight)
12:28pm pg2380
Artificer for all races. Path of the titans is your system. Perhaps last one was too easy.
lets make this a little harder

(Image is reupload of K’aresh fan art from 10 years ago – steganography revealed a link to a reddit post about removing transmog restrictions)
1:11 pg2386
You solved the riddle, i tried a little harder, but am not good with them. You have Khaz Algar, Titanforged Earthen Artificers, Void involved, Path of the Titans, World Revamp, and Transmog all armor types.
1:19 pg2389
Yes it is true,Quel'thalas and Draenei islands become part of kalimdor and eastern kingdoms. No loading screens.
He would've mentioned a dragon class if this was actually legit. They talked about how Dracthyr/Evoker was on the table the moment they decided on a dragon expansion because of the perfect fit for a new caster, there is absolutely no way they worked on Tinker before they started working on Evoker.
You are telling me that they didn't have 8.3 planned by 8.2? That post was made a week before 8.2 came out. None of the BFA stuff he is talking about happens yet he seems really really confident about that stuff, and all the future stuff is so vague, that yeah, it kinda makes sense. We all knew a Shadowlands expansion was gonna happen eventually, and Dragon Isles was mentioned and was a hot topic at that point.
None of the other things match up in any way.
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
