For all of you hoping for cross faction, you guys really forgot what world of warcraft is about..
Remember when shamans where horde only and paladins alliance only.
We used to gank eachother in front of instance portals without the possibility to just fly away.
Where is the hate!! sissies!
ORCS FTW, FOR THE HORDE AND FOR HELLSCREAM!
I still think with the Horde vs. Alliance theme, the struggle over Pandaria will spread to Azeroth. I see there being Raid Scenarios where you raid a capital. Who knows, it could even be in the actual world where people in the cities will be caught in the conflict even if they didn't queue. Imagine a Horde zeppelin flying into Stormwind or an Alliance gunship gliding over Orgimar once per day.
player housing together with a revolutionised inventory system that allows you to keep whole sets of gear in your inventory, maybe together with fun items and tabards in a separate tab like mounts or pets
Blizzard adds Ventrilo into the wow interface to replace the native voice chat.
Another big change, could be something as simple as tabard storage or a dyeing system for gear.
But I hope it's player models.
I think the surprise is that Galleon will spawn during the day!
Biggest "feature" WoW should get right now is a new Dev. team. This team shit on the game enough I would say, a change in that might bring the game up a bit.
Something expectable I suppose.
Cross realm auctionhouse
Cross realm guilds
Cross realm uhh chat?
Would not surprise me if they just keep holding up a farce and the servers are already merged to a single one, with occasional "overflow server" popping up zones if needed just like instances have been before. But they sell the introduction of the reworked game mechanics piece by piece as major content updates over years.
I see some people mentioned the downscaling of stats in order to do old content like it was when it was relevant. In my deep meditation in the shower I expanded upon that idea, and bear in mind this was just brainstorming:
What if Blizzard downscaled stats so you could do old heroics?
This could be implemented into LFD, giving you another way to cap valor.
The way I see it you could queue for either MOP, cata, wotlk or BC heroics, where you could choose to do either specific ones or randoms, where randoms would give you VP.
As for gear from these old heroics, I wouldn't really count on scaling the stats up on the older gear to make it useful, but blizzard could implement achievements, pets, mounts or what have you. Also, this gives you a way to cap VP with a wide variety of heroics to do, if you acctually don't need the gear from MOP heroics.
While I personally think something like this would be cool, I don't really think it'll be implemented. I'm also aware that I haven't quite fleshed out the idea, but maybe someone could expand on this idea?
EDIT: Could also add challenge modes for these
