I've never been one to roll the new class or jump right on the bandwagon. I leveled a DK in Wrath during ICC so that I could have an alchemist and they started at 55. I leveled a Monk because my guild needed one right before ToT came out. I love my monk, but not because he was new and exciting, but because it was needed. I've also never been one for alts, I generally have 1 that I play at any time, but spend most of my time on my main.
I'm seeing a lot people complaining about this new expansion because we're not getting a new race or new class. THERE ARE 108 CLASS/RACE COMBINATIONS! 5 kinds of tanks, 5 kinds of healers, 6 kinds of ranged, 7 kinds of melee. 13 classes. Do we really need another class or race to add to the options?
Is the QQ over lack of race/class simply because that's what we've gotten with every expansion? Or is there really a need for a new class?
I simply don't understand where its coming from or why its needed. I'd much rather them spend all their time on other things than trying to balance a new class which I can only imagine takes a huge chunk of R&D time.
