No one will make me believe that panadas are more childish than star wars.

Maybe you never played KOTOR, I dunno. Sure there's some childish elements - Ewoks and all that Jar Jar BS. Really though that's main stream SW. KOTOR is definetly more adult oriented with betryayal, love, and murder.
I dunno man I just feel Kung Fu Panda is too much for me. Hated the movies. I know... I know... Pandarens have been mentioned since way before Kung Fu Panda, but still. Not like I am totally against kid stuff- I do enjoy a good cartoon every once in a while obviously.
WOW meant to me the ugly horde (the face of evil) vs the alliance (goody goody good guys). Sure Blood Elves broke the mold some but they weren't furry animals tied in with cuteness and an entire Asian culture. When I see a panda I think cuteness and fuzzy wuzzy. Just don't see how I cann break my mental image of what I think of pandas. Just WOW catering to the $$$ imho at the sacrifice of their main story.
WOW lore is so deep. Surely you can admit they could have thought of something better. New hero classes, naga races, and other things that have been mentioned. Going back in time to the Emerald Dream/Nightmare was something I'd hoped for.
Now I'm no Star Wars freakazoid but it does have a deep meaning to me. I remember being 7 years old and walking into a movie theater with no idea what was showing (Original SW 1976). Then my eyes transfixed on a 2 hour journey into space with great villains (Darth Vader) and great heroes. Sure the SW title has ben bastardized for years with the last 3 movies sucking shit.
Bioware aren't really furry lovers or into Ewoks. That's why the entire KOTOR story takes place thousands of years before Darth Vader etc... Not really anything childish I can think of in KOTOR. SW sure but not KOTOR.
Will SWTOR fail- who knows. But it hasn't failed yet and has millions of fans. Neither Blizz nor Bioware pay me- so why should I give a rats ass
Not to mention the Pokemon game Blizzard is throwing into MoP. Just seems to be catering to a younger and youger audience.

Jinkobi on Shadowsong-US.
I go to agree with Mosg.
Im sure everyone has their own opinion as reality is a personal perception based upon expierences.
Heres my opinion...
The pandas are stupid. I knew Blizzard was loosing it when they introduced squid humanoids from space. Fanboi or not, its stupid. My 11 yr old thinks its cool, and started reciting Kunfu-Panda movie... nuff said.
Reading through all the posts in this thread, of recent.. seems to have a general theme. Nah. I was ok with the funny of the cows, the squid annoyed me to no end.. goblins were really dumb, pandas... lol. At some point I gotta draw a line. Whats next? the giant avatar version of Braun from WCIII DOTA? mermaids? got em. Zombies? got em. space aliens? got em. warewolf from Twilight movies? got em. ... uh.. uh... uh... dragons!? got em.... uhhhhhhhhhhh (grabing at straws......) cartoon talking animals? ...BAM! got em.... oh I know! The Peanut-butter Jelly time dancing banana!!! WIN!
Ive said this many times, so Im not going to soap box again. Frankly im tired of that too. Blizz rolls out a new exp or large patch every time a new MMO comes out to counter sales, and attempt to keep subscribers. They're slowly loosing subs. Check the trends. The game is done. Its just a pathetic ploy. Old lore, too many carrots on a stick.
Im done too.
And yes, Im going to go play another MMO. why? because I want to. WoW was done when the Arthas died.
Now its just one big fat tauren, and theyre milkin it.
That being said. Ive vowed to liquidate evey toon, and give my gold to the first random dude I see, and delete every toon. Never going back. Am I quitting because Im citing its childish? heh, heavens no, ALL video games are a bit childish. I just dont like it anymore. Its stupid.

I disagree. Someone who is twelve right now could not possibly have seen the original trilogy or the new trilogy in the theater. They may have been raised with Star Wars as a household name but by and large they certainly haven't grown up with it the way that people in their 20's-40's have. Do you know what these 12 year olds have grown up with and saw in movie theaters? Fat pandas bouncing people around with their stomachs.
I have a grip. I know it's a video game. The objection I have is that Pandaren run counter to the World of Warcraft schema that I have had in my head for 7 years. They cross the line from quirky/funny/interesting/social commentary and sit square in the silly court. Anyways...
I think Monks look cool. Focusing on the Horde/Alliance tension is good. The talent trees look *amazing* for multiboxing. Story wise though, I find a mystical island a hard fit following Illidan, Arthas and then Deathwing. /shrug

On Topic:
The proposed talent changes are almost enough to make me want to keep playing. They look seriously amazing for us boxers. I'm sure lots of them are gonna' go through a lot of iterations before the expansion goes live but so far they look really good.
I guess if they can just fix the train wreck that is rated BG's they might be able to turn things around a bit.
