Does anyone else see Cataclysm as The End?

I hate condescending doomsayer posts. If you don't like it, show blizzard with your money and stop playing.

At the same time, we went through this when they started announcing wrath changes. The nerdrage that ensued when they realigned buffs (specifically ToW no longer stacking + unable to chain Hero / Bloodlust) was pretty rampant, yet paladin 4 shaman are still the easiest comp to run through 1-80. I think it's far to early to tell. I'm very anxious to see what they do with the class changes. But we really won't know anything until boxers get into the beta and start the hands on testing. Anything before then is premature speculation at best.

Personally, I'm concerned with the direction. It's pretty evident all the people that made WoW successful have gone to other projects and the current team is just trying to keep it "between the ditches". I loved the Wrath expansion. I loved being able to easily / casually raid content. I hope they continue to keep this philosophy and cater the game to the masses instead of the hardcore elite. I'm just getting tired of relearning the game every patch and tired of the constant PvE nerfs to "fix" PvP.

I think its too early to judge Cata. Classes are going to be pretty much re-designed. If anything, being a boxer going in will be nice. Especially one with multiple teams that can shuffle members around if new class combos are better.

I am waiting till they release all the class info before I make any decisions.

indeed. Most is speculation. Lets wait and see how it is.

Being that I can fall asleep mid heroics I hope they make the game as hard as possible because there is nothing we can't box kill that the avg retard x5 can kill. I really miss actually needing to set up focus cc stuff from BC heroics ( before they got nerfed into the ground at least ).

I don't think that they'll hurt multiboxing very badly. I do get the feeling that they don't have a problem with it but don't want it to become too prevalent, but the game as it currently runs seems to do that just fine.

My concern is the same as supernova's; as long as they keep the game within reach of casual players, I'll be happy. I'm on a server with friends again and am in a guild they joined, so I spend more time single-boxing these days. As long as the game remains fun and there is a reasonable progression path, I don't think this expansion will make me leave.
