MASSIVE changes incoming to ALL talent trees!

Real ID says Hi!

Exactly my point. People were negative on RealID before it came out even though they hadn't seen the final implementation.

Granted, Cataclysm is a bit different since with RealID people could easily guess the results, whereas Cataclysm has lots of unknowns... but guessing about those unknowns, including making statement of "if it's this way then I'll likely react that way" is part of the fun. Otherwise why bother reading the news release anyway if you're not going to have any reaction until the final details are known?

Well I was using that as an extreme example and sarcasm. I didnt care how Real ID was implemented, I was an am still against it, but I understand the point your trying to make.

The "What if?" metagame is sometimes as much fun as the game itself, if less time-consuming. As for some of the general skepticism about a fundamental talent revamp, some of us remember what they did to hunter and shaman and paladin talents before they improved things in 3.0. It's not that much of a stretch to be nervous about their ability to pull off a fairly significant revamp of ALL of the talent trees at once, let alone a few at a time. [edit] Yes, I know we'll eventually get there. Please don't read any "OMG TALENTZ CHANG WIL KIL WOW" into this post.
