Maybe I could even go with orc mages, dwarf shamans but undead hunters? How is a zombie going to get attached to any living thing ? And taurent priest and paladins ? What the fuck, Blizzard, things totally got out of hand here. Before wow was first out, the warcraft lore was my favorite of all the fantasy universes I've ever seen. I've played the war 3/frozen throne campain sooo many times just because of the amazing lore. And that got totally ruined when wow got out because players don't need to actively interact with the lore, there's no need to get interested in the quests or the universe, just grinding is enough. Through Cataclysm Blizzard just took a dump on the lore I've been so fond of. Ima sad panda  | ||

@FirstBorn - Two of Azeroth's greatest rangers are now Forsaken, Lady Sylvanas and Nathanos Blightcaller. Human hunters are a similar stretch, except they lack any sort of significant lore figures to train them. Tauren Priests/Paladins are controversial, but are actually firmly backed by pre-existing lore - Elune is the Night Elves' name for one of two major deities in Tauren mythology, and the Cenarion Circle exists because of the link. There's a corresponding 'sun god' which isn't brought up much in-game outside of NPC dialogue. </nerd> | ||

I'm actually really excited for all this. WotLK was boring as fuck. Oh and I don't give a fuck about the 'lore thingy'. It's their game, they to what they want. | ||

Disagree, druids are not simply about shapeshifting. They've become that in WoW, but there were druids who didn't shapeshift, and they shouldn't be defined like that. Plus there's different means to do it. Troll priests use juju or whatever. I mean, they can make up whatever lore so that trolls learn how to become druids, but I don't think troll magic users set a precedent for them becoming druids. The two aren't related. | ||

1) leveling to max level 4 times, check 2) Gearing up 8 times + 3 expansions = around 11 times, check 3) Reusing all the same old content with new skins, check. I am really glad I dont play WoW anymore. I cant believe people are excited about this expansion, but then again I got sick of grinding nonstop just to be equal to what I was before a long time ago. A lot of people are still into having to re-climb the tier ladder over and over. | ||

A lot of people are still into having to re-climb the tier ladder over and over. it's at t9 now with 3.2. but once you hit 80 you can get t8 stuff with 5 mans. so it's basically level to the max level, do 5 mans to get highest tier minus one, then raid to get highest tier. | ||

I don't see why people see having to level up and re-gear again a problem. What the hell do you want from an MMO? Would you rather sit at lvl 80 with the same skills and gear for eternity? | ||
