What they have done in the past is lower the price for all the old xpacs. If you wait until there is a sale or right before xpac you will liekly only pay 5-10$ to get Pandaria.

We are not going back in time, Garrosh is bringing the past to the future. The bronze dragonflight, like all of 'em, lost fraction of their powers at the end of Cataclysm, they are no longer able to control timelines only travel between them. There's also the new player Kairoz(or someone else) from their dragonflight who offers you the Vision of Time quests which allow you to see cut scenes of possible future. We will most likely see more of the story surrounding that unfold in next expansion and/or the ones after(as the end of this exp will spill over into next ones).
Now to the biggest complaint I've got. 20man raids. What in the actual fuck are they thinking? Guild merges don't work, and this effects BOTH 10 and 25 man guilds make no mistake. Top 25man pve guilds, we are talking about the very top here, we have more than just 25 players in the core, I don't even want to start thinking about who 10 players I'm forced tell, sorry buddy, there's no room for you to raid anymore, go find er, I don't know really since all other top guilds are kicking members left and right, go merge with 10mans lol. No, just no. And how the hell are Paragon, Sanitas etc are supposed to stay competitive when they suddenly need to recruit over 10 players more?
Also how are you going to balance the number of roles left over? I hardly think 20mans are going to require 4-5 tanks. Lets assume now two 10 man guilds merge, what are the 2 tanks supposed to do now? Sure I've switched mains between tiers if something else was required and I've alts geared up but most people enjoy playing just on their main. Hell, in most guilds for example that warrior tanking who's been doing it for years now is doing it because he enjoys it and probably likes to raidlead from that position as well. Good luck trying to get him to switch to something he doesn't enjoy.
This is something which might drive forces to unsub, at least what's I like to think at the moment. It can affect servers as well, so you've your medium servers with only some raiding guilds, suddenly they quit and you might see prices going up in AH and you sure as hell wont really attract new players/guilds in your server. This just seems overall bad idea right now, and it's confusing as hell now that they decided rename difficulty levels for no apparent reason except lolz normal is heroics now.

Many of the top raiding guilds field 2 raid groups, so I think you're being overdramatic dude. Sorry it affects your guild though.

Hmm.. Could someone tell me how this portal ended up on the bottom of the "zangarmarsh ocean" and later standing in zangarmarsh?
![[image loading]](http://www.blogcdn.com/wow.joystiq.com/media/2007/12/aa1208s.jpg)
Well nvm. I found out it was put there after the sundering of draenor to get the burning legion there and later closed by illidan.

My best guess would be that the ecological damage the orcs did with fel magic(possibly the eruption of the Hand of Gul'Dan) evaporated enough of the ocean to drain enough of the Zangar Sea for them to build the portal.

Time travel... that is not for me What DCRed says on this page sounds a bit like Terminator lore. Don't really need that in my Warcraft universe.
I can only assume that the lore must be a total mess by now. Just adding stuff for the purpose of adding stuff. I don't know, I have read 10.000+ pages of Malazan books, so I don't mind complex and long-winded story telling. But I don't think this is the Warcraft lore I cherished anymore.

Not sure why Blizzard insists on forcing 20 man raids at this point when raiding guilds are already a dying breed. Seems like a pointless change, especially when most of the playerbase does LFR exclusively. Just going to cause more trouble.

Warcraft's had time travel since whenever the bronze dragons were introduced, which was at least 2004. That said, it's multiverse hopping more than it is actual time travel.

So will this mean there are two Burning Legions now?
Thanks, Garrosh.

Granted, we also get two Velens, Akamas, and Nobundos.

So, I've been reading the WoW forums and someone brought up a very cool idea.
What if Grom ended up killing Garrosh?
Just imagine it. The son who aspired to be like his father. Who prided himself that he was Groms son and that he wanted to achieve something far greater then what he did. Trying to remove himself from the shadows of Grom.
Only to be struck down by his father because he does not approve of his honorless ways.
