it's actually pretty easy for blizzard to keep the current end game content relevant. the only reason people stopped raiding with TBC was because pre-expansion itemization was pretty horrible. to get to the gear that actually worked with your class function, you had to get into BWL or higher which alot of guilds just never did due to attunement, fire resist requirements, etc. as long as they keep the TBC raid attunements low (as they are now) and don't make lvl 74 greens with better stats than SSC, then people will deffinitely still raid. oh, and some real XP from raiding would be nice too.

seriously people. this is coming from a german equivalent of the ESRB. this isn't a joke anymore. you can't argue against it. the game title is now fact. this leaker on mmo-champion? entirely unreliable. the german ESRB? entirely legitimate.

also, the level cap WILL be raised. the faster people who aren't used to MMOs understand this the faster we can all move along.

P.S. blizzard announced TBC over a year before it was released. news about WoW: WoTLK does NOT mean it is coming out any time soon. your silly self entitlement to lvl 70 epics is safe for now.

if you listen to their rants, they aren't usually asking to be top 5 dps. they just want to be able to spec they way they want, and still get to raid. a shaman is accepted as melee for his melee buffs and top 10 dps, or as a caster with caster buffs and top 10 dps, or as healer with great AoE heals and tank buffing. lawladins just need a way to have a niche in a raid. my personal favorite is create a talent where a percentage of their dmg passively heals all around them. they're NOT (or at least, SHOULD NOT) be asking to out dps the pure classes.

those keybindings are merely the default \. many players (including myself) utilize a much different method. i turn only by right clicking, moved the strafe left/right to A/D, and put my often used skills on Q,E,R,T,Y,F,G,H,X,C,V,B. i save the number bar for less in-the-moment needs like bandages, etc. my fingers just cant reach past 6 or so without moving my entire left hand.

woah woah woah guys... calm down.

to anyone who thinks a level cap will not be raised: that is how MMOs work. it is constantly evolving. you get fight for epics, get said epics, then get new content that makes you work all over again for new epics. however, just because they give us INFO about this new xpac doesn't mean it will come out within the next 1-4 months. they could release it alongside the oh-so-very-hyped WAR in early spring of 08 and i'd still have time to lvl up and epic out another character.

and i too remember a quote that said it was a full raid of 90s for arthas. either way, i doubt we're killing him just yet. northrend, yes, but arthas will find a way to escape.
