@Ryguy226 We can only hope. I mean, we can all picture a scenario where humanity is saved at the last second when MS Skynet blue screens just when it's about to launch the nuclear holocaust.

But really, the loss of Theramore will mean all of the alliance's gains in the barrens will have to collapse-- there is just no other port to supply the armies. Realistic, if blizzard has any consistency at all, this also means a complete retreat from the barrens, if not utter distruction of the forces there.

After pretty much just falling out of love with this game in Cata, after being an avid player from early BC (pre-2.1), I'm thinking these changes, and what looks to be a decent amount of new content, I might just come back. Looks like there will be enough newness to clear out Cata's stench.

@(Unverified) Acting like an American? You aren't much of a student of history. Europe needs no roll models for violent, homicidal, or genocidal individuals or groups or governments, it has a long history of violent conquest, religious persecution, and bloody mayhem. The US hardly invented such things.

I've been healing since I leveled my first toon to 70 3 years ago. I've tried just about every healing class in the meantime, and though I've played most every class now, I always come back to healing at some point. But, the more I read of these changes they are making to healing, it makes me think that they are emphasizing the things that I like like least as a healer to be the basis of the new healing model.

I'll try it, but I don't know that I'll continue as a healer in this expansion.

I play both sides....people are pretty much the same on either side, but there seems to be more "casual" players on alliance, and more dedicated pvp players-- at least on the servers I've been on. But, yeah, the rivalry is almost entirely player driven, and at times seems irrational-- people hating horde and refusing to play any horde characters, and vice versa. I kinda of think it's silly, because you are cutting yourself out of a lot of content that you paid for if you don't try both sides, but to each his own.

To be fair, they've said that the goal is to make all healers basically mana starved, so as to require you to dole out your heals both tactically and strategically. Now to me, fighting the mana bar is my least favorite part of being a healer. Ultimately, I think it'll make for fewer people wanting to heal as a main spec, so we'll have more "you have to heal or we can't raid" moments.

His company isn't doing anything different than what Apple pulls with their lawsuits. It's all a bunch of BS.

Not to mention that it's not irony either. But I guess the word is so misused now, that even professional writers can't be bothered to use it correctly.
