Every time Blizzard makes changes to WoW you see the huddled masses cry out, OMG IT"S ALL OVER!! You would think that Blizzard wasn't in this to make money, that they didn't care about subscriptions, and wanted to drive us off their servers.
The fact is, Blizzard cares about one thing, profit. In order to profit, they need us playing the game. If they dropped a 250 page scope document that fully detailed every class change and every detailed mechanic difference that we would see in Cataclysm, most peoples heads would explode. The bitch of it is, they give us bite sized pieces, and most peoples heads explode.
Q u o t e:
So I'm sitting here reading this and am so confused and astonished. What is it about tanking that blizzard hates so much I just want to cry, really! My warrior is dead, I really hate to say that but I don't really know what to say to u all. Maybe it's time to put down the shield and reroll. A Druid perhaps, I'm so sick and tired of being usless in this game and from what I understand blizz has taken what I had away from me now two. I'm looking so closely at what they are going to nerd next to see if they even tell use how we will be tanking and if warriors ( once the best class to play) will even be part of this game anymore, oh ya forgot, that's what deathknights are now, thanks for waisting 4 years of my life blizz.
We're announcing these changes now to pave the way for other information to come. It's important that people don't freak out. We're not going to break your class -- though there will be many changes to the game - ones we believe are positive changes. For now we ask that you just digest the information, try and absorb it, and wait for more specific class information to release before you scream that the sky is falling.
For those keeping track, I'm pretty sure this isn't a quote of Geng... but damn it sounds like it.
