Cataclysm indeed brings WoW to a new phase. Almost all we knew about WoW is gonna change, the history leading from Warcraft, all series, will be somehow reversed to a new level, that will be the level of the own World of Warcraft, we can say that the game starts here, actually. That's a thing I totally dislike, all I liked in wow, was from version 1 to 2.4.3. WOTLK itself has a good features, but it's somehow silly ... they broke the stats, they broke the fun of walking to profit your needs, they broke the fun of being scrub ... Now it's only OPness'n'all. Indeed now there's more features, better graphics, better quests scritping, many things re-done in order to entertain us ... But what it was, it was perfect. The old times are dead for me, and will never return, 'cause blizzard wants the money of the people, and the people want to be OP entertained, there is no want or need for role players, the connection for us is denied.
Actually with a little of fantasy it could be retrieved, but this fantasy is being breaked by the OP stats and all the mesh ...
